87storms

Might be able to snag some fringe light snow with the upper level part, but overall quite a miserable storm for our area. Perfect temps. But for whatever reason, these storms just want to stay suppressed similar to last year. Definitely need that pattern reboot that looks to be coming later this month based on the LR thread. On the bright side, it’s only December 9th.

blanton's bourbon is obnoxiously difficult to find. they really are the hotcakes of bourbon.

they need a 3rd goto scorer at the 3 or 4 position. in storm news...i'm very much still in. gotta think it's all about the northern stream at this point and how much of a road block it will be in early december. usually we worry about temps at this time of year, so i have some doubts about how suppressed this storm will be. maybe we can fringe our way to a moderate storm...or in the wizards case, a 6th thru 8th seed.

i like the fact that there's at least a southern stream system. i could see where this bumps north again, assuming the northern stream isn't as intense (which is possible in early dec). early enough in the game for a positive trend starting asap.

the last few months remind me of 09/10. storm after storm starting in early fall...colder and colder each time until we got within striking distance of a cold enough high. gonna be a wild winter if this pattern holds, and the fact that we've already gotten snow in november says a lot about the type of pattern we're in.

interesting start to the pre-winter season so far. legitimately chilly out. if this type of pattern holds for a couple more months...

i have a new bourbon recommendation...filibuster. it's like russell's reserve sb, but a little cheaper. also, my cousin's friend owns a bar in bmore and apparently has whistle pig. i'm interested in trying that one.

this summer was crazy. i don't remember anything like this before. i think i've seen new bug species as a result lol. mosquitoes everywhere. i love spring/summer, but this was overly fulfilling. i'm actually pretty ok with cooler temps right now to reset things.

i'm ready for a bit of a respite. the humidity has been anti-ideal.

this heat has been tolerable, but the humidity has been off the chain. this is a legitimate heat wave that is reminiscent of what you'd experience in late june. what's helping at the moment is this blanton's (really good bourbon). that and russell's reserve single barrel are at the top of my list right now, in that price range. in other news, i think 4 day work weeks should be every other week. i'm all in for summer friday's. i'd say every week, but that's pushing it and if i actually loved my job (i like my job, but i don't love my job), then i would probably have a different opinion lol.

today's heat was legit

forecast bust today. not a single drop so far. that's 2 weekends in a row. maybe later on some showers will develop, but up to this point (aside from the humidity) it turned out to be a pretty nice day.

ok, these flash flood watches are officially getting annoying. it rained today, but not much and not for long. i'm not thrilled with how the last few days were forecasted. yes, there were storms around, but come on now.

my sister and bro in law drove through that storm on 64 towards the beach around 5-6pm yesterday. she said it was one of the worst storms she's ever been through. in a bit of a severe weather drought here. would like to see some fireworks today.

that might actually be more than what i received and i was driving all over moco yesterday. i imagine noaa will be having some lessons learned about this one. i don't care how others did, if i'm under a flash flood watch and the most i get is sprinkles, then that's a problem. the sky didn't look ripe at all for storms here yesterday. it looked disorganized and when that happens for some reason i feel like we have a difficult time with precip.

total bust here. was expecting more coverage. at least some folks did well. in other news, i can't believe it's already aug 9. summers go too fast. gotta enjoy the next month of pool time while we have it...and maybe sprinkled in with some severe...or even strong.

i'm probably wishcasting. bmore seems more in the game, but they're so spotty. this has been an underwhelming severe year so far.

radar looks fun. i'm on the southern edge, but hoco to bmore might need a flashlight.

finally broke my jeep in on peters mill just a couple weeks ago. fun stuff. as far as weather here...kind of a bust so far in dc proper. maybe the next line can produce something.

these storms have loved the daytime heating. maybe part of the reason the short term guidance would be forecasting too little early in the day, but then too much as the day goes on.

it's all relative at this point. it's time for a new pattern.

another batch moving in. not sure how much loss of daytime will impact it, but we'll see. i'm pretty much done with this pattern. it's time for some regularity.

this weather pattern is unlike anything i've ever seen here, at least in the summer. it feels like the tropics outside, and has for generally the last month. remarkable stuff.

this week's rains have definitely been of the periodic wave variety.

gfs says have an umbrella ready. region-wide 0.5"+ through tonight.
