Heat index was 96 at both Dulles and DCA at 5pm. If that’s the new “really fng nice” we are royally screwed.

The forecast for KMWN is downright refreshing.

It’s gross outside. I biked the B&A trail and BWI loop and nothing is dry. It’s awful out.

Now under a warning here. Pounding rain, wind, T/L.

This cell is packing some nice T&L.

The area near Warrenton is at 2-3” in the last hour.

Finally getting in on the rain after an hour of lightning in the distance.

0Z HRRR and 18z 3K = storms tomorrow evening.

My Armageddon peppers are coming along well. 1.3m on the Scoville scale.

I love a good storm but hate these storms that move like a sloth to clear the area.

AA Co taking it on the chin. 1 hour estimates.

That Odenton storm just blew through piney orchard. Holy electricity Batman. Damn.

3K and HRRR seem locked in on an evening line of storms crossing the 95 corridor.

18z 3K wants to bring a cluster of storms into the metro area tomorrow evening.

Was driving east on 32 a bit ago and was able to match up these two cells on radar.

I just went to sit on the deck w a beer and immediately turned around. A beer inside sounds better today! 89/79 at the nearest station.

Been raining here since 630 and there was an earlier round this afternoon. Radar estimates have me at over 2” with areas just south and east in the 3-5” range.

Both the 0Z HRRR and 3K showing a strong signal for storms moving west to east tomorrow afternoon. 3K perhaps showing signs of a bow exiting east across the bay onto the eastern shore.

OZ HRRR with some boomers on the eastern shore tomorrow afternoon that drop a lot of rain.

I convinced myself this evening to wave the white flag on the rest of the season….for now at least….will change if they go on a burner pace lol. That said, am really curious to see how they handle Ohearn, Mullins, and a few others that are done after this yr. Pitching aside, the core of the Os is under team control for a few more years, so I’m not ready to say their window is closed. Adley/Basallo, Holliday, Cowser, Westburg, Gunnar, Mayo will be on next years team. That’s solid if they’re healthy. No fng clue what they do for pitching though.

It’s likely too late + the second half schedule is brutal, but the Os have gotten it back to 9 under .500 after bottoming out at 18 under earlier in the season.

Sure looks like this week will bring ample opportunity for wetness.

The situation in Texas is so sad. I’ve had my own daughter away at a camp in recent weeks and can’t even imagine what those parents are going through

Wind chills on KMWN tonight will be in the 15-25 range and likely staying below freezing through the 4th. Not unusual for them, but cool. And always a threat to the unprepared hikers that frequent that area. A few weeks back there were several rescues due to similar conditions combined with unprepared hikers.

Nice day at Dewey including a low pass by a C 17, a shark sighting along the surf, and Dewey beer’s new island retreat stout, which is fabulous.
