  1. Although my area is not technically in deficit, we absolutely have drought-like conditions here with hard, dry ground, dormant grass and lots of brown leaves on the ground. Only 0.5 since July 2
  2. I'm looking forward to this break in humidity coming up but am smh at how we just went through two weeks of super high precipitable water with only a half inch of rain to show for it. I just watered the garden and damn the ground is rock hard. Last real rain was July 1-2, and 0.5 since then. Now things are really going to get ugly with almost no chance of rain for weeks.
  3. I cannot wait for the gorgeous weather coming early next week! Highs in the low 80s with low humidity? Get them grills ready and the beers chilled
  4. Oh look, another t-storm for Rockville LOL
  5. This shows how much of a craphole this place is and that it's not me exaggerating. Great looking radar moving in from west broke up right over me, then reformed east. This happens over and over. Only 0.5" total since July 2
  6. Been watching the weather where our daughter is in Utah and it sounds glorious. Right now it's 73 with a DP of 50. Tomorrow she returns home to eastern NC
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Yet another flood watch, meanwhile my yard is parched and the ground is hard as rock. 0.20 since July 2
  12. 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!
  13. Oh look, more thunderstorms for Gaithersburg and Rockville LOL
  14. 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!
  15. Your rain shadow is a tough one for typical east-moving t-storms. You need a decaying tropical system with NW moving rain bands
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Some light rain but it's becoming obvious that the big rain predictions a couple days ago are gonna bust big in my area
  19. 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
  20. Hope tomorrow's FFW turns out better than today's 0.0
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. Steady lt/mod rain for the last hour and about 1.5 in the gauge. Perfect!
  25. 0.85 from that first round and a fresh 75 degrees. Off to a great start!
