Yea, when I saw the Nam yesterday it didn't look all that inspiring for rain today, though I thought there was still rain in the forecast today. I'm good with today turning out as it did.
Beautiful temps today. Just played some full court hoops, but it was clearly a pollen covered court. I had a feeling allergies were gonna ramp up after last week.
They added the eclipse overlay to the satellite imagery: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G16&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24
Looks like our region is back to being a professional cloud magnet. We'll see how much in the way of debris clouds makes their way across the mountains.
The rain puts a damper on my biking, but I can fit in hoops around mild temps and rain. What I don't want is 40s/low 50s and wind. I've graduated from that. The main thing we need to be weary of are those lumbering upper level lows through the GL and northeast. That's a recipe for cloudy/cool/breezy.
It wants to be cloudy so badly, but so far it's been a pretty nice start to the day. Looks like we're in and out of sun for the remainder of the day, but that's an improvement over the "tropical remnants" type of a pattern we had all week.
Today is a classic day where areas closer to the mountains will probably more clouds than areas further east. I “chased” the sun into work today from Frederick to Columbia.
Might get some breaks in the clouds before sunset. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12&dim=undefined
I missed that one…I was out like a light lol. Looks like 12-2 is when those cells moved through with another 0.5-1”…with another round incoming. Healthy system.
