The skeeters are out in full force now and they mean business. Thank goodness for Off spray being sold in 3 packs at Costco. Everytime I know I’m going to be outside longer than 30 seconds, I spray my ankles. That seems to be their favorite spot to get you. I know I’m wishing my summer away, but I’m ready for fall!

Yesterday was absolutely more ripe. I do think they’ve been too liberal with the FF Watches recently, but yesterday needed one and it worked out. I’ve been so busy at work these past few months. Can’t wait for my 2+ week vacation in 9 days. Just a set of 7 night shifts stand in the way of me and freedom

I understand the frustration, but the flood/flash flood watches are to encompass entire counties that are within an area that have favorable conditions for flood prospects. The pattern recently has been less about organized cell clusters and more about more localized convective schema, so these are probably the ones that are extremely annoying to see for those that miss out. I do feel we probably issue too many in these parts (That’s my personal opinion which is just that at the end of the day), but today is actually a day where it is justified. The concern today will be initiation spatially, because if you miss to the west on initiation, you’ll get nothing and areas downstream should get hammered. Hopefully everyone in the sub gets something today. This environment is very ripe for efficient rainfall makers.

Over 2” in under a hour with more to come. Definitely some flooding going to be occurring across parts of the state. We grabbed 1.41” earlier from the lone cell in AA Co. Should crack 2” in total once this batch from the southwest blows through

Yeah. It was a quick hitter around here, but we got smoked. 0.75” in a pretty short time. I’ll take it.

Did a 3 mile walk earlier and I'm pretty certain the sun is actively trying to kill us today. Humidity and full sun was abysmal in the Lowlands. UGH

Happy Birthday @mappy!! Hopefully it was a great day with family and friends

Amazing day after the run of heat. Got in a long walk and it was stellar. Nice little break before summer comes back in for the weekend and beyond. High only hit 76 today, good for only a 9 degree diurnal!! Rain hit us last night, but we somehow missed the heavier rain as it developed all around us and then weakened as it moved through and out. 0.3” in total. I’ll take it since it came with a nice cool down.

High or 99 briefly in the neighborhood before the storm/outflow hit. Down to 80° now and feels so much better even with the humidity.

It officially hit 100° in my neighborhood this afternoon. At one point it was 99/80 for a HI of 121° I’m not even going for my walk today. Just gonna stay inside and do laundry. Slept great after night 6/8.

Truly disgusting and we still have tomorrow!

Yup! The additional higher dew points has made this feel worse than at any point last year. I mentioned a week or so ago about the higher ground moisture content may curb the air temps a bit, but the humidity will be a bigger problem in the grand scheme. Sweltry is the word for this kind of heat.

Yup! We see the ridging get beat down from disturbances in the northern stream and the flow becomes more amplified after Monday. At least the heat will take a beating, but it'll still be summer!

Here’s the local station near my house that I took right as I finished my walk. Blistering!!

Hi of 99F Low of 78F Heat Index hit 115 during my mid-afternoon walk after my post night shift sleep. It's been years since I felt anything like this. Have to go back to when I was in Central Texas middle of July in 2022. Yuck

The humidity is really going to be a monster to overcome this week. Today was the "cooler" day of the heat wave and it was downright NASTY out this afternoon. 94/75 for the hi/low in my neighborhood. The dew point was able to breach 80 today in the middle of the afternoon with a majority of the time hovering around 77-79. Brutal

Final numbers yesterday were 92/69 with 0.34" of precip. I think the winds hurt the rain collection because it was dumping, but coming down sideways. Still a decent total and brings the month to 3.97" already. This has been a really wet May/June combo. Now to bake.....

Tons of small branches down across Eastern AA county as I assessed on my way into work. Crofton area had a bunch down as well along Rt3. Nothing too major seen on my assessment, but certainly took out some smaller dead branches in its path.

Getting rocked in Edgewater right now. Winds and rain are legit

They got off at the exit.... Edit: Crashed on the off ramp

87/72 so far for the hi/low 1.52" of rain today Quite a summer afternoon with those storms earlier. It feels like late June out there and the heat will not be ceasing anytime soon.

This was such a low risk, high reward signing given the details of the contract. This only adds to a pretty solid secondary for starting sense with some of the depth pieces reputable and likely to learn over time from the people ahead on the depth chart. Considering our schedule this season, this is a huge pickup in a scheme sense. Need to stay healthy, and the rotation should help Alexander in that regard. I am stoked for this one.

Rain lightening up around here. Was a soaker though. Picked up 1.27” of rain (Still going a little bit) in 25 min or so. Intra-hour rates hit 3.8”/hr at one point. Temp dropped from 87 to 72 during the storm. Great storm! I’ll post my final temp and precip numbers this evening.

Getting blasted right now in Edgewater. Thunder woke me up. Start a stretch of nights tonight. I’ll take the rain cooled air. Bring it

80/78 out in my neighborhood. Absolutely brutal
