Biked over at Little Bennett today. Definitely dry…which actually is great for mtb, but the lack of rain is showing. There is comically one mud patch area that seems to never dry and it was still hanging in there, though overall the trail was as dry I’ve seen it.
-
We need to reel this one in.
-
I think I saw literally 1-2 drops hit my windshield near mby as I was heading home.
-
Looks like another upper level low around the GL region for early next week. Maybe a couple of vorticity lobes can wring out some precip, though that’s a maybe. We’re just not getting much from those northern systems.
-
Nah, this is the mid-Atlantic. It’s supposed to be green and lush in the summer. This weather pattern is getting played out.
-
Hey look, clouds streaming in from the nw on satellite. If you want boring weather, that’s the flow you want…kinda like how it’s been basically the entire year and then some. Re smoke…caught the red sunset over the Catoctins yesterday and see a noticeable haze. Might actually be smelling occasional smoke as well.
-
And not just a lack of precip, but actually dry. Very blocky pattern right now. This is up there with one of the worst pollen seasons I can remember as well. We had a legit drought during one of the summers around 2000ish which included some water restrictions or guidelines. This is getting to that point.
-
Another reason why I’m ready for a southerly flow to return. I want swamp-like humidity and afternoon storms.
-
Grass is starting to brown here. We need a southern stream. These last few months seem to be a predominantly NW flow without much in the way of any GOM/Atlantic influence. The dew points have reflected that.
-
Feels good to get a couple of good humid days in. This is the type of airmass where a system from the north might be able to spawn some garden variety storms. Otherwise, they typically bring nothing, but clouds and precip scraps. Looks like we're back to the Great Plains/Midwest pattern again starting tomorrow.

2023 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx Thread (General Discussion)
87storms replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
I've had quite a few good ones the last couple years here in Frederick...especially the stretch around August/September 2021. -
Quite a few 90+ readings around my area. Now we just need storms. This is so much better than tracking gloomy northern stream systems all winter.
-
It's about time. I was starting to really miss the swampy goodness of Summer.
-
That said, would be nice to get in on a pollen-cleansing and ground-moistening storm or two on Saturday.
-
I didn’t notice the smoke again today. Maybe Frederick has been on the edge of it. What I will say is that today was outstanding basketball weather.
-
Elon needs to ramp up that Mars colonization.
-
I didn’t notice it too much today, but my allergies have been premium this season.
-
This actually is pretty close to perfect weather. Sunshine, mild with an ocean-like breeze. Satellite imagery shows that ULL still impacting areas to the south. They’re going through what we did a few weeks ago.
-
In what can only be described as a miracle, there is a light shower moving through mby with a healthy rainbow looking south.
-
As expected, no rain around downtown Frederick. Very pleasant temps all weekend. Clouds are breaking up on satellite with that ULL starting to spin itself out...looks like a nice week ahead with a continued Central Plains-like weather pattern.
-
It has absolutely zero intention of raining in Frederick. Clouds are a scattered mess with the sun peeking through as I type this on my balcony. Looks like another beautiful day on tap.
-
Phenomenal weather so far this weekend. Just got some mtb in, staycation style. Feels good to be on the northern side of an upper level low instead of getting cloud scraps from those northern stream vorts. What’s surprising is dews are still on the low side up here.
-
I want 80s and nothing less, for the next 3 months...with afternoon storms.
-
I think we're due for a Nor'easter pattern where the N/W 'burbs get the goods.
-
It feels like we've been stuck in a Midwest type of a pattern for a while now. We're not just missing out on storms, it really hasn't even been too humid all season. Breezy/mild/dry...that's been the theme since at least the Fall. It also hasn't been that exciting weather-wise since 2021 aside from a couple of noteworthy events. Long story short, I'm ready for El Nino.
