Completely clouded in to make absolutely sure no storms form here again today.

It's truly remarkable. Exemplified by yesterday evening's storms, it's a completely different world just a mile or 2 to my east and southeast. Storms hit - and miss - the same spots over and over again. My grass was burned up by the end of May. Neighbors' gardens fried. They eventually just gave up, as have I, trying to water. It's hopeless. My pumpkins were mostly duds thanks to the lack of rain and my corn never made it. I only continue to water the maples I planted last year and the landscaping I've added since. Too much invested there to lose.

Lol. Storm formed literally 200 yards east of my house. Then slid SE and formed a nice cell getting ready to pound Winchester again.. Weather station 1/2 mile away has .17". Not a drop here.

4.4" of rain since May 3. 96 days.

It's better than continuing to suffocate in dust as DC and subs get another 3" of rain.

I was far more anxious driving to the Alpine visitor center in RMNP. That stretch of Trail Ridge Rd left me a bit sweaty.

Did that 2 years ago. It was a bit unnerving in a couple stretches. No way I could be a passenger.

It's great if the most interesting weather to you is the passage of dry, windy cold fronts and gale- force winds under bright, sunny skies. Actually, its decent in winter in keeping snow. But, it is dry, dry, and dry during the summer. Absolute dearth of t - storms out here.

Welcome to the party, pal.

Wait a minute, I thought this was a cool summer??

Lol. Another day, another goose egg.

Doesn't matter for us out here. Each is another screw job.

No, it actually fell from the sky. Counted 6 or 7 drops on the top of my head. Tied for the 4th biggest event of the summer.

Felt a couple sprinkles earlier while I was outside watering the garden.

The models show another goose egg out here, so you can bet they're dead- on.

I dont ever recall disparity to this degree. Where areas in the region have had feet of rain in a single month and some areas almost none.

And the next batch coming through WVA heading to the south too. That's a wrap. 0.00" on the day. Again.

I feel your pain. It's the same script every time.

Sprinkles. Not even drizzle. Decent cells passing just to my south as per usual. Now to watch the strengthening as it heads east.

Thanks for that. Looks very bleak for us out here then.

So, is the development supposed to occur after the passage of the remnant line of the MCS now just to the west? Because that line looks like a weak POS. As usual, the thinnest, weakest, and most disjointed part of the line is aimed right at me.

Then they need to extend that area over my yard.

I'd give a kidney for 5" in a month. I dont have 5" since May 3rd.

Got another shower last night. Dropped another .06", while PWS 1/2 mile away got .28". I cant wait to see how I fail again today. I miss Stephens City.

Got excited by radar that showed a small, but red/ orange cell that bullseyed my house around 5 pm. Got home at 7 to find literally no trace and .05" in the bucket. I swear to Christ this place....
