Something burning nicely out west of Rockville. From downtown silver spring.

Nice paste job...

I am talking more about ratios than anything... 

I don't exaclty expect it to be "puking fatties" tomorrow but this does not concern me with "marginal temps" nor "ratios".  Only box not really checked here is the DGZ depth is relatively narrow.

Why do my kids have a 2hr delay??

Why are my kids schools closed?!

2.6" near Arundel Mills. Had to tie up the grill to the deck earlier, it was getting a a bit frisky

Made eight pints of smoked salsa yesterday. Used ~13 lbs of cored and seeded frozen tomatoes, 10 jalapenos, one head of garlic, and another ~3 lbs of fresh tomatoes from the garden. Those ingredients were supplemented by white onions and cilantro from the store along with various spices.

Second year I've done this and it turned out excellent again!

We've overplanted tomatoes and peppers once again this year and they're still prolifically producing.  On our 4th batch of salsa and I need to go pick once again.  My super-hots are finally ripening (Scorpion and Ghost chilis) so time for the hot stuff to be added in.

HRRR has barely had anything except a couple cells scraping through the northern tier for several runs in a row now. The 3k NAM continues to be much more bullish for most of the area. 

It's also completely whiffed on the current line, whereas the 3k at least has something at 16z.

Rumbly from the northern storms, ominous to the west.

Nice harvest!

And those beds look like they get a TON of sun! Is that a community garden?

Yes, our neighborhood has 16 plots in the middle of a giant field so full sun. We've had ours for the last 4 yrs.

Y’all need to post more pictures of your gardens, so those of us who suck at it (cough me cough), can enjoy your hard work. 

Came back from Vacation to some monstrous zuchini

My wife is doing the polar lunge at Sandy Point today.  I do not envy her.  

Flurries, of neighbors recycling contents

Sfc dewpoints on the HRRR are dropping into the upper 50s prior to the line.  Granted, I haven't really looked at it much today but that seems a bit excessive.

Having a violent coughing fit as soon as you take your first sip of coffee is a shit way to start the day. RIP curtains....

If the cloud motions are indicative of where the front/storms will be focused, I would definitely include DC metro in the flood watch.

You're in Columbia today?

Jessup, I need to update my locale.

Getting some filtered sun now that I wasnt expecting ahead of this line

Nothing like hunting down the chirping smoke detector only to find you have no 9-volts to cut down on the friday boredom.  

Also, it's raining.

We might be underrated the wind event here guys.

My boss and I (granted, neither of us are "forecasters" anymore) have been going back and forth as to where the wind WWA's are? seems like a ridiculous gradient and 50+ gusts are almost a slam dunk.  Doesn't look to have a rocket of a LLJ for the real high stuff but would expect advisories out <24hrs out.

HoCo crew is going to hire a hitman for the nam. That’s some snow hole.

This displeases me.
