Running the sprinklers hard this morning as I am sure that we get shut out again today.  Soil is dry as sand and the lawn feels like concrete.

Just incredible.  Missed a storm just north earlier, then just south now.  To add insult, a new part blew up a mile east and moved off.  I'll be out tomorrow morning watering my parched, cracked hard garden beds.  Germandesert in full summer mode

Painfully close miss to the north for my parched yard.  Hope we get another shot at one later.  The nice thing is it sucked a lot of heat out of the air

55 and gorgeous.  Great sinkhole fixing weather

My spot got lucky for once and managed to score 0.46 based on the iWeather map.  Decent shower that we needed

Good thing this reading from near Brunswick, GA isn't right!

Time for a new gauge!  A couple weeks ago my gauge had an inch when the iweathernet rainfall map had less than 0.5.  Now for yesterday's event, iweather's map says 0.64 which correlates with amounts in that CoCoRaHS map above, and that darn gauge has 1.1 

I think the dang thing might be metric but I don't see any markings saying so.  Heck with it I'll just go by that map

Managed 0.64 which is decent but was hoping for 1.0 for the dry ground.  Much heavier amounts close by in all directions.  That's Germandesert in summer!

The Germantown shield is active today with everything dodging just west right as it arrives.  This one looked like a can't-miss, until it did.  I won't be shocked if I have to water stuff tomorrow

What an awesome video!  That nasty cell looks to put a direct hit on Richmond

First shot as we are catching the edge of that cluster passing through western MontCo.  I am hoping for an inch total as we've been dry and my lawn feels like concrete when walking on it.

Got a patch of clouds, some gusty winds, and it's 69 degrees at 2 pm near on June 18.  Unbelievable!  Gonna sip beer and cook out tonight with jeans and long-sleeve shirt LOL

Quite a cluster of storms heading for my area.  That's what I get for watering the gardens this morning 

Spoke too soon!  It completely disintegrated just as it was almost here and split south.  Germantown is definitely back

Quite a cluster of storms heading for my area.  That's what I get for watering the gardens this morning 

Gonna miss this round and will have to do some watering

The radar over Delaware looks like a land hurricane

Got some house-shaking thunder as it came through Germantown and a number of close strikes.  Short but LOUD storm at 5:15 am LOL

Partly sunny now and just gorgeous.  I was quietly sitting in a deck chair and a hawk landed on a branch like 10 feet from me.  After a half minute it silently zoomed off.

66 degrees in mid-afternoon on June 11

This product is usually dead on with my rain gauge. Zoom way in and you can click on your house and it will display the amount. It has 0.51" over my yard for the past 24 hours, and my gauge is reading 0.50".

I tied the map again and zoomed way in - still 0.96.  We got waves of heavy rain in the afternoon/evening and I checked the gauge once we had a break and it was 1.1.  Then it was raining hard again later at night and I had 1.75 total.  Strange.  The map was dead on with the 0.23 a couple nights ago.

This is the first time I've seen such a discrepancy between the rainfall map, which shows 0.96 for me, compared to my rain gauge with 1.75 (yes it was empty before yesterday afternoon )

This stuff pops up fast!  We went from nothing around on radar to heavy rain in a matter of minutes

Got 0.23 last night.  I am also hoping for a storm tonight.  I love the nighttime storms with lots of lightning so hoping for that

Germantown in mid-summer form with 0.07 yesterday while Rockville rocked.  That's OK since May was so wet

Looking forward to glorious weather for days.  No 90s in sight!

All this talk of DFH 120 has me wanting to try it!  I love the 90 minute.

Just a sprinkle here as everything went just south but I'm OK with that as I got soooo much rain in May.  Parents in northern Calvert report small hail and brief but real heavy rain of 0.75 in minutes.
