87storms

Another soaker here. Helluva pattern change the last couple months from the Great Plains pattern we were in the last 2 years.

This is truly a 180 summer from the last 2 years. Classic, mid-Atlantic swamp stuff.

Tropical rainforest level downpour.

I’m at the top of the Watershed. Drove up here after some hoops. About to get rocked.

Are the Orioles en route to one of the great comebacks in mlb history?

Hints of sun here. I’m hyped.

Steroidal marine layer in progress. Good day to reset.

Grade A heat wave with vitamin loaded humidity levels appears to be on its last leg. I still got my outdoor activities in, but definitely in smaller doses. Today felt spicy in the sun…no storms around here, though I have seen some “heat lightning”.

That would probably be me lol. It's been spicy the last couple days, but I still prefer this over 45 and cloudy (in doses). But yea, this is at minimum a Tier 2 heat wave...the humidity has seemingly included every nearby body of water.

I did some of the math for fun. Not including all the extraneous variables and keeping it simple (assuming independence, etc.), the odds of the Astros getting a no hitter through 7 innings alone (which is I think what happened) is the product of the probabilities of each of their pitchers involved getting an out raised to the number of outs each of them pitched. Looks like there were 6 Astros pitchers involved since the 3rd inning and 21 outs, so searching their career IP and H stats (which obviously includes stats from that game to now) the probability that they would combine to get a no hitter through 7 innings would be roughly 0.2%. Or something like that.

This might drop an inch of rain in spots.

One of the cooler looking storms I’ve seen here. You guys further east might enjoy this line.

Got a decent looking shelf cloud rolling in here

The legendary precip comeback continues with another round incoming. I don't think I've seen a patch of brown on any grass around this area since May.

Thought I had a bunch of ticks on my car yesterday after parking at Gambrill, but I think they're actually Weevils. I didn't know that was even a thing. This is gonna be one of those summers where the bugs are out and having a good ol' time.

Chunky raindrops ongoing in what is now approximately the 4th round of showers/storms here since yesterday.

That storm around 2am was in a different tier. Angry, growling thunder and lightning. Definitely one of the more electrical storms I've seen since moving to Frederick. We really don't need any more rain right now in this area and, frankly, I need my trails back so I can shed a few lbs lol. Looks like even more activity rolling in. Just got a shoot around session in and it is indeed a supreme level of humidity outside.

lol it’s an absolute fireworks display rn

Nearby rain gauges are over 0.5” here, but I think I just missed the lightning core. The peaks and valleys really do adjust systems on approach here. Can never really tell what kind of storm we’re getting until gametime.

Nothing severe here, but the creeks will definitely be higher tomorrow morning. Healthy nighttime storm.

Eerily calm here with only a light breeze and thunder now rumbling over the Catoctins.

Yep, starting to see lightning in the distance.

This one looks legit on lightning radar, too. It’s on a beeline for mby.

Feels tropical outside and I’m interested in that line of activity moving towards Hagerstown, though it’s got a bumpy road ahead before it makes it to Frederick.

This is “bring two shirts to the bball court” weather.
