  1. Periodic showers all day so far with neighborhood gauges showing 0.5”+.
  2. It just doesn’t want to be dry in Frederick this summer. Quick hitting vitamin downpour in progress. Looks like a break than more stuff later.
  3. The clouds are too sloppy today. Need to get a return of those puffy cumulus. Maybe Sunday brings the goods.
  4. This has been an impressively consistent stretch of humidity.
  5. I get itchy bumps and found a few around my ankles the last couple days. I’m not even sure where they came from, though I was standing outside talking to people on a few occasions which is sometimes all it takes. That said, there’s been worse seasons imo. Totally opposite of the Vegas area where you can leave doors open and hardly get any bugs flying in.
  6. Hershey has some legit rides and the water park was pretty fun. Went a couple summers ago. Also won a HP basketball playing basketball…because that’s what I do.
  7. Glad I biked during lunch. The late afternoon timeframe looks spicy.
  8. This is my favorite type of summer pattern…probably by far. Not terribly hot…but Florida-like in its personality with chances of storms a few days a week. Judging by radar, we might have to accept yet another round of showers/storms. Mosquitoes appear to be around as well.
  9. Today’s weather was primo imo, from a summer perspective. Also, 3 day weekends need to become normalized.
  10. We needed this summer.
  11. Nice southeast US type of downpour. Nothing too crazy, but enough for a rain delay of outdoor activities for a bit.
  12. Some deep thunder in the distance along with a breeze. Starting to see the rain over the Catoctins now.
  13. Another storm in Frederick was the only option.
  14. 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.
  15. This humidity is of the tropical variety.
  16. We did decent here earlier, but this is definitely an i95 event…and I’m ok with that.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. ...I'm gonna guess 0.75"+ here. 1" might be tough due to duration.
  21. We don't miss storms in Frederick anymore. It was definitely sticky humid prior to this round. I imagine 1"+ totals again.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
