I think I saw my lawn grow an actual inch yesterday. I don't want to be mowing on Halloween, what the heck.

Thurmont, because of the downsloping off the Catoctins, stayed elevated from midnight onwards. Lowest temperature since midnight last night is 75F

lol commanders

Temperatures can stay the same though. Dry and 70 please.

Went to the Maryland football game today. It's time to fire Locksley. His "give me one more year to rebuild" has failed. Though Maryland was stupid in negotiating his contract and his buyout is nearly $10m. Can't afford to keep him, can't afford to fire him.

The band that rotated down started during half-time. After UCLA scored 2 touchdowns in top of the 3rd quarter, the whole stadium emptied out. Those that were sadistic enough to stay took up the seats underneath the overhangs. I stayed until 3rd quarter 10 min when the lead went to 30+ by UCLA.

I got what is hopefully my last (or 2nd to last) mow of the year in this evening. Best one of the year in terms of pleasantness.

I would say the three stations that people have mentioned here are the best "enthusiast" stations. If you want"Pro" then it's hard to beat the Davis Vantage Pro 2 with Aspirated Shield, but most people aren't looking to drop $1500 on a weather station. I would add to the conversation that the place you plan on putting the station also factors in which one you want. Have a small space or trees overhead? Go with the tempest or WS-5000, you won't have wind or rain anyway. Have more room and have a good catchment area for rain? Definitely go with a full tipping bucket rather than an acoustic. I will say that if you don't like the Davis Vue (understandable) then going with the Ambient but customizing it so that you get the 5000 series console. The 5000 series console allows additional sensors such as soil moisture and air quality if you want it.

The Oceans Calling music festival is this weekend in Ocean City. They just canceled the first day. Gonna be a huge economic hit if it all get canceled.

@nw baltimore wx Hi, it's fixed. It was a SSL/Certificate issue that affected some users. This light rain is great drought buster. It's soaking into the soils very gently.

Canaan Sinks was 36F, dew point prevented it from going down further (ie. Dense fog) there this morning.

I got 0.02"

Dew Point falling, spirits rising.

Kind of evolving into a slow moving MCV. A decently strong but also broad mesocyclone aloft.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...

She was under the worst core. Practically ground zero for rain/hail. Have her send a video so you can post it here later and we all be jealous of her.

Is there an estimated size and can I forward this onto NWS?

FFW-C out for Martinsburg. Weak supercell is just stalled over the SW side of the city.

Martinsburg is getting slammed with rain/hail mix. FFW out.

That's an all-timer from the NAM3K

It's located on the running trail that goes behind the baseball fields. Feel free to stop by.

You're gonna be surrounded shortly. The county is also pushing for one in the Urbana area.

The soil temperatures in the top ~12" will vary based on the coverage and thickness of the vegetation currently present. For our stations we aim for a natural ground cover or "meadow like". If your ground is mowed short, or especially if it is bare, it will fluctuate more than our stations indicate. Soil moisture will also vary based on your exact soil makeup. But as long as it isn't straight clay or sand, it should be proportional.

There likely isn't anything in there that you haven't learned in the 20 years of being here

That video and some pictures from a warehouse definitely is some high end EF1 / low end EF2 type stuff.
