I know right? After weeks of dry and sun we get a pattern like this for VA Beach. As for adding insult, here at home in Germantown we'll get between 0.00 and 0.3 for the whole week.
-
I was hoping for some thunderstorms while at VA Beach next week since I don't get them at home but, uh, careful what you wish for?
-
Good looking, severe warned t-storm was heading right for my dusty, cracked yard around 9 PM last night, but rapidly split and went poof literally a couple miles away. Ended up with just 0.2 for the day, and sitting at a whopping 0.5 for the whole month.
-
Finally getting a thunderstorm!......at work in NE DC. Decent lightning/thunder and very dark. Not much wind. At home of course was another whiff.
-
Watching storms form just east and south of Germandesert and move away, as usual. Sitting at 0.3 for the month and will get another shutout today.

We'll be reading the Wakefield forecast discussion this week LOL. This is what they are saying now: Introduced chance PoPs beginning early afternoon on Friday, continuing into Saturday. It is the GFS that suggests much of this precip will fall along and east of I-95. With that in mind, the 12z GFS is a wetter solution than the new 12z EURO, which would actually keep much of the area dry Friday and Saturday. In other words, no reason to change your outdoor plans Fri-Sat quite yet...model agreement is low during this period, so stay tuned.

Managed to get lucky and got a nice shower dropping about a quarter inch. The last rainfall was all the way back on June 24, and that was only 0.15.
-
I am enjoying the mostly cloudy skies this morning; it's good for the extensive watering of the garden beds. Even the vincas are complaining, and those things are tough. So, anyone got thoughts on a possible cut off low setting up near the coast next weekend? How ironic it would be if after weeks of dry, we get a wet week while we are on our family reunion trip in VA Beach (21st-28th). LOL I am already getting texts from relatives asking why their phone weather apps are showing the thunderstorm icon every day that week.
-
Yup. And my last rain was 0.15 on June 24. I have yet to see a good thunderstorm this whole season. I don't want severe - just a good downpour with frequent lightning. I get out of the desert for a week on the 21st to VA Beach. I hope it produces one good thunderstorm.
-
Sorry for your loss. I know a guy from here that retired to that area a couple years ago, and he loves it. He is also sort of between Austin and San Antonio which are really cool cities. Oh and you'll be in the path of the total solar eclipse on 4/8/2024! You'll have to take a short flight to Denver in winter for some awesome skiing.
-
Well I nailed that one. One cell passed two miles south of me yesterday with nothing but sprinkles here. And sure enough, LWX is saying the best rain today is in central VA to southern MD. The Central MD Desert is in full effect now. No rain for weeks and wont' get any today. At least I'l have a cool weekend for all the extensive watering to be done.
-
Where's NPZ?! Winchester at 4:35 PM was 70 degrees with winds at 38G44. Radar looks real nice over Stephens City. I would love some of that rain but I ain't holding my breath, not even for Friday. I can see isolated t-storms today and tomorrow focused out west, then Friday forming just east and south.
-
I cannot wait for the cool Canadian air mass coming this weekend, but the Germantown desert is back and don't expect any rain over the next couple days or even Friday with the frontal passage. Just 1.8" in the last 30 days here and I've got parched grass and large cracks in the garden beds. Watering like crazy.
-
So jealous of that juicy little thundershower just sitting over the N. Potomac area about 10 miles south of me. That must be so nice.
-
Man am I happy to be in OC where we have stayed around 85 yesterday and today with a little bit of a sea breeze. This heat is so widespread with 90s well up into Quebec and Ontario; I found a 97/75 (HI 110) a couple hundred miles into Ontario. A co-worker of mine is at some isolated lake in Quebec on a fishing trip this week and was looking forward to nice cool weather. Ooops.
-
Looks like I'll see some action on the MARC train ride home from DC. At least this time I won't get nailed on my walk to Union Station. I tried waiting that one out last week by taking a later train, but it was still pouring when I left anyway LOL.
-
Raining hard and blowing in NE DC -- I'm gonna take a train 20 minutes later rather than get soaked. I have an umbrella but that's not helping on the First Street canyon effect. ** Oooh just had a ctg strike with thunder less than a second after -- must have been within a few hundred feet.
-
Might get more of that t-storm that I bargained for -- it looks to hit right as I am on my several block walk to Union Station.
-
My wife said it looked pretty wild in Germantown. LOL we get the rare strong thunderstorm and I'm not home (in DC at work).
-
Whoa just looked -- heavy band sitting over central FredCo. Ugly.
-
Yup. Although before last night's 1.25 inch deluge (that's a deluge for my area), I was sitting at just 0.9 for the month. Mad at myself for not cutting my approx. 8" high grass before the rain last night. Uh oh.
-
Craziness up there! MARC train service is cancelled today due to damage to the tracks -- we'll see if they get that fixed by tomorrow. I learned a lesson to ALWAYS bring my work laptop home, not just on Thursday nights for Friday/Monday telework. That thing is coming home every night from now on. No more complaining about missing rain -- I got 1.25" here which is better than I ever expected.

LOL not a drop in Germandesert again. Still at under an inch for the month and I say no significant rain here even through Friday. What an amazingly arid microclimate.
-
I'll be shocked if I get one third that amount. I am sitting at 0.9 for the whole month of May.
-
And after all of that I got 0.10 from the overnight activity. LOL.
