Well, the clouds sure looked cool rolling in, but the line really fizzled here and was a dissapointment, not even much rain.

Yes, that is correct. But, the latest radar look seems to indicate the line is fading a bit. Still should get some rain though.

The storm cluster moving SE into the Northern Chessy Bay look to be getting stronger. Forming a line at this time at the leading edge. Boaters beware !

88/76 here, heat index at 99..... I will not even go to the garden without Deepwoods , did last night and paid the price, blood suckers...

I might look into that as well, thanks.

Thanks, that is a great point ! I read crab grass sends out some sort of phenol that makes the grass around it not grow as much, but so far crab grass is under control here, with the pre-emergent I but down. Seems my biggest issue this year with the lawn will once again be lawn fungus because of this dew point at night deal. Will reseed in the Fall. but all in all I am happy so far to still have green grass on July 6 th.

Many cucumbers this morning in the garden, wow, I guess the rain maybe, birds after tomatoes though, so I purchased a bird netting because the ribbons and aluminum squares flying in the breeze is not really working at keeping all the various birds away. Its always something ! Yum, your sald sounds great ! My wifes fav are the cherry tomatoes !!! She told me if the birds eat them I am in the dog house . LOL ( more like sweat house ) !

Some folks scalp the grass when they cut it , and wonder why it browns and causes stress on the lawn. I always cut on the highest settings.

Storm pivoted to the NW, currently huge thunder and very heavy rains. Might break an inch here and lucky to do so based on the track.

Some heavy storms drifting slowly North right along the Maryland -Delaware state line. Sky currently darkening towards my South.

So incredible to see unfold.....and a great time lapse !!

Pretty cool to see on the graph/stations how they travel in all directions :

And bone dry here as well in the North . The boundary too far West. Although the forecast earlier in the day did have likely odds of some rain, I believe 60 %. Eh...such is life. As you know just West of SW Delaware they got it some good rain in spots . Today Delaware was right on the State line with accumulated precip , LOL Oh @C.A.P.E. the Nimble Giant looks very yummy...... :-)

At least maybe get some better swells down the road, it has been rather lame wave-wise along the lower Southern NJ coastline . Early next week has some potential possibly. But on a positive note, ocean temps near the surf zone have warmed the last few days.

Cool .........

Same here, eggplants finally getting bigger with a few flowers. All in all, so far, so good.

OMG, got nailed again with even larger hail more than 1 inch. Incredible. I am tired now all this weather watching , need a beer or two or three

Yet another STW for me. Wonder if that line weakens before it gets here. The most robust part of the line seems to be North of me, with what looks like a bowing out across extreme Northern Delaware. Guessing the highest winds up there.

Well ,that was worth the warning, winds to about 40 maybe 45 , blinding rain in sheets, hail about .75 I think. Over 1.25 inches of rain in less than 35 minutes No tree damage, so thats good but not sure about the garden and the hail , I hope its Ok will look a bit later.

Well lets see how the trees and garden makes out. I rather not do high winds anymore, surprised this is tracking this way after the downpour already and the air temp is way down.

Right now some sort of boundary setting up on the Eastern Shore ( storms developing along it ) to my West and Northwest far displaced from the line moving Se from PA. A lot of thunder here now. I too saw that anvil you mentioned. Very impressive too watch

That storm, which is to my WSW , not too far really, is dropping incredible rainfall based on the radar loop .

Seems severe hail today is a moderate risk. On the link here https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0461.html Do you know the difference in the table under risks ? The SPC mentions a moderate risk for severe hail, and a low risk for 2 inch plus hail. What defines severe hail ?

Storms on the move SE already from NW and Central PA.
