Was down picking the older Ms J. up at Dulles but watching the weather. Saw a storm headed right for our house in Frederick. Just got home and checked the gauge. Picked up 1.16” out of just that one cell.
Eating lunch out on the deck. Temp wise not bad, 82 as I am still in shade on the backside facing West. Humidity though is thick 69 percent. Going to water my deck plants so when the sun does come over they are not shocked.
When Mr. J and I first moved to LA back in ’99 we were introduced to June gloom. Was quite the experience for us after hearing from our friends it was always sunny.
Have a nice cell that started just to my immediate SW. Had some lightning with it at first now just heavy rains right over me.
ETA getting some nice fireworks again.
Some of those showers were downpours. We went downtown to the Arts Festival. Even with umbrellas and rain jackets had to hang in a few of the tents till it let up.
Decent amount of rain pushing through. Starting to get brighter as we get to the backside. Was actually surprised it did not get torn up by the mountains.
The ground has remained damp from the .03” that came overnight. Had some farm sitting to take care of this morning then came home and planted some flowers. Going to head downtown for the Arts Festival but feels like it will be a sticky afternoon.
0.15” from this morning. Dropped the oldest Ms. J off at Dulles for a trip up to Maine. She said it was quite a bumpy takeoff. Just made dinner and stepped out on the deck to see if we were eating out or in. Promptly decided to eat inside tonight.
My Weather Network app has it. But like others have said RadarScope does not show it unless you go into the current watches issued. Radar Omega is showing it though.
I just looked into the manual.
Increments of Rain Definitions
Rain rate or hourly rain; Rain event; Daily rain; Weekly rain; Monthly rain; Total rain
Total rain is defined as the running total since station was powered up. So looks like at the start of every year you need to to reset the total rain amount to get a yearly reading. So will have to wait to do that. I never knew it was there to be honest.
Mr. J texted me that sirens were going off in Bowling Green KY. Him and his dad went into the bathroom in their hotel. There was a confirmed tornado on the ground to their SW and it continued to stay to the south. They are all safe now.
