Mrs.J

Flood watch canceled for over here. Getting some setting sun through the clouds. Got .21” today and .28” yesterday. Had some nice rumbles of thunder for a bit. I am fine with not a huge deluge as we had those issues back in May.

While the older Ms. J is not down on Campus she still got an email about the tornado warning. Saying it was located over Howard U.

You think that line that is building back near Winchester will hold into here? I was trying to understand why we were under the Severe T Storm watch and Flash Flooding watch. Am guessing for the potential for the second round up here?

Light rain and thunder up here. Have 0.05” in the weather station.

.28” out of that warned storm this afternoon.

Direct center of the severe storm coming in here. Huge lightning strike just sent the cats running!

Have a small patch of grass between the sidewalk and street. It had a number of dry bald spots from over the years that I had tried to do patch seed on with no success. So this past spring with the help of my FIL we dug up the strip hauled out a lot of clay and put some proper soil in. Rolled down 2 strips of sod and kept it watered. May was wonderful for it. But it has a new dead dry patch in it again. With all this humidity would be nice to get something out of it but we seem to be back to the no substantial rain July season over here.

Midnight and the heat index is 83.

Holy crap’olies looking at my PWS and while only 81 out the humidity is 84% with a dew point of 75.7

Back to having the feeling like rain is imminent only to have nothing to show for it.

Weird feel this morning. Sun is out but it feels like it is not. Caught what I believe is a remnant feeder band this morning on the way to the older Ms J’s pet drop in.

First morning back on the deck for breakfast. A bit muggy but I will take the cooler temps, and in the shade on the backside of the house. Mr. J and I opted out of any fireworks last night. With both kids working pet sitting jobs we just stayed in. Good thing found out that one of our cats was not very happy with the “in" neighborhood mini display going off.

Lovely day for a ride, or 2. Just as much as people are enjoying the nicer temps so are the horses. Have the younger Ms J down to exercise some ponies while hers is still on rest from an injury.

0.01” overnight. For the event .50”. I will take it after not having any measurable rain fall since June 28th.

Just got news that the college the youngest Ms. J attends got hit last night by a really bad storm. Her campus is known for its beautiful landscape and to see all the big old trees downed is so sad. No damage to any buildings and no injuries. Other people in Carlisle are showing damage that they got as well. Flooding as well around town. Dickinson Storm Damage 06/30/25

Just got back from DC. Oldest Ms. J was checking out her new apartment. We headed to IKEA and then looked at radar. Told her we needed to not linger. Got to 270 and saw the line coming in and ditched to 28. Made a good decision to do that as 270 got slammed. At home got 0.37”. Hoping for a bit more but will take what I can get.

Mr. J asked me what it got down to overnight. I told him just wait I can look at my station records. It got down to 75 at 5:24am. I agree with @H2O about getting some rain today would be nice.

10:30 with a temp of 86 and a Heat Index of 97. Am seeing lightning all around but even with all this soup have not been able to squeeze an inch of rain out.

My station page is showing my last rain even was 2 days ago. Mind you that was only 0.04. I have had to get into the mode of watering my gardens every other day after such a wet May early June.

Getting occasional flashes of lightning to my East. Not really seeing much on radar.

So nice to not be up at the crack of dawn for my youngest to ride. She is currently rehabbing her pony as a nice light rain shower is coming down here in Aldie. Birds are singing all over.

I think my PWS is broken. It is showing it is 66 out. Really though while we missed out on the rain over here I am glad for this one day of gloom and lower temps before the oven cranks back on tomorrow. I have a feeling though looking into next week that I will be out watering the gardens.

Seeing lightning all around me. But no rain yesterday or today. Went out tonight and watered my front garden beds.

Over on Furnace Mountain watching that storm to the NW blow a nice gust front as it dies.

Getting some thunder guessing off of that warned storm to my NE. I am currently sitting in the Ballenger Split zone.
