Thanks for acknowledging. We have not had 5" of rain for May, June and July combined. Meanwhile in Marysville

I was just walking around the yard and about 2/3 of the yard is dormant and brown/not growing. Not dead though so not really upset....after 2020 this is all a piece of cake.

A good comment in a mid-July AFD (large wording.) After a mostly cloudy and cooler day Monday with lingering scattered showers, high pressure at the surface and aloft will return for Tuesday with mostly sunny skies, slightly below normal high temperatures and comfortable humidity.

Seems we would need about 5-7" of rain in a 12 hour period here to flood our closest creek which is at its lowest point since the Much Worse than this Drought of 2020. It is 2 3/4 feet down from its high point of the last year in Jan. Minor flood stage is 6.5 feet but serious flood stage is a whopping 7.5 feet up at 10 feet.

18Z continues to wind down the prospect of heavy rain chances for Sunday. The GFS has cut it back more than 50% and as most know, the GFS qpf maps are a smoothed depiction that does not account for the convective nature of the precip so this is a winners and losers look. Here is the total rain through Tue from the GFS (not counting this evening).

That is more than I have had in the last 25 days combined. Count your lucky stars.

I think it was your earlier post about being sunny.

MDT is at or within a degree of 90. Will be a nice win for you over Joe Calhoun. Possible they are at 89 right now so may need one more degree.

Sunday not looking like an area wide slam dunk anymore on 12Z's. More lottery like. Would have to compare previous runs to see if the wave of energy is different.

Really take off south of the M/D Line.

That is quite the fast ramp up for that broken line.

Britany Spears got the biggest smackdown of all by Wemby's staff. It was like King Jaffe Joffer walking into a restaurant. Next he will need rose petals by his feet as he walks.

JNS will need to let you know how many inches you will be getting this weekend.

Mow 9 done here. Will need rain this weekend to go to double digits next week. 20 is becoming unlikely at this point.

Missing those cells out west of me? They are really small.

He said no for both. Not saying I agree but he went out of his way to say no heat wave. Not sure why. He suggested tomorrow will be much more cloudy and rainy

Joe Calhoun says the 90's are done for a long while (MDT)

How much for Philly?

Early bird nooners...mostly cloudy and 81. MDT banging an 88. Spotty showers forming through the LSV.

New Drought map. Quite similar....most people in D2 stayed there and some people avoided it with weekend rains. Northeast Drought Summary Heavy rains fell in parts of the Northeast this week, bringing continued relief to areas of drought and abnormal dryness (particularly along the Atlantic coast from Philadelphia up through New York and through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine) and improving streamflows and alleviating some of the short-term precipitation deficits. The North Atlantic coast saw abnormal dryness completely removed from Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, except for the Cape Cod area, which still remains in abnormally dry condition. Conditions also improved in parts of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia due to scattered heavy rains in the last week. Severe drought in central Maryland and southeast Pennsylvania remains from last week. Full Summary

90 degree or higher days as of EOD July 6th @ MDT. Stopped at 2015 as that was the last year, we had the lack of heat similar to this year. 2023-4 (Assuming they reach it today, could be 3) 2022-8 2021-14 2020-8 2019-8 2018-10 2017-8 2016-7 2015-3
