.78” in the bucket so far

Well in the long range thread they are talking about how it’s going to be another South and East winter given the ‘seasonal’ trend of the rain tomorrow and Wednesday….so there is that. Getting my snow shovel ready! Sorry about the leaky pipe!

Shocked to find .68” in the bucket this morning after barely missing all the boomers yesterday. Also nice to go from 95.5 yesterday to 61 this am!

Last October I had 32 minutes of rain which measured a whopping .06” of rain, by far the driest month I have ever recorded since 2020. This May by contrast, 2533 (most in terms of time since 2020) minutes of rain for 7.06” of rain. This August was similar to last October, second least minutes of rain with 112 minutes for .88”. That 112 minutes was pure luck, cashed in on small storms on two separate days in early August. Similarities for sure between October last year and august this year….my grass looks almost the same…a little less dead I guess this year, but still pretty dead!

0 for the last few days in the rain department. Today is halfway pleasant, lots of outflow boundaries keeping the air moving with towers blowing up around, but periods of blue sky and sun. Current temp 85.

Nice wet downburst, nothing too severe, power still on. Most importantly temp down to 80 after a high of 99.9!

Temp 99 Dew 79=117HI… Gross. Only 17 days until I go to Montana…can’t come soon enough!

The smell of a thunder storm after it being 100 is amazing! Temp dropped from 98 to 80 in 5 minutes!

Hit 100 again, 3rd day in a row. Watching towers to my north and northwest have me salivating! Pool, grass everything could use a shower. Pool temp is 91!

102.4 now…at 6pm

101 for a high at 3:30…2nd day of 101..

Just hit 100…HI 113. I am good now, this can end

H2O needs to make sure the H2O’s have the right number of H’s and O’s…getting chilly now, only 94!

B meet misery… ! The pool beckons you to jump in yet you can’t be that guy….I guess you could accidentally fall in…101 here for the high.

96…107 HI. A mere appetizer for the rest of the week

1.62” since about 5pm today, still going at a moderate clip.

Mapquest? And I was going to Ask Jeeves where Pusey Crossroads was?

.5” of rain in 30 minutes. At swim time trails of course! I have a feeling it’s gonna be an uncooperative summer for swim teams in the area.

1.62 last 24 hours, 1.3 came in about 30 minutes yesterday. Fun facts from the my weather station. May 2025 had 2526 minutes of rain, or roughly 42 hours with 7.02” October 2024 had 32 minutes of rain with .06” of rain.

Tornado warned! Torrential rain, wouldn’t be surprised for flash flood warnings too soon

Very dark to my south west…constant rumbling…

Quick shower, temp dropped from 83 to 75. Sun trying to poke out again. Hard pass on severe after two weeks ago here.

Video from last Fridays storm, GW parkway Southbound, driver gets off on Morningside. Intense! This is just north of where the fatality was on the parkway.

26 hours of no power. Maybe tomorrow at noon is the latest estimate. I think that is doubtful, basically have to rebuild new lines and poles for about 2 miles of infrastructure along fort hunt road.

No power since 6pm, many trees down in the area, 2 dead after trees fell on them, one on GW parkway, unclear where the other fatality was near on route one. Terrible day.
