    looks like that's continuing so far with this system. rainfall totals in the area are meager up towards schaeffer farms/germantown (contemplating biking it today). cabin john, not so much. this is in line with what i drove through coming home last saturday evening. torrential downpours along the beltway through bethesda, and not much towards frederick.

    biked little bennett yesterday which is notorious for staying muddy in some of the low lying spots. it was damp, but not too bad. I don't think this area needs several inches of rain. maybe a good soak, but i'm good on 2-4" of rain. latest nam looks like a nothing burger for northern md, but it's also been dancing back and forth each run it seems. one thing I do know is that it's humid out...like downpour humid. side note...was in va beach last weekend and the water was swimmable. thought it wouldn't be given what "feels" like a cooler summer so far. also interesting were the salps that i thought were grains of sand, but instead were swarms of jelly-like things. kinda gross, but they don't sting. in fact, they're not even jellyfish apparently. learned something new that day.

    the core is now moving ssw of me, but those in line are going to enjoy these.

    south florida-level lighting is the best description from these cells.
  5. 87storms
    the lightning with these storms moving through means business. definitely severe from a cg perspective. most this year imby.
  6. 87storms
    these are some serious rain producers. had one come through a little while ago.

    i wouldn't have guessed it and most of the people i've talked to have reiterated the same...that this feels like a cool start to the season so far. We have had some hot days, but it feels like the base state is inconsistent, if anything. I'll just say I've enjoyed June's weather more so than the previous 6-7 months.
  8. 87storms
    agreed. I'm just glad we've moved on from 55 and windy lol. Definitely feels like we had a fall, winter, fall, late spring pattern. Pretty light on storms so far as well, for the most part. Will see if today changes that and it kicks off typical Summer.

    good, i might be able to sneak an early bike ride in. got some new tires, so if it rains i'm ready. on a side note, this continues to be one of the most bizarre weather patterns i've ever seen here. the atmosphere has absolutely no idea whether it wants to be late september, mid May, or early august. I haven't been following the indices, but I'm assuming this is some sort of a blocky pattern that cold lovers would be raving about in january/february. i'm ready for classic dmv summer to begin.

    early congrats for the 270 split.
  11. 87storms
    not much in the way of storms firing past this first round. maybe the atmosphere got tired of raining. i am intrigued by the cell moving through boonsboro though. that would be a direct hit for mby.
  12. 87storms
    the lightning showing up from that cell near leesburg is crazy. would make for an interesting bike ride on the c and o.
  13. 87storms
    frederick fringe in progress, but central moco looks outstanding. will see if the hagerstown cells make it past catoctin. otherwise, forecast is looking pretty solid so far. the focus still south and east towards dc/bmore.
  14. 87storms
    there's two types of weather we do pretty well here... 1) post-mid-latitude cyclone clouds/breezy conditions (when often times the forecast is just partly cloudy). 2) thunderstorms during or at the tail end of a stagnant, classic summer-like, swampy airmass. it's game time.
  15. 87storms
    still just partly cloudy and breezy up here, especially when that outflow moved through. winds have settled a bit since then. yesterday was definitely more of a classic way to get storms with that soupy/stagnant airmass.
  16. 87storms
    the it's too windy before the storm arrives rule is in full effect up here. didn't even have to look at the radar.
  17. 87storms
    rain has come in two waves here (2nd one in progress). not a lot of thunder, but there's some. gust front brought some breezy conditions before the rain arrived.
  18. 87storms
    well i don't normally root for 90 degree weather, but i'll take it over 50/cloudy/breezy (i'm over that) or even 60 and sunny. i'd lock in upper 70s to low 80s if i could.
  19. 87storms
    effective thunderstorm moving through here. this really is one of, if not my favorite, kinds of weather days. great for outdoor hoops and then topped off with a thunderstorm. trails will inevitable be a mess tomorrow, though. only downside.

    we needed the rain, so not gonna complain about that, but it would be really nice if spring starts after this system moves through lol. i can't imagine what it must be like living in the northern tier states. it has gotten a notch nicer lately, but this pattern has been tough to shake. in any case, not surprised to see some flood warnings. i did bike little bennett thursday and the trail was damp and still muddy in spots, unlike the previous couple months where most trails were predominantly dry.
  22. 87storms
    part of the issue has been the clouds and wind which have been more the rule than the exception for about 5 months now. sure, temps may be near normal, but it has definitely felt like a less than ideal spring so far with the exception of last week. sunny and 50s feels a lot better than cloudy/windy and 50s. must be a la nina trait with the fast flowing northern stream as it's felt more like the northern mid-atlantic than southern.
  23. 87storms
    Well if it’s gonna happen let it be Monday.
  24. 87storms
    Went on a bit of a mtb binge this past week (trails have been in good shape). If it’s gonna be a late November day tomorrow it might as well be Monday while my legs are sore. Also hiked a trail in Michaux last weekend where it hailed/graupel’d for a few minutes. That was pretty wild. Definitely a flip flop pattern, but seems to be inching it’s way towards spring. Latter half of the week looks pretty nice.

    Pretty close lightning strike here in Frederick a few mins ago. Been some thunder around these cells which is surprising given the temps.
