At this point I've just accepted that it won't rain appreciably here until we get into the Nov - April period of cloudy, wet and and temps in 40s-50s. I'm keeping the garden and potted plants going and let the grass go Pleasant overcast and 75
-
Yep. I chuckled at LWX's P&C forecast of 1.25-1.75 inches for Monday/Monday night period plus more strong rain working thru Thursday, and laughed at the ridiculous qpf maps showing 2-3" for the week. As I knew would happen I only have a few hundredths of an inch for the whole week will finish July with well under an inch
-
NOPE. It won't rain in my desolate spot until fall
-
So the rain later today looks to be central VA to southern MD. Another whiff. Then the dry front tomorrow and no more chances of rain for a very long time
-
This! It's the only way my micro-desert gets any real rain before the 6-month wet period of 40s/50s and rain starts in November. I hope we get a big one that turns Germantown's roads into rivers and washes all the tumbleweeds and gila monsters away
-
Congrats on the rain rich getting richer. It'll take me to the end of Sept to accumulate that much
-
0.06 in the desolate Germantown desert while places close by to the east got over an inch. Only 0.86 for a July total (NO it will not rain a drop here the rest of the month) My sprinkler system is running hard this morning. The grass is gone and this time it's not coming back
-
RadarScope. It costs a few bucks and is great. I wish it had a rainfall total since they killed iweathernet
-
This one from iweathernet is OK. It used to be great as you could zoom way in and was accurate. For some reason they ruined the zoom in ability. I've also see the 24-hour and 72-hour not match up Anyone know a better one?
-
No measurable rain and now the sun is blazing. STRIKE ONE. I'm calling a whiff for the entire week right now ob: SUNNY and 81; dry as a bone, dead grass and dying trees
-
Peeks of sun in Germandesert as the heavy rain trains northward agonizingly close to the east. I'll be sick if we whiff here today
-
FIFY! No just kidding I hope we all can get some good rain at some point this week, even if not today Thought about a walk in the dry overcast but it is muggy! Cloudy, 75/75
-
Who thinks we really get some decent rains this week? The forecast looks wet and my P&C has 1.25-1.75 inches for just Monday/Mon night but I've seen this story too many times before Nice start to a summer day - sunny and 68
-
Southern and SE VA getting it going early as they look to rain much of the next week. Meanwhile the Shen Valley thru central MD will get little or no rain over the period

2024 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
BlizzardNole replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Cool pic! But after sitting out on the deck to enjoy these nice temps, I think I hate annual cicadas more than mosquitos -
Wow NW VA needs help asap. Hope it comes next week but I have to see to believe Drought Monitor - VA
-
Psshhh it ain't gonna rain next week. We'll get plenty in our 6 month wet season But wow it's a gorgeous day! Almost noon and only 79 degrees
-
That's what I'm hoping for. Tropical is going to be dead for a while with all that Sahara dust but should start up again in a few weeks. I'd like to see a large remnant go up the coast with a front slowly approaching from the west Cloudy and 78 in late morning which is a welcome change!
-
"Heavy rain" wording in forecast and I got a big 0.15. Total for July just 0.80 and there is no chance for any more rain for a long time
-
Yeah sorry to infect your area with the desert bug. Eh, I don't care I've let the grass go dormant and it'll be back when we get to our 6 months of rain and 40s in a few months. I just keep the flower garden and pots watered Let's get ready to enjoy some GREAT temps over the next week or so. We deserve it!
-
Cluster of thunderstorms were heading straight for me, but I knew better. Sure enough, they split around my desert then reformed to the east. 0.05 I fully expect a dry frontal passage tonight and am watering this morning
-
That walk from my office on 1st Street to Union Station earlier was like being in a furnace! It was just like that day in June 2012 when we hit 104/105. I am salivating at this pattern change coming with a decent stretch of maybe not even reaching 90. I do not expect any rain tomorrow but that's OK
-
No rain - missed to my south. I am looking forward to better temps later this week although I fully expect a dry frontal passage
-
I think the Penn line is different and doesn't get the heat-related speed restrictions we get on the Brunswick line heading NW out of DC, which is a standard track (no overhead wires). We get them 90 and over, or even 85 if there was a big swing in temps from morning lows. All due to heat kink risk
-
Here too! I love the big, colorful sunpatiens and had a bunch last year but they are water needy. This year lots of lantana and annual vinca which are tough as nails with high heat and dry Already 86/70. Not looking forward to commuting to DC on MARC train tomorrow with the problems they have with big heat
