I concur.

Your link has me about 0.66”. Local PWS says 0.51” (usually underestimates in windy conditions) and my plastic rain gauge says ~1”. Either way, I want more.

Mas lluvia por favor 

Holy crap this storm in Greenbelt is like a whiteout.

eta…pea sized hail

^those jip zones doe.

Watching storms form JUST to my east and north has already been really annoying today

Storms kinda pulsed past me tonight. Ready for my drought buster tomorrow.

I’m mentally preparing myself for tons of frozen/let it go related Dad jokes.

Do I have to be the one to call attention to late next week on the GFS and GGEM?

18z NAM 3k highlights the heavy rain risk for late Thursday well. Big cells could put down 1-3” alone in some spots.

I remember back in the 80's when I was a kid the sky was white with smog and haze on hot humid days. Seems like even on the hottest days now the sky is still really blue. I remember not even being able to see cumulus clouds building. 

Hot and humid under blue sky.

We were talking about the exact same thing yesterday!  We were on the deck and saw a Southwest Airlines plane with its distinctive colors way up there and said what ever happened to the old "hazy hot and humid?"  Like you said back in the 70s and 80s the sky was milky looking and even the damn air was bright from haze.  These days we have really clear air with the heat.  It's nice.

Environmental protection and pollution reduction can work.

Does the Euro have anything for the Caribbean system this weekend?  Flying to St. Thomas Saturday and seeing the GFS with something the day we fly in has me a smidge nervous.

Washes it out 

EJ lost 4” of rain off the euro.

There should be plenty of water for the weeds after the lawns all fry over the next few days.

Euro took a small step toward a slower more cutoff solution. Digs more at 500 and pops a surface low near NYC. 

12z gfs and GGEM not backing down.

Looks like it took a step towards the GFS with more of a cut off h5 look. That's all I can glean from TT. More rain next weekend?

PWAT party at your house 

Happy birthday Mappy!

EPS and GEFS suggest the front will clear in time for a nice weekend, esp Sunday. No guarantee though, given the setup. GFS and CMC op runs both dig the h5 energy further west and close it off, then bring it east later, so we stay on the active side with rain chances into next weekend. Euro op doesn't dig it as much or as far west and the dry/cooler air gets here quicker.

 

12z euro goes more stall

I missed this because we're in Pittsburgh right now...

i went to a ravens-eagles game years ago and the pre-teen kid in back of me was literally cursing me out for wearing an eagles t-shirt while his dad laughed and egged him on

 

it was a preseason game

I was definitely wary beforehand and I was going to wait a couple years before taking him. My in laws bought us the tickets as an early Christmas gift. But we didn’t tailgate and went into the stadium early. He got a cool first game pin and certificate, we got lunch at shake shack, and then walked around. He had a great time. The game was good but we were frozen and soaked by halftime and he wanted to leave. Still probably will wait until he’s closer to 14-15 before going back. 

My son and I went to a ravens game in December 2019. I was definitely worried about the environment, but it was fine and positive for the fan experience. That may be because it was 35F and pouring rain though…

It’s been crazy nice. We’re close to the Fourth of July and talking multiple lows around 50 area wide over two weeks. No need to gnash teeth and beat breasts.

Drought concerns… 

51! Lots of 40s throughout the region. Soak this in before next week.
