    Looks like I’ll be watching most of these from the bleachers unless there’s some reforming imminent for rt15. Congrats to Moco.

    These are gonna be imby style gully washers for those who score. Seeing lightning in the distance. This is the type of air mass I’ve been waiting for (for strong+ cells).

    If it doesn’t storm here by Monday, I’m moving to the Mojave desert.

    It’s significantly humid out lol. If we don’t get storms in Frederick from this, then we deserve to be sent down directly to double A ball.

    I’m personally enjoying the feeling of typical dmv summer. Then again, part of that is because it makes for ideal basketball weather. For biking, I do generally prefer 60-80 and drier. My biggest gripe is that the cooler air masses tend to result in more clouds around here and a thorny nw breeze. Obs…seeing some storms to the west, but tbd on how well they hold together with several ridges to pass en route to the rt15 corridor.

    I think I timed my trip to Nevada pretty well. Left during the smoky haze and returned before the heat wave in the southwest arrived. Great to see some increasing humidity in the coming days (and an increase in storm chances) instead of that drought-y northwest flow that was prevalent for so long. I can't tell how well Frederick did while I was gone, but the grass looks a little greener than it did.

    I always considered the Nam (and especially the 3k) as a tool to use to get an idea of whether there will be any convection, but I don’t find it as useful for determining where it will actually occur.

    It was toasty…kinda like an oven/dry heat. A “cold front” (more of a wind direction change) came through overnight so we should be in the low 100s for the next several days. It’s definitely more tolerable so far today.

    I’ll call that dmv searing heat and raise you Las Vegas. Toasty out here today. Currently around 110/40 across the area. It’s prob the equivalent of 95/70 (maybe more). Gotta really hike/bike, etc. in the early morning or later in the day when it gets like this. Went on a mini hike at 10am and it was already starting to get spicy out.

    Weather is looking busy back east. Meanwhile, it’s 105 and sunny in Vegas…and will be approaching 110 the next couple days. I’ve been told this is their first 100 degree pattern since last year. Also, from a weather geek perspective, it was cool seeing the snowcaps of the Rockies en route here. They definitely had a fun winter. Anyhow. good to see that the pattern has turned stormier back home, though if I’m gonna take a biking break I guess I picked a good time.

    …think they’re gonna try to take the northern route out of here. I like that idea as opposed to being grounded for 2 hrs.
  12. 87storms
    Of course I would be on a connecting flight in Chicago with what looks like a derecho approaching lol.
  13. 87storms
    Been wanting a Bermuda High pattern since May lol. Unfortunately, the Canada wildfires might last all season.
  14. 87storms
    I think I can actually smell the smoke this time. Almost has a chlorine scent. Awesome.
  15. 87storms
    From the lack of snowstorms to the drought to the smoky haze…hopefully July brings in some better vibes.
  16. 87storms
    Only about a trace here the last couple days. I think the number of microclimates in this area is underrated. Hard to get a region-wide flush hit unless it’s a system that makes an almost perfect pass over the area.
  17. 87storms
    Drove through a downpour and some thunder. Productive cells if you’re lucky enough to get under them.
  18. 87storms
    The 270 split is a storm magnet.
  19. 87storms
    It’s all because the LWX radar is down.
  20. 87storms
    I’d feel pretty good i95 east. Little more questionable further west, but the storms are clearly just getting going, so I’m keeping the hope alive. Just had one pop up cell nearby.
  21. 87storms
    I like the way water vapor looks right now. Can clearly see things starting to bubble up to the west. There is a little bit of a breeze out there and, for some reason (non-scientific), I never like that as a precursor to storms (it's not as stagnant as I'd like up this way, but still pretty humid out). We shall wait and see what happens.
  22. 87storms
    We're also really good at closed lows over the GL region.
  23. 87storms
    We deserve a severe thunderstorm watch after what's been one of the most boring stretches of weather in mid-Atlantic history.
  24. 87storms
    The models are showing a typical hit/miss day of summer storms lol.
  25. 87storms
    Just got rained on biking the ‘shed. Kinda felt good tbh, though biking rocks in the rain isn’t the most ideal situation. I noticed clouds were rolling in, but radar was clean when I checked. We’re still professionals at high dews and isolated showers/storms.
