Anyone in N MD feel it? There are def reports that people did...  Was around 8:30pm

Nope....nothing exciting here

.66 inches.  1.37 for the past 7 days. I guess that's okay. Still would like to get over an inch for one event.  Hope the sky clears up so that I can get under a good 20-minute downpour.

Looking out in time a muggy, active and stormy pattern will continue for the next couple weeks. Severe weather odds increase again to our West in time and may make it here as well. 

High dews , sorry to say, are going to pay a visit early next week, but as for extreme heat,  or long duration above normal heat, that is nowhere in sight. 

May have to wait until after July  4 th for an official heat wave IMHO. Will will have a 90 degree, or more day, but not enough strung together to qualify as a true heatwave. So far, the cooler side is winning. ( or the less warm side , whatever floats your boat  .

Seems rainfall is one main reason for the cooler weather, ( no dry/hot source region to tap ) along with the upstream blocking, the previous long duration -SOI /MJO and the cold pool in the NW Atlantic.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I have come to the idea that usually when we have mild winters, our summers are on the cooler side. And when our winters are cold and snowy, we get heat waves.

Hmm,  I am not sure about that.

We have had some cooler summers earlier in the decade. Recent summers have been warm and muggy.  

I do recall a conversation with bluewave from the NYC forum and it had to do with the warm waters of the Western Atlantic and the recent years where the WAR was very powerful. Also, how summer has lasted well into the Fall the last 5 years. 

bluewave posted a map of record high temps and without going into a lot of detail when you see these record highs in the summer many of these were along the edge of the WAR over the SE coastline and a bit inland. The morale of the story here is, the warm waters and feedback may be , or is, contributing to longer lasting summers in the East and SE, and summers have been warmer recently.

Just off the top of my head- 2014 and 2003 already disprove that.

[C.A.P.E.]

Total for the rain event this morning here was 2.10", and 3.15" since Sunday.

[osfan24]

Not seeing much clearing here today.

[Eskimo Joe]

Sun poking out in McClean and on the Beltway over the Potomac.

[frd]

72 degrees here now with some sun breaking out from time to time.

Broke 3 inches here between the last two rain events, pretty crazy !

Grass was looking dry last week but appears to be bouncing back.  An excellent fescue grass season in my area so far.

News to me about days 10 to 16 

 

 

[frd]

Pretty cool spiral cloud bands spinning about.

 

  

 

[frd]

The  WAR getting pushed East and South in the coming 7 day period.  Next week looks active for waves to effect us with more rainfall.    

Looking for a good beach day, but hard to choose.  Tomorrow will get blinded by flying sand particles. Sunday looks nice but the wave action not so good, seems like a SW wind, was looking for offshore.  And not liking the tide cycle , tide going out on the afternoon. 

Tuesday has potential bebind the wave from Monday , maybe a close WNW or I will take even WSW wind. Magic Seaweed has a few single stars from 9 AM to 3 PM. ) Have to keep a close watch.

Look at all that rain again.

Pretty good marble sized hail in the Ballenger Creek area of Frederick.

[nw baltimore wx]

It looked like I was going to get split about 15 minutes ago, but now the line looks much improved. 

[frd]

Wow - that storm packed a punch, power flickered twice, branches down , driving rain, estimate wind gusts maybe to 35 to 40 mph. I did not see or hear any hail. 

I was near the Southern edge of the 50 DBZ radar returns, looking North , I would think Newark, DE. got hit harder , also up there the line was wider.  

 

[nw baltimore wx]

Picked up .52" this evening and 1.06" in the past 24 hours, so no complaints here!

Still waiting for the pumpkins and gourds to germinate, but today helped a lot.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

3.20" since midnight- a good win here for a change.

[GramaxRefugee]

1.30" for today, mostly ovrnt.

6pm storm mostly passed to my north.

[EastCoast NPZ]

.3" today combined from early morning shower and afternoon.  Gulley washer.

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

Yeah, there was nice nw moving rain band in Ohio today.. reminds me of September. -Nao cut into state of emergency lol

[mattie g]

Amazing morning. 55 when I left the house. Felt kind of like walking out the morning after the first continental cold front passage in September.

[BlizzardNole]

Got a total of 1.05 which is great after getting only 0.9 over the previous 30 days.  Hoping to cash in on some showers next week.

Can't believe it's 55 and breezy out!  I saw Oakland at 43 with 26 mph winds.  Wow!

[frd]

56 degrees here. Breezy, feels like early October . Leaves on the ground from last night's storm.  not a typical looking or feeling mid June morning

You might take interest in this post, even though it is geared towards the NYC forum.

To me it is very interesting as the lack of heat so far this season is rare as bluewave pointed out in his post.  true is has been more pronounced further North and West but still rather impressive that we can enjoy more typical Spring days and have had low dew point and cool periods in a sea of warmth this decade. 

Of note see 2003 and 2014 both cool June months that were part of winters that were cold and snowy I believe. So it can happen but not very often.  

from @bluewave

Only the 6th time in the last 30 years that LGA hasn’t reached 90 degrees by June 15th. Warm season notable cool stats have been few and far between during the 2010’s. So it’s bit of a rarity when we see muted high temperatures like this. Just the 2nd occurrence this decade.

This has been a beautiful October so far.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Yesterday afternoon and evening were amazing.  Breezy and cool.  67, sunny, and breezy here after the front cleared...late afternoon on June 13.  Another great day on-tap.
