August Discobs 2025

Pretty crazy in extreme NE Maryland and Northern DE.

Pouring here, with booms of thunder, lost power twice already, luckily it came back on rather quickly.

0.03 for the day

5 rain drops and living in a tropical rain forest tonight.

0.01" for the day. Driving around a little this evening was rainier, but just shows how spotty it was.

Anyone want my .01 I got today.

Saw my gauge got about 0.2”.  Was ok with that until I looked at the radar estimates of over 4” just a few miles away.  Alas.

Hit 101 on the car thermometer today near SLC.  Dusty as hell.  Think I prefer the humidity in DC.

A giant 0.05 this morning in the gauge, guess that is better than a goose egg. Muggy, muggy past 24 hours! 67.2/66.4 at 7:45 am this morning with some patchy fog, 66.1 low.

Better than my T on the north side of town

The 00z CAMs were quite bullish on afternoon convection, especially over central Maryland, but the 06z NAM Nest and recent HRRR runs have backed way off.

Will be interesting to see storm development in the next few hours on the upper Eastern Shore, maybe some interactions from earlier storm outflows. 

Storms are developing East of Baltimore and West of the Aberdeen Proving Ground. 

This did work out for some areas of the upper Eastern Shore last evening. Chesapeake City with over 2 inches, my location with 1.50 inches.

Wow you usually fair better than I do down here. 

That being said my FIL is coming up next week. He is the one who helped me dig up a small street side patch of dead grass and roll sod down back in April when they were here. He will arrive seeing that it has yet again a patch of dead grass.

I have the 'usual' spots (under the deep tree canopy, lack of sun and trees sucking up all the water and nutrients) that have browned out in last week or so, otherwise an amazing year for grass here!
