  1. Got absolutely slammed between 830-930 last night and ended up with 1.66" of rain. Rain rate on the local PWS was as high as 2.47"/hr. I can tell you that it was accurate by how hard it slammed onto the roof of the house. Everything got a nice drink! 90/71 were the hi/low numbers yesterday. This morning was MUGGY when I left the house. Currently 73/73 and I believe it 100%. Phew
  2. Prime MCS season is almost here for the Midwest and Ohio Valley. We are always under a threat pending the environment when it's expected to our west. This upcoming pattern advertised would give us a better chance. Will need to assess the positioning of the quasi-stationary fronts closely as we move into the later part of the month. Those are the train tracks, per say.
  3. Mean wind is towards Fairfax Co, so there's a shot. There's a small theta_E min on mesoanalysis right over that area, so perhaps it weakens on approach...if it makes it. Certainly seems feasible, but will be really close. That area was basically the edge of the greater instability progs. Hopefully it falls apart soon so the decision is easier. Edit: Looks like the storm is taking a jog away from the county. Might be safe so long as nothing else develops upwind of the cell.
  4. The saturation certainly can help in that regard. In fact, something to monitor heading into summer. More rain can dampen *No pun intended* some of the higher temperature forecasts due to the low-level moisture leftover. Slightly higher dews and slight lower air temps. Still feels hot, but different. Southwesterly winds can of course curb some of that, but that could be a theme this year if rain continues early in the season.
  5. 84/67 for the temps today at mi casa. Already down to 75 there thanks to a slight breeze off the water. Currently 83 at work
  6. With all the rain recently and the warmer temps incoming, should start getting some good progress on tomatoes. Garden at the house has been humming along. Lettuce has done really well and the peas are ready to go now too. Herbs are going gangbusters. We have so much mint and thyme now. I'm looking forward to some mojitos in the summer with some steaks
  7. Stash restoration? Pretty warm today all around. Felt kind of nice as the humidity isn't overly oppressive....yet 84 for a high after a low of 61. Already down to 79 in the neighborhood. Currently 86 at work
  8. Happy Birthday @George BM
  9. Additional 0.18” of rainfall to bring the month to a grand total of 10.26” We are now officially near normal along the western shore here in the Lowlands. A far cry to start the month, but a strong precip pattern brought us 4 days of 1+” of precip and 2 events of over 2”. Everything is lush green around here now and the garden is flourishing. Summer will give a little sneak peek later this week. Enjoy the tranquility while you can. Cheers! Currently 64/47. Beautiful
  10. Good lord. Got home and had even more rain. 2.19” now after the last batch rolled through. We now pushed past 10” for the month. 10.08” I am floored. The drought is finished around here.
  11. 1.62” at my place. Officially over 9” for the month. What a turnaround.
  12. Only a matter of time with these heavy rain cores. Now it’s over the more prone areas. Stay safe over there in Columbia.
  13. Crazy month when it starts raining wives.
  14. Tornadic circulation about to pass south of my place in Edgewater. Looks like we’ll get smoked by rain again there. Needed 1.21” to eclipse 9” for the month. Have a good shot I feel. Man, what a month for rainfall around here.
  15. That tornado warned storm near Wheaton is nasty. There might be something on the ground presently or really close to dropping.
  16. Nice forecast update by my colleague. I had the Slight Risk through Eastern KY, WV, and Central MD this morning. With the latest CAMs, Philly got on board. They wanted to see one more suite before wanting the higher risk, so I backed off the Philly area on initial collaboration. Looks like tomorrow will bring the goods
  17. Considering your historical record dates fairly far back, having a record would be very impressive for the month. I hope we can get slammed and put the kibosh on the drought once and for all for at least half the region.
  18. Correct and I'll be taking a closer look at it tonight. NAM Nest is the most aggressive with the convective component of the forecast, but it's plausible it has the right idea. There will be a narrow corridor of heavy rainfall. Curious to see if it trends further on other guidance for the region. The update will be out overnight around 330-4AM, so check in tomorrow morning for the update. Also, last night shift for me tonight in the stretch. Stoked!
  19. With the final bit of true rain moving out, final tally is 1.82" at mi casa. A little more extra than what I was anticipating with my previous post. I'll gladly take it. Hi/Lo 62/52 so far with the temp currently at 59. Incredible stretch of weather the past few weeks. Incredible 7.89" of rain this month with more to come on Friday. A run at 9" is certainly plausible
  20. 1.64” here on the western shore of the Bay. Glorious sleeping weather. Light rain continues, but probably only going to add a bit before it ends. Hi/Low so far is 62/52. Currently 58°
  21. Not much rain in my hood today with only 0.03" in the gauge. High was 71 briefly, but sank to the 60s after the rain this afternoon hit and never recovered. Low was a cool 52, which was great for sleeping on nights. Another wet day over the region tomorrow, a generous offering to us night shifters. Only one left after tonight. Congrats to those getting good rain today!
  22. One of the positives of baseball....marathon, not a sprint. No, I don't think we're gonna turn it around enough, but we have the talent to AT LEAST get the bats to wake up some. Pitching will kill us for the long term, but we weren't THIS bad imo. Weirder things have happened, but I'm just glad they figured out how to string some good baseball together instead of 1 game followed by 4+ egregious performances.
  23. After some clouds this morning (Which while I'm on night shifts I'm thankful for), it cleared up nicely this afternoon and provided another picture perfect day to round out an immaculate weekend. 73/60 so far for the high/low, but the low might go down here soon with temps already at 62 at mi casa. It'll be close! But the high of 73 was beautiful, just in time for my afternoon walk. I hope everyone got out and enjoyed as much as they could. Edit: Dropped to 56 for the low. Beautiful
  24. Another incredible day for the lowlands. 73/50 today with mostly sunny skies. This afternoon's walk was immaculate again. This is by far one of the nicest Memorial Weekends in a long while around here. Tomorrow, another beauty in the works! Upper 40s to mid-50s for lows and low to mid-70s for highs with some upper 70s in spots. Mostly sunny by the afternoon. Glorious
