I believe BWI maxed out w a gust of 38. Wind over performing seems to be quite common. It was breezy here and part of the reason I chose to bike today over hoops. I think the wind helped dry out the Frederick watershed…streams are running high, but the trail itself was in better shape than I expected.

I like to get out on the road and a 30+ crosswind gust is no bueno lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I haven’t ventured into road biking yet, though I did have to fight some wind on one of the climbs today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 NWS missed this one....Thunderstorm in Brunswick. Line sunk further south than forecasted and they never updated! Some of us catch early trains!!!! Overnight Mostly cloudy early, then becoming mostly clear, with a low around 59. West wind around 6 mph. Models including 6Z HRRR also missed this line completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bees are particuarly persistent/prevalent for past two weeks....have never seen so many around all of our frontside holly bushes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 LR doesn’t look very wet attm. My sandy soil yard is already dried up and hard after the recent rain. Might be time to fire up the drought thread. That said, 6-10, 8-14, and 3-4 week outlooks all show fair chances of below to normal temps. No big heat on the horizon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke up to quite the light show from that one. Think it was around 3/4 am. I had a hunch that stuff up in PA last night might push south so we hauled the catio in before we went up last night. Glad I was correct as hauling that thing in that early in the am would not have been fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a fire blow up on satellite and radar SE of Fredericksburg, VA yesterday afternoon. I wonder if that could be the source? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seasonal wetland is shrinking some, so I can't complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you bring that up -- I've been reading that Canada had a very warm and dry winter and some think that 2024 could be even a worse wildfire season than last year As much as we love those cool, low humidity days after summer cold fronts, I'd rather take the big heat that comes with a SW flow if there are big fires burning up there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be it, the AirNow map has a small, darker area from southeast of Fredericksburg into King George and Charles, with some yellows (everywhere surrounding it is green). I’m not smelling it anymore now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably my least favorite type of weather pattern...typically leads to dry and/or cloudy and/or breezy and/or wildfires. I'd rather live in the desert (southwest is on my radar) where that kind of weather just makes sense. Around here, this area is lush...or supposed to be. We need a dominant sw to easterly flow/storms/humidity with occasional frontal passages, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The rain after 4 am caught me offguard. Got enough to leave ponding on roads in northern Balt County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 81F in Fallston. Hearing loud rumbles, was thinking it was some military testing or something, but it turns out there are strong thunderstorms to my north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Just had a pretty intense 10 mins of hail in Vienna. Up to about nickel size. Was really coming down hard for about 5 mins. When it finished the sun was out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bel Air Wx Project Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Pretty intense compact storm just rolled through Pylesville too. Dime sized hail covered the porch at the peak! Now it's back to sunny and beautiful outside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Today's weather was primo...nice, warm temps with occasional storms to keep things interesting, but not enough rain up this way to keep me off the courts. This is what I'm here for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
