This summer is like when we get a few good snowstorms in the winter. You feel like you got your money’s worth and are ok with the next season to start. I can’t emphasize enough how proud I am of the humidity levels and storm coverage around Frederick this summer (and that includes visiting my mom in Vegas for 2.5 weeks). On a Vegas note, there’s a legit amount of bats that fly around lights at dusk. It’s a thing, but apparently they care more about bugs than people.

This humidity is of the tropical variety.
-
We did decent here earlier, but this is definitely an i95 event…and I’m ok with that.
-
Yea I haven’t noticed any real browning of grass here. Very green summer overall, especially when compared to the tumbleweed summers we’ve had recently.
-
Light rain at the little Bennett trailhead (biked a different loop this time). Perfectly timed…started to rain right at the last stretch. Humidity is thick…the atmosphere no longer wants this area to be in a drought.
-
Really impressed with the humidity this summer. Even the NW flow patterns aren't really fending off the dews very much. Biked over at Little Bennett yesterday and it had that classic, mid-Atlantic sticky feel in the air. Trails were actually fairly dry, though...which was a little surprising given the recent rain.
-
...I'm gonna guess 0.75"+ here. 1" might be tough due to duration.
-
We don't miss storms in Frederick anymore. It was definitely sticky humid prior to this round. I imagine 1"+ totals again.
-
Nothing severe here, but now wrapping up the 2nd round of back to back storm cells which have included downpours...the 2nd round being gustier. Frederick has performed really well this summer in the rain department.
-
About as classic of a summer day as you'll get. Partly cloudy, warm (but not too hot) and humid with isolated, afternoon popup storms.
-
Nothing beats 40s, clouds, wind, and spending 5 days tracking a snowstorm where you can see the back edge of the precip or the sleet line moving north before the storm even begins.
-
Radar looks pretty good overall for central MD and east imo.
-
The grass here literally looks fake. I’m sure the water table is still on the low side, but no grass-related issues here. Getting dark here and just heard thunder. Will prob get above 1” again. Frederick needs to win like this when it’s 30 degrees lol
-
The 270 split continues to be a powerhouse storm magnet. I’ve been missing the good stuff just to my south so far, but looks like some showers are teeing up. Had a light rain shower move thru earlier that dampened things.
-
Humidity is on point, but radar out west looks more like heavy rainers than the electrical show we had Saturday…which I’m kinda craving again because it was awesome.

This is Frederick’s summer. The current humidity is getting me hyped.
-
Better humidity than I expected. I’m getting intrigued by the potential of another round of storms. Saturday was fun.
-
Why does it seem like there’s still residual wildfire smoke?
-
It looked like the War of the Worlds from my balcony. Got some vid of some of the lightning. The humidity earlier felt tropical, so I’m not surprised the sky opened up like it did.
-
I hope so. We’re due.
-
Been there…the script was flipped a couple years ago. Hopefully we all get a tropical remnant system at some point.
-
This is your first thunderstorm??
-
Two distinct storms today in Frederick (not including the one around 4am) and both were the real real. Prolific lightning in both storms with top shelf precip and healthy wind with the 2nd round. Getting some clearing now.

This next storm is bonkers. Premier event here.
-
Just had a neighborhood strike. Absolutely incredible lighting display around here with these storms. Top 10 for me.
