…in other news, I finally got my hands on some Eagle Rare…a rare find these days. I still remember Chill and others recommending that one to me. I personally think it’s underpriced…and I’m ok with that.
-
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are ballin’ under their coach, who was once on the ‘skins staff. They may need to find a younger, innovative coach instead of someone who might be stuck in their ways. Season is early tho…tbd.
-
The weather this week has been high level. I have noticed more stink bugs lately, but they don’t bother me. The tiny black biting flies or wherever they are, I can do without.
-
There's definitely more sun already than I expected. I'm not a big fan of extended cloud cover, though I don't mind a reset every now and then like this past weekend.
-
I remember Summer 2018 being super wet to the point that several Potomac Locks were flooded at times. Basically, the polar opposite of our April thru August stretch, at least in the drought zones. Summer 2019 wasn't dry either, if I recall correctly.
-
Can actually see some breaks in the clouds up here. Pretty good forecast by LWX as they mentioned the potential for that the last couple days as the high builds a little further south.
-
Today was a marine layer on steroids. Satellite imagery showed a cloud deck that hardly moved all day lol. Basically the weather you’d find in a lull during a winter nor’easter.
-
Looks like a Pacific NW climate incoming with a low level easterly flow all week. Hopefully, that at least includes some breaks in the clouds.
-
Looks like the next round arrives around 2am and lasts through the morning with another ~0.5-0.75” areawide and more towards the 95 corridor.
-
0z nam looks kinda good so far.
-
I caved (taking an online class, so had to keep my priorities straight). No bourbon yet, but I did pour a glass. Now it’s time to pad some precip stats.
-
Yea, we need that bowling ball of precip to not turn into a ping pong ball by the time it reaches the 95 corridor. I'm at about ~1-1.25" around here. Could use another band or two. I've got some Breckenridge Oktoberfest waiting for me...that and maybe even some Bootjack whiskey.
-
~0.75” so far
-
I could see this being an overperformer, if anything. It’s a weakening system, but it’s not often we have a tropical system moving straight off the Atlantic and up 95 lol. Satellite looks phenomenal: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12
-
Been managing to stay in the southern edge of that band. Upslope is doing its thing so far. The bands off the Bay look intriguing, too.
-
Pretty good shower winding down now with around 0.5” so far.
-
Definitely a nice, borderline fiery sunset looking towards the Catoctin’s. Ready for the equinox soaker.
-
It prob felt warmer with that southerly breeze/sun. I’m pretty sure I played basketball in shorts and a tshirt the day before.
-
It's been shown to hit a wall the last few days. I think it's almost nowcast time. Strength and amount of dry air intrusion changes up until the last minute with almost every coastal storm. I wouldn't be surprised if Frederick does pretty well this upslope. Just having something to track other than a summer clipper is a win.
-
Helluva precip gradient on the 12z’s. The storm is basically sandwiched between the mountains and Atlantic. Looks like a blocky pattern coming up, which is actually how 09/10 started.
-
That’s the boss level.
-
The Commanders are 2-0, the Orioles might win 100 games, and it's been raining in Frederick. Times are changing.
-
Lol I hear ya. That next weekend system is looking intriguing, too.
-
The rivers and streams are probably still gonna run low until we get a few good storms, but the grass might be greener this week than it has been all summer.
-
Did decent with the first round, all things considered. Got about 0.15-0.25". Latest round is incoming. Pretty impressive how we can go from blue skies and relatively dry weather to damp and dreary within 24 hours. Looks like nice weather in between this system and then maybe a coastal low to pay attention to next weekend.
