We're really starting to see some impressive microclimates emerge. Thurmont dipped to 34 degrees, but just to the northeast Harney at its lower elevation decoupled to 26 degrees.

Looking at my morning data my low was 27.3 at 5:54 am

Hello Mr. Bluesky. Light winds still but the sun is shining bright.

They need another warning for exceptionally gusty showers. No thunder = not a thunderstorm 

Ok I went and looked  should be a line wind warning only. 

I saw the warning come up. But am refraining from looking at radar.

You’re gonna pass an inch with this line. We do upflow well here. Hopefully this type of system can transilate to winter which is prob the main way we get 6-10” events.

You were not joking! Just hit and wind driven pouring rain. 1.06 currently. 

0.84 and had one flash of lightning and thunder. It’s the little things 

Just got our first freeze warning for this fall. 

Well while Mother Nature did not provide, Pandora did. Fell asleep to my Thunderstorm rain station last night. Props to those who got some rain and thunder. 

I saw one flash to my SE does that count as a Thunderstorm for me

Proud new owner of an Ambient station! Measured .35 overnight.

I have an Ambient. You got it set up to report online?

.50 between last night and early this morning. Takes me to just under an inch for the month of October. 

Year total of 33.21"

Up at the 5 Star in Cecil County. It definitely feels like deep autumn. 

My daughter who rides is home on her fall break. Told her next year if it is during her fall break we will take a drive over to watch. Nice that MPT was/is showing it live on their broadcast. 

I have both my college kids home unexpectedly this weekend. Putting a new perspective on Mother Nature. We get thrown curve balls in weather much like we do in life. 

Looks and feels like a White Chicken Chili kind of night. 

0.16”here. 

Hoping today is the last day of August in October. I have planned a lot of soups in for the next week. So either it will have to start cooling down or I will have to crank my AC and eat them. The cats are wanting their heated donut beds on also. 

Was taking one of our cats to the vet early this morning. The fog was so thick that I could not see my kids former HS driving until I was right in front of it. Thick as pea soup as they would say. 

Out at Rehoboth Beach for a few days. Was warm yesterday. It is absolutely jungle like today. Glad we did most of our walking yesterday. Although the 4 mile bike ride this morning after breakfast left us dripping in sweat.

I'll be in Calvert Wed thru Sat staying with my dad and looking after pets while rest of family is out west for a wedding....including my nephew's SEVENTEEN chickens.  It's easy when it's dry, but they told me it's a huge mess when it rains.  Uh, I'm thinking I'm in trouble?   Time to look for some mudder boots.

QPF forecast looks juicy!

In my experience watching a friend’s chickens, they are never easy. Tiny Velociraptors running around. 
 

Mr. J and I are trial running the new EV out to Rehoboth Beach for a small vacation this week. The weather looks to be a bit better than over here cloud wise. Plan on doing a lot of exploring.

I ended up with a total of 3.45". According to radar estimates, the jack zone was just to the northeast of me, north of 340 and west of Frederick. Anyone have a rain gauge in this zone?

I have my station reporting on the PWS site. Here is a map of all the stations on there. Not sure if there was one in the area you were referencing. I am to the South of 340 west of 270. I got 2.89”.

3.28” for the event.

2.88” for the day. Tack on the .27” from last night and that was a solid rain that was needed.

At this point, it’s basically a funnel from the Atlantic to Frederick.

2.14” as of now. 

Looking at radar things seem to be winding down. With what I got last night and then today I am sitting at about 1.50”. Honestly I am surprised. I really felt that this would stay South. But it was so needed.

This band is cookin” right now

Just went over an inch here. I am really surprised. With the .27 I got before the reset at midnight this is a pretty good system. Just got some thunder. 

.09” as of now.
