I wonder why the heavier rain never shifted south? I've gotten over an inch which is great, but I'm jealous of all the 3-inch-plus amounts. I've never seen more than just light rain, not even moderate. Edit: LWX disco says rain chances Monday and Tuesday should be focused south of I-66 and Rt 50, so maybe that will finally be our turn.
-
These are the deficits we're dealing with. For example, Calvert would need over 7 inches on top of the approx. 12 inches of normal rainfall for Jun-Aug just to get to average.

We are about 4 miles south of Prince Frederick, just past Sixes Road. Thanks for the soil amendment tips! We are having a patio added this fall and I want to have garden beds installed all along the perimeter of it. Finally got some good batches to come through here! Prince Fred Mesonet (2 miles away) reports 0.55 so far today on top of 0.65 yesterday. I like the warmer temps coming and would love to see some peeks of sun stir up some t-storms for the area.

Thanks for that info! We're new to southern Calvert and I garden as a hobby. The soil here scares me - mix of sand and cement. The horrible drought hasn't helped, and this event has been very paltry so far. Hoping for better luck later today and tonight, but I'm starting to think we end up real short down here.
-
Radar trend looks good for central and northern MD and spotty at best down here. My county went into this at just 9.2" since Jan 1 for a departure of -7.3. Look at those soil moistures (20-40% is what you want)
-
Yep, the big 0.25. You think Drizzlefest '26 will get us to 0.5 total?
-
Shocking
-
0.17 overnight. Not much but better than the zero we usually get. The forecast looks good, but I think we end up with less than half inch all the way thru Monday here
-
No rain at all and now the forecast is looking bleak. I'm starting to think we get one of those multi-day dreary, gray periods with little to no rainfall. I'm looking at the second straight month with well less than an inch total rainfall. Might even be less than 0.5 for the month. Devastating summer on tap
-
It feels so hot already at 85, I'm dreading upper 90s! I bet on Friday we see temps sinking thru the 50s during the afternoon with showers and a stiff east breeze
-
LWX sounds optimistic saying rainfall from frequent showers should add up. I know a lot of people would be disappointed with a rainy Memorial Day Weekend, but I'm begging for it even though we have plans like everyone else.
-
But I brought the Germantown rain hole down here with me. Just 0.21 here
-
0.29 spread over several hours. I'll take it! (measurement from Mesonet 2 miles away)
-
@CAPE you got some yellows and orange on radar heading in?
-
0.16 so far which is the most I've had for weeks. Hoping for more from that batch in central VA. You're right about it looking heavier on radar that is actually is. Yellows on radar just produce light rain. But I'll take it! Glad it held off for Mothers' Day
-
I had one brief shower pass through and am watching and hoping for the good-looking stuff on radar heading in. We need this bad!
-
Since there are 70-foot trees close to the west side of our house, we'll skip the derecho but take the rainy late summer and fall that El Nino advertises. I gave up on the grass and will re-try in Sept. (The builder did the hydroseeding right before the Jan 25 snowcrete storm. I asked them to wait but it's a requirement for occupancy LOL)
-
0.05 total and less than a tenth combined with last weeks "rain event." I'm about ready to just give up on trying to get a new yard going. I don't expect any real rain until probably the fall.
-
Just 0.04, hoping for thunderstorms this evening
-
From LWX disco: "Possibility of someone being south of heavier axis Wed and north of axis on [Thu] resulting in local min in QPF." Beautiful evening though!
-
42 for the low which is good since I have sensitive stuff out. Looking forward to Monday/Tuesday nice weather! I hope I don't get another whiff on the rain midweek
-
Even before they started digging, the ground was hardpan, and even the surface soil when they started digging an orange/yellow mess. It was fully wooded so maybe that makes it worse? We plan to have some beds installed by tilling deep and mixing in lots of compost. The backyard is coming in OK. I want a chemical free backyard with clover, buttercups, cornflowers, etc. mixed in with the grass.
-
You have a nice setting! We've just moved to a new construction home and there's no topsoil at all - just hard, gravelly sand. Gardening is gonna be tough! Having an April with almost a shutout of rainfall didn't help
-
0.03 for me . Ironically, I watched ol' Germantown where I used to live (and complain about missing rain) getting a nice soaking on radar LOL. I think my April total is close to zero, maybe a couple tenths. I've never seen such a dry April and I'm trying to grow a brand-new lawn. Ooof
-
This weather is awful! Breezy, dark, stuck in the 40s, and a measly 0.02 of "rainfall." I got excited when the forecast had a half to three quarters of rain for overnight Saturday.
