  1. Man look at poor Greensboro for the last 30 days -- 2 point something. Horrible!
  2. I have family in northern Calvert – they got a nice thunderstorm Wednesday that was moving north, and a nice one yesterday that was moving south. Now they’re getting that big slug of rain. I just went out and heavily watered my parched gardens. I don’t expect to see a drop here.
  3. Got a laugh out of the point-and-click. I don't think I will see any rain at all through the weekend.
  4. I've been thinking of adding dill, fennel and parsley to my butterfly garden for black swallowtails but haven't tried it yet. I get lots of Monarch caterpillars with the tropical milkweed, and all kinds of butterflies nectar on that stuff. Hummingbirds love it too. Have you seen any black swallowtail caterpillars on the herbs?
  5. Wow, some of those look pretty heavy, and they're slow movers. Someone's gonna end up with a surprise 1.0 or more.
  6. Radar estimates -- can't believe how bad some areas got screwed, especially southern MD. Hopefully places that were shut out get at least some rain today. I managed 0.8. Luscious 67 degrees out.
  7. Welcome to Maryland's weather hole. Rained for a few minutes here but that's not gonna cut it. My yard is hard as rock. On the plus side, the temp is down to 72.
  8. I'm going out to water. I am feeling a shut out.
  9. Crap, looks like I'm getting split by the Frederick and southern MontCo cells. Oh well, at least the temp dropped. I hope my area doesn't get screwed tomorrow somehow.
  10. Just looked at it on Radarscope. That must have been sweet after today's heat! I hope we all get some good rains on Monday. Still 95 here. Feels hotter out than at 4 or 5 pm due to no breeze.
  11. Anyone near Dale City? That looked like a lot of lightning that went through there. Still getting some light rain and a few strikes here.
  12. Nice thunderstorm in Germantown with a couple gusts to about 40 and some lightning. The best part is the temp went from about 95 to 72 in minutes! Still raining.
  13. Just 0.2 yesterday, but 5.5 for the month. What a string of above average rainfall months!
  14. At work in DC a few blocks from Union Station and barely missed the nice-looking cell to my north. Looks like lots of lightning on Radarscope with it. DARN!
  15. 3.2 from the deluge this morning and 4.5 since Thursday. As hard as it was pounding down here, I can't imagine the places that got 6 plus!
  16. I was checking out the crazy pictures on WTOP and they had this blurb at the end of the article All eyes turn to the south next weekend, where forecast models are hinting at a possible tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico. Long-range forecasts are hardly a given, but any storm that does develop in the gulf will need to be monitored for weather impacts in the D.C. region early next week.
  17. Been doing well here: July 2: 0.7 July 4: 0.8 July 6: 0.4
  18. I was curious about the highest ever dew point, and found 95/91 at Melbourne, FL July 1987. Can you even imagine that?! I also saw a DP of 88 from Minnesota. Then there's the world record of 108/95 from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. How long could someone survive in that?
  19. Looks like it's bubbling up towards Ballengers Creek now -- lots of lightning with it.
  20. I just went to Giant one mile from my house (see arrow) to pick up a few things. Heard thunder so checked Radarscope and saw the northern MontCo pop-up. It was still filtered sun and dry at the store. I get almost home and there's a curtain of mod/hvy, large-drop rain just sitting stationary right about the entrance of the neighborhood. Pretty good dose of rain -- maybe a half inch - while places 1 mile away got nothing.
  21. My fortunes turned today -- got a quick hitter for 0.2 a couple hours ago, then caught the edge of that severe warned one for another 0.5. About time!
  22. Wow I am just stunned. Great looking line with lots of lightning coming right at me and POOF it splits at the last minute and misses 2-3 miles south. Hardly any rain at all. This place in just incredible for missing thunderstorms. Maryland's dust bowl.
  23. Hot and dry here, and looking like no rain again. Some places like White Oak that got nailed yesterday are getting again.
  24. 91 here with a decent breeze. It's actually not too bad out. I'd LOVE to catch a thunderstorm later but I'm not holding my breath on that LOL. MAN does it look like a scorcher for the 4th! Not going to be pleasant for people on the Mall.
