    Got caught in that heavy shower earlier right near ICC / I-270. It was heavy enough that everyone had the hazards on and were going 20 mph. Family was saying "we're getting some good rain!" and I'm like uh wait 'til we get home. Well Germandesert dodged it again with barely enough to wet the ground and not measureable in the gauge. The Drought of 2023 lives on

    Our neighbors gave us some tomatoes from their garden and they are about the best we've ever had! We were wondering if it was the dry summer and now we know!

    That's why I was so bummed to get zero rain from this past Sunday-Tuesday. I have not received a trace of rain since August 7 and there's nothing in sight!

    Very nice morning out with upper 60s and calm. TC Hilary means business for the southern CA desert with widespread 5-7 inch amounts with lollies of 7-10

    Now my zone has a FF watch and a severe TS watch in effect. Hilarious Edit: just walked around the yard a bit and it is hard as rock. I need to give up some of the plants I like next year and go with more drought tolerant stuff. Blazing sun and 88

    LOL not again. If I had a buck every time I'm under a FF watch I could put it towards all the watering I'm doing

    I've never seen a rainfall disparity as extreme as this year. The same places get it over and over while others are dry as a bone. Some spots got more rain in an hour yesterday than you two got in the last two months. The drought is a little less severe here than your locations but I got nothing out of yesterday/last night from the high chance and heavy rain wording, again. Now there is no chance for any rain for a very long time to come

    Hardly anything here and now tonight is looking dry. Oh well sprinklers running tomorrow morning on schedule

    Wishing today was my in-office day in DC so I could see this. Another split for good ol' Germandesert

    I remember the strong Nino in fall 2015 -- we turned on the damn AC at Christmas because it was so warm and humid and were talking about how it won't snow a flake in the upcoming winter. But then we got destroyed

    It's tough being in an orographic rain shadow! You need a post-tropical system moving up from the gulf with NW-ward moving training bands. Might be tough to get one of those with a building Nino in place.

    Surprised to see these pop ups this afternoon. Hoping for good rain tomorrow I was oggling the 110-117 degree heat index readings in south FL and found this (bad reading but wild to look at). Beach day?
  13. BlizzardNole
    0.7 from this round to go with the 1.0 from last night. If we can can round it off to 2.0 with the second round of showers it will be a great 24 hours!
  14. BlizzardNole
    Really hoping for that one as I want more rain out of this. Lightning is delivering though!
  15. BlizzardNole
    Nice heavy downpour for a few minutes and some good lightning but no wind. Already winding down. I hope we get a second round from the stuff developing in eastern WV
  16. BlizzardNole
    That whole initial line skipped me -- hoping for the one moving NE thru Poolesville. SW to NE works for me -- lots of lightning in that one
  17. BlizzardNole
    Off-topic but what a nice looking property! That line is really starting to congeal together now as it moves east
  18. BlizzardNole
    I am hoping for a couple rounds of good thunderstorms with heavy rain and lots of lightning, bonus if second round is at night. But I don't want damaging severe. I've experienced baseball size hail twice (1978 and 1992) and I don't ever want to see that again
  19. BlizzardNole
    0.9 from the showers tonight and even better that was spread over several hours instead of all at once. Perfect! Hope some dry places really cash in tomorrow
  20. BlizzardNole
    Got about 0.2. Hoping for more later
  21. BlizzardNole
    Yes nice little shower moving thru. Hoping to get a lot of that tonight Nice band moving into the DC area
  22. BlizzardNole
    Hoping to luck into some decent rains overnight as I don't trust tomorrow for my area. We don't do well in W-to-E moving thunderstorms
  23. BlizzardNole
    I went on a nice walk just a while ago with the cool temps and cloud cover and had no idea about showers moving in. A decently heavy one is passing through right now -- I came pretty close to getting drenched!
  24. BlizzardNole
    Just took a nice long walk at mid-day on August 1 at just 79 degrees. That's superb! Glad the smoke is not a ground level. DCA has only three 95-degree days so far (all last week). The closest station to me (3 SSW Damascus) has none and only four 90-degree days.
  25. BlizzardNole
    0.9 combined from yesterday and Friday with 4.4 total for July. That's decent but May and June were incredibly dry and we are still about 10" below for the year. It is a glorious 66 degrees right now and I'm gonna enjoy these next few cool mornings!
