  1. I plant a lot of lantanas for annuals since summers are so arid here. I can't believe we are looking at no rain this week after what it looked like a few days ago. My grass has shut down.
  2. I watered everything this morning knowing there'd be no rain today or any time soon. This desert sh*thole is fully back to form now DROUGHT
  3. Yest again everything misses and consolidates into a heavy solid line to the east. It's truly incredible how different the summer climate is between my microdesert and places just 10-20 miles south and east. With no rain for almost two weeks now, I can say DROUGHT
  4. Looking like a big day for PA and just scattered stuff for central MD. Will have to get lucky to break this long dry streak
  5. Yet another flood watch, meanwhile my yard is parched and the ground is hard as rock. 0.20 since July 2
  6. The day 1-7 qpf forecast looks almost exactly like it did for last week...... when I got a grand total of 0.20. Better luck this time!
  7. Oh look, more thunderstorms for Gaithersburg and Rockville LOL
  8. 88/77 here yuck! Meanwhile our daughter is in American Fork, UT for a wedding and I just looked at the temp there -- 88 with a DP of 39!
  9. Your rain shadow is a tough one for typical east-moving t-storms. You need a decaying tropical system with NW moving rain bands
  10. Partly sunny and 83 - turned into a nice afternoon for sitting out. Got just 0.2 total for the week (all yesterday), which amounts to about one twentieth of what the 7-day qpf forecast said a few days ago. LOL
  11. Nuthin burger here again. We might be moving to Prince Frederick in a few months so maybe I'll actually see more than one thunderstorm a year. Summer in Germantown is sad
  12. Some light rain but it's becoming obvious that the big rain predictions a couple days ago are gonna bust big in my area
  13. I'm liking the look on radar better than yesterday's skinny, fast-moving line. My yard and butterfly garden need some rain pretty bad now
  14. Hope tomorrow's FFW turns out better than today's 0.0
  15. You're good. We do fine with stratiform rain events, but thunderstorms are orographically blocked here and they are very rare, maybe 2 or 3 per summer. I expect less than a half inch for the whole week
  16. Just missed and the line consolidated to my east. Hope I have better luck the rest of the week. I'll need to water the garden this evening
  17. Radar looks like very light shower but it's solidly moderate rain coming down. Efficient rain processes? It must be pouring in central VA to southern MD
  18. Steady lt/mod rain for the last hour and about 1.5 in the gauge. Perfect!
  19. 0.85 from that first round and a fresh 75 degrees. Off to a great start!
  20. Flush hit by a cell that blew up west of Gaithersburg and rolled through; will measure when it stops. The pressure is off now for later rounds. Hope everyone gets in on the action!
  21. Whoa DCA at 86/75 already. GAI listed at 87/77 -- dunno if accurate but it sure feels that hot out there! C'mon drenchers!!
  22. I need rain bad as I've missed out for several days now. That FF watch jinx makes me nervous A sweaty 78/78 to start
  23. Can't believe I got some garden work done with temps in the upper 60s!
  24. Got 0.9 in 20 minutes last evening from a quick, small pulser that formed right over my area then faded. 2 miles to my north got nothing. Cloudy and a cool, fresh 65
  25. Well this sux. Missed everything yesterday and today and thinking it might not rain again for a very long time, Zone forecast looked so good 24 hours ago and nuthin
