Not me. At this point, I’m just hoping for 2 months of summer.

Don't worry, our summers are now July-October :). 

I could really use a nice stretch of sunny days. Constant threat of clouds/rain is getting old. My girls are trying to get in their championship game but the weather isn't cooperating.

.03” sometime in the early morning hours. Have the cloud mist again this morning. The sinus suffers in the house, which includes me, have not have the easiest of times these last two days.

lol, there does seem to be a subtle shift in the seasons the last few years.  I could use some Vitamin D even if it comes along with 90 degree weather.  I think the trails could use a breather as well.

I can sense the warm front is closer than yesterday but we are experts at cad, so it may take some time to erode. Hopefully by mid afternoon there’ll be peaks of sun up this way.

[Mrs.J]

While a bit warmer out than yesterday, 71. Just got myself a nice cup of tea and popped my slippers on. 

 

Also I know there are others on here with PWS in their yards. I have had my station reporting to Weather Underground for sometime now. But I finally was able to get my reporting set up for PWSWeather. It does not activate right away as it does quality checks of your station before making it active. But I have mine up and reporting now. You can find the link below in my signature. They have a handy App also for on the go.

Summer softball starts tomorrow. Need some sun to dry out soggy infields

Yeah I have my second to last tournament up in Churchville this weekend... so far we have been able to get every tournament in this year. Next weekend's EOY tournament is at the beach.

[wxdude64]

Already had two showers blow thru this am, but still under .10 total. Boy is it miserably muggy. Currently 72.2/70.0, feels like a sauna out there.

Nice! Hope it works out for you!

Finally seeing some lee side clearing in Virginia. Probably too late for Baltimore metro and points east, but still glad to see some blue sky trying to get in here.

Looks like that building was basically a 'dam' with water going thru the windows AND not sure if that was flood water or coming from another source, over the roof at one point, crazy!

[aldie 22]

some peaks of sunshine but still mostly cloudy and muggy

[Eskimo Joe]

Some peeks of blue sky in Gaithersburg.

[87storms]

This is “bring two shirts to the bball court” weather.

[North Balti Zen]

Looks like a decent line or storms /rain in a few hours or so for the 95-corridor folks.

[aldie 22]

rain incoming

I was curious about that as well so went and snooped around in Google Maps. Seems like the stuff coming off the roof was just from the roof itself sending all rainwater to the new low spot after the wall failed. This is a pretty good example of older construction that likely wouldn't get permitted today (at least not in VA). You're right that the building was effectively a dam... look at where it's located in the local landscape. 

 

 

Red = apartment building, Teal = drainage area

 

The uphill side is basically a swimming pool too, with the curb likely not high enough to contain the water in the street from spilling over. Drainage for the lot seems to be a grate drain (teal rectangle) and an ~18" overflow pipe (teal dot) going under/through the building. Both could have been partially clogged, especially the grate. Really poor civil design here overall.

Enjoy the rain and stay safe!

Meso guidance all has been suggesting any rain or storms we get is after 0z. Marine wedge hangs tougher in June than it does in freaking February…
