  1. I wish that line had filled in -- looks like a close call for my area to catch the northern extent of it
  2. Because it's bad for many right now outside of maybe NE MD. Wasn't there a ridiculously wet year a few years ago where places got 60-80 inches compared to the average 40? That probably skews it. Anyway I'm seeing leaf drop from mature trees and have fewer hummingbirds and butterflies than I've ever seen at this point in summer
  3. I'd love to have one of those night thunderstorms with lots of lightning. What a wild day in western NY with a large area under enhanced. Already several tornado warnings
  4. I wasn't going to set up my irrigation kit since I only planted tough stuff -- tropical milkweeds, lantana and annual vinca. But even those have been suffering and hand watering by hose doesn't work as well so I broke down and installed it. Guaranteed rain this evening for that parched, cracked garden 94/77 (108) ouch
  5. Good info! Last year we had just 8, with 3 in a row July 27-29 and 5 in a row from Sept 3-7. Would have been a nice number if not for that Sept heatwave. This year's number is going to be ugly
  6. Caught the edge of a shower. Not much rain but dropped the temp to 80 That's wild south south of Balt. Says up to 2" has fallen with up to 1.5 more. They'll have standing water while a few miles away is bone dry
  7. Right! I've gotten to where I really hate the 6 months of dead looking bare trees with dreary, drizzly 40s and 50s. We're retiring soon and if we're gonna have hot summers, well give me a longer growing and gardening season. I know we'll pay in summer further south but the 6 months of coats and dreariness with almost no snow in return has gotten real old 95/74 (105)
  8. DCA 99/75 (112). C'mon one more degree!
  9. Wow it's hot, even on the deck under tree shade is rough. I feel bad for the millions of folks in Texas with similar heat and no AC for while I wish the remnants of that thing were further east as tropical might be the only way we get good rains here before fall
  10. I went and looked -- at the time (2 pm) their HX was 117! They are down to "crisp" 95/72 now lol Right now I'm at 98/73 HX 108
  11. OT but has anyone been to Corolla, NC? We went a couple summers years ago and the water temps there are wild. We had one day with water in low 80s and the next morning it was 60. Then back to mid-70s the next day
  12. LWX disco sounds optimistic for rain chances over the next few days. Let's hope as some CoCoRaHS reports in northern VA had only about a half inch for the month of June. That is ugly
  13. Cloudy, breezy and a cool 66. Base state!
  14. Yeah sorry to the many who got nothing all weekend. I feel blessed to luck into 0.6 last night. This is going to be a rough summer with many 95-plus days and very little rainfall
  15. Today's been nasty. I can't even imagine what the infamous 101/90 at Appleton, WI in July 1995 felt like
  16. Wow Frederick/Ballenger Creek getting it again! A not much else around (so far)
  17. Getting decently sunny already at 10:30 am. Hope we get some good rains later
  18. That's good and hope it "threads the needle" to keep the worst winds off any of those islands. I remember when beautiful Grenada was devastated by Ivan 20 years ago
  19. The lightning in the distance in that Frederick storm was beautiful as we drove back home from Calvert yesterday. Managed to get into the southern edge of that for a much needed 0.6
  20. Forecast now just chances of scattered tonight/tomorrow. I just heavily watered the gardens Cloudy, 73 and DRY
  21. Complete failure less than 0.10. Yard is hard as rock now - at least no more mowing
  22. Looking promising for some rain tomorrow afternoon and evening. Let's hope we all cash in
  23. I had a close shot but missed just to the north. Congrats Clarksburg. Got a quick sprinkle and dropped the temp to 81 though
  24. Just 8 days of 95-plus at DCA last year (and 5 were in Sept). We're gonna blow that out of the water this summer 96/69
  25. 94/70 right now Couple 80 degree readings out on the Bay -- nice day to be on a boat
