August Discobs 2025

[Interstate]

Nice rolling thunder out there... Looks like I am getting ready to get by that line in Baltimore County

[frd]

Getting hit hard again by a cluster of thunderstorms. The area of heavy rain is generally moving SE.  

[87storms]

Hardly any rain here…becoming very reminiscent of last summer and probably ‘23 as well.

Complete opposite here. I've probably had close to 2" and steadily pouring. It's been a swamp here all summer. I'd love a dry spell. Looks like chances of rain for the next week. That means nothing there and storms everyday here lol

[Interstate]

0.08 here in 21057 for the day.

[WxUSAF]

Got sorta skipped but about 0.25”

[dailylurker]

1.60" and getting ready to get hammered again. And there's the flash flood warning. This is  probably the 5th flooding event I've had since July first. 

[BlizzardNole]

Got 0.20 which isn't much for normal areas but it's the first measurable rain in weeks in the desert.  Some of our streets look like it's October with all the leaves piling up.  I've had only 1.6 inches since July 2

I got lucky today with that line that popped up. 0.33” at home while I was driving around. Much better than the 0.01” I got yesterday.

Another nothing burger. Barely enough to wet the ground yesterday, and another disintegrating line moving this way. Still at 0.63" for the month, which fell 2 weeks ago tomorrow.

Do I care? Not really. Plants are ok, grass is mostly dead as usual, and I'm going to plant clover in a couple weeks.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Got a brief shower earlier.  6 minutes total and picked up .25".  That's the first time I've seen puddles, wet under trees and bushes, and water flowing in the street gutters since July 16th. 

There's a lot of leaf dropping around here.

 

[frd]

Well, luck was needed, and it delivered. 

Between yesterday's storms and this afternoon's storms, that were very impressive, a total of 2.52 inches. 

Scanning nearby areas that are only a few miles away, Middletown, the actual town .86 , Townsend .32, Odessa .85

Was a game of just miles.     

[dailylurker]

I got crushed.  2.15" I'm a little dry biased because of a project I've got going right now. I needed dry weather lol

Yes that was an enjoyable sunset.

[GramaxRefugee]

1.52" this afternoon's storm.

You know what was cool? Being completely missed again yesterday.  Crunchy grass is good, right?

0.90" over the last 30 days IMBY 

[frd]

80/70 this morning. Been way worse than that the past weeks.

Various surf models with 5 to 10 foot waves on Thursday, as the peak day for swells from Erin. Stellar surfing day, but admit you got to be strong will to do so. 

For today across all beaches a low risk of ripe tides. 

For Saturday from Mount Holly 

 

For Saturday, northeast winds will be around 10 mph with
breaking waves around 2 feet. There will be a light easterly
swell with a period of 4 to 5 seconds. As a result, there is a
LOW risk for the development of dangerous and life threatening
rip currents at the Jersey Shore and at Delaware Beaches on
Saturday.

It is REALLY impressive how we miss on days like the last two days. Almost a complete whiff at the farm too.

For sure!  The CoCoRaHS observations for the last 30 days.  That's me with the 0.90" in Frederick.  Your area looks well watered 

[Jrlg1181]

Only 0.02 for the month to date.... following a big July..

Grass looks the best its looked in a couple months though, brown moldy spots disappearing...

Streams coming out of the southern National Park in both eastern Augusta and western Albemarle are running very low though - especially since its August and everything is still green/growing and using water...

The humidity to rain ratio has been approaching infinity here lately.

[Interstate]

That storm in northern Carroll Co is just not moving.

Sudden pop-up shower over Fairfax City. Pouring at GMU right now. But patches of blue sky are still visible!

Similarly here. Snagged a pop up shower. Didn’t get cored, but enough to water the gardens.
