  1. Today turned into a beauty! Sunny and 73 with light breeze
  2. No choice for me - I watered even old, established shrubs as I've had just 0.64 for April, less than an inch for March, and a paltry 5.21 for the year. And no rain in sight any time soon
  3. Cloudy and 78, nice for sitting out. Cumberland sporting 88 now - too much!
  4. It's funny seeing Cumberland with the highest temp in the state at 84. Overcast and 72 here
  5. 6-10 day at 8-14 day forecasts look good on temps! Hoping we are done with frost/freeze so I can get stuff in the ground. Very dry of course - I expect to have to water all summer. I'll just water the flower beds and let the grass go
  6. Wow much nicer than I thought today! Partly sunny and 70. Bonus if we can score a thunderstorm this evening
  7. Wow! That's just 0.5 less than I have had since JAN 1 0.53 since April 1 and had less than 0.9 for March
  8. 0.30. Even my forecast of 0.5 earlier in the week was too high. My formula: take the lowest amount of the range in the official forecast and cut in half I am looking at another month of below an inch total (March was just 0.85). Oh but we excel at thick overcast, chilly and wind for days. Wife retires soon and I cannot WAIT to get out of this disgusting climate
  9. Looking at radar in central VA -- pivot?
  10. The really sucky part is we still endure days on end of depressing cloudy skies and chilly temps. No rain but no sun either. What an awful spring climate
  11. FIFY Hoping the rain shield expands NW later today. I predicted 0.5 a couple days ago when the goofy models were saying 1.5 plus for my area. I'd be happy with 0.5 at this point!
  12. My parents in Calvert have 11 inches precip on the year compared to 4.9 in Germantown. Their plants are happy while I'm having to water even established shrubs. Going to be a long, drought-stricken summer with expensive water bills with all the sprinkling
  13. Nice afternoon once we got to the low 50s. My hydrangeas had started leafing out and those new leaves are dead. Even my tough butterfly bushes look a little rough
  14. GFS has the right idea with the precip hole over central MD
  15. 28 near Germantown but 21 at Gaithersburg airport. It's an outlier but that airport is in a hole and can get way down there with no wind and radiational cooling. Reminds me of Tallahassee in winter where it would be 40 in town and 23 at the airport in a hole 8 miles away
  16. Got 0.25. Total for year is 4.79 while parents in northern Calvert at 10.43. They also blew my area out in snowfall total with 20-plus compared to 10
  17. Why does that sound so familiar LOL! Guess we turn towards the next drizzle fest later this week
  18. Sorry but LOL at that map with 1.35 over me. More like 0.135
  19. Our Home Depot yesterday already had a huge shipment of summer annuals and people were buying them left and right. They better not put them in the ground this weekend! Cloudy and 60
  20. Some rolling thunder and very light rain
  21. Missed most of the rain but got some nice rolling thunder for a while
  22. If only we got half of what those two precip maps showed
  23. I didn't need this dampness with house windows being replaced today, but missed any real rain thankfully! Hope thy finish before any showers later
  24. This is a wild first paragraph of the forecast discussion from Paducah, KY: Unfortunately, this is no April`s Fools joke. More potentially significant severe weather is expected Wednesday afternoon and evening, and an epic heavy rainfall and flash flooding event is expected Wednesday through the weekend.
