Well while Mother Nature did not provide, Pandora did. Fell asleep to my Thunderstorm rain station last night. Props to those who got some rain and thunder.

In Calvert I'm at about 100ft and the cabin is just over 3k ft.

My observation here is about 10 degrees per 1000 ft. . Sounds about right for here.

When cold air aloft is moving in from the west to north.

At other times, 3-5 degrees per 1000 ft..  Observations based on frequent visitation to a location 20 miles northwest at 4400 ft. which is about 3000 ft. higher than my 1400 ft. elevation at home.

When a warm front is knocking from the southwest it can be warmer at 4400 ft..

Oh, Nice catch! There was a band of clouds there pretty much all night, blocked the longwave radiation cooling. Likely also prevented a sturdier inversion from developing and calming the winds at the surface.

Please, and thank you.

The trend should be our friend in the rainfall dept. next week. Latest 4 model blend gives Augusta 1.50 next week and latest 7 day WPC gives 1.50 - 2.00", though it only counts when in the bucket.

Water table in the Valley has dropped 10 ft. since early August.......................................
