Catoctin Creek is running pretty low again. This area could use a deluge at this point, but the models aren’t showing a whole lot from this event for the rain shadow zones. Hopefully we can at least get a line of cells to move through.
Similar boat here and, frankly, maybe more of a micro because I’m right up against Gambrill State Park/Watershed. Grass is not just a tint of brown, but legitimately getting brown.
I’ve been in the rain hole shown iweather, though today has a different vibe so far. Sunny and humid start here. We’ll see if anything can tap into the fuel.
PA really does seem to do better with storms overall. I always kinda liked their climate (aside from probably more clouds). Less concerns about the sleet line in the winter and closer to shortwaves swinging through the Midwest. Their roads do suck, though.
The mountains are too powerful for these wimpy frontal passages and shortwaves for our valleys. We need more of the forcing that we had in May and June.
The Catoctin Cloud Factory has been doing a pretty good job at keeping it partly sunny here today. Otherwise, another beautiful day. Not much aside from drizzle here yesterday, but I noticed the 270 Split Storm Magnet did really well again.
Definitely very humid and can hear thunder in the distance. I just feel like we do better with blue skies and building cumulus towers. Today there’s been all layers of clouds it seems. But maybe the humidity wins out and we finally get a good soaker.
