Basically nothing as everything trained just to the west earlier. Now it's happening again just to the east! My gawd this place is sick. I'm calling it now -- it will not rain at all in this godforsaken microdesert over the next several days. NONE

Literally a WALL keeping everything training just west. I bet my area gets a total shut out all the way through Monday

Elongated storm skirting by just to my west clinging to the high terrain with just sprinkles. I think the whole thing is gonna miss. Painful to watch

That cell heading into Washington County looks nasty on radar

Currently 87/71. Definitely feels more humid That GFS rainfall map looks good but I'll have to see rain before I believe we get any at all. I haven't had more than a trace since August 7

How about the one coming in behind it? Winchester/Stephens City only show in town tonite. Hope you get the goods

Drought begets drought. And that 1.1 over my part of upper Mont Co is not happening, unless that's millimeters

What the....low of 40 and a high of 90?! And it snowed 5-plus inches on March 10

DCA only had three 95-degree days all summer and now Sept is about to put up five straight and maybe including a 100

I'm looking forward to the next few days of very nice weather, but going into that dry heatwave next week after having no rain since August 7 is not good. LWX making a mention of how bad things are getting: Another point of concern is the ongoing drought from the Shenandoah Valley up into central MD and eastern WV. With this prolonged period of dry and hot conditions, this may only continue to get worse. In addition, with the low RH values and hot temperatures, fires will be quick to ignite, especially in the early to middle portions of next week.

Flood watch for the northern Shenandoah Desert including Winchester area -- we'll see! I've had no rain since August 8 and don't expect any this week or any time soon. The 90s and dry next week will finish a lot of stuff off.

Jrlg, This is another snip from that 90-day rainfall departure map -- your area is so dry yet not too far to your south is way above normal. Same here! I do have 2.2 for August but nothing since August 8.

This snip from the 90-day departure from UMD's Rainfall Departure Map shows the stark disparity of rainfall within just Mont Co, from 3-4 inches above in the far south to -2 inches and worse in the north and west. And I can say it's wayyy worse than -2 in my spot. Crazy!

Got caught in that heavy shower earlier right near ICC / I-270. It was heavy enough that everyone had the hazards on and were going 20 mph. Family was saying "we're getting some good rain!" and I'm like uh wait 'til we get home. Well Germandesert dodged it again with barely enough to wet the ground and not measureable in the gauge. The Drought of 2023 lives on

Our neighbors gave us some tomatoes from their garden and they are about the best we've ever had! We were wondering if it was the dry summer and now we know!

That's why I was so bummed to get zero rain from this past Sunday-Tuesday. I have not received a trace of rain since August 7 and there's nothing in sight!

Very nice morning out with upper 60s and calm. TC Hilary means business for the southern CA desert with widespread 5-7 inch amounts with lollies of 7-10

Now my zone has a FF watch and a severe TS watch in effect. Hilarious Edit: just walked around the yard a bit and it is hard as rock. I need to give up some of the plants I like next year and go with more drought tolerant stuff. Blazing sun and 88

LOL not again. If I had a buck every time I'm under a FF watch I could put it towards all the watering I'm doing

I've never seen a rainfall disparity as extreme as this year. The same places get it over and over while others are dry as a bone. Some spots got more rain in an hour yesterday than you two got in the last two months. The drought is a little less severe here than your locations but I got nothing out of yesterday/last night from the high chance and heavy rain wording, again. Now there is no chance for any rain for a very long time to come

Hardly anything here and now tonight is looking dry. Oh well sprinklers running tomorrow morning on schedule

Wishing today was my in-office day in DC so I could see this. Another split for good ol' Germandesert

I remember the strong Nino in fall 2015 -- we turned on the damn AC at Christmas because it was so warm and humid and were talking about how it won't snow a flake in the upcoming winter. But then we got destroyed

It's tough being in an orographic rain shadow! You need a post-tropical system moving up from the gulf with NW-ward moving training bands. Might be tough to get one of those with a building Nino in place.

Surprised to see these pop ups this afternoon. Hoping for good rain tomorrow I was oggling the 110-117 degree heat index readings in south FL and found this (bad reading but wild to look at). Beach day?
