Cell east of FDK looks interesting in Maryland

I'm surprised to see this intensity and this widespread of a thunderstorm event. There's lots of lightning crashing all around here in the lowlands. Bring on the rain. We need it.

We've also had 9 days so far this year with lows of 60+F

An impressively warm April.

Ominous clouds to the west of the Fairfax Courthouse. Radar unclear if the rain will hit or miss.

[kgottwald]

Smells like rain but no precip yet. Overcast plus the low dewpoint making it feel downright cool.

[kgottwald]

Thunder to the south

Raindrops on the sidewalk.

Close but nada. High 76, 73 now.

[kgottwald]

Sun came back out.

Neither the NWS nor the WeatherBug radars seem to be all that accurate as to where the rain is actually hitting the ground.

10/10 weather the last couple days.  Disappointed about the weekend forecast, but getting that 3rd nice day in a row is not usually easy here until we get to May.

Well I should know better. Got all excited for the what was forecasted a decent soaker for today and planted some containers on the deck. Was also going to lay down some grass felt. And poof 90% with a trace of rain shows up. So that in my mind translates to England spittle. Glad I did not get to laying any grass felt at least I can just water my containers. I will say one thing though. After several years of dealing with a lack of rain I have curated some amazing drought tolerant perennials in my gardens. Sedums which look like they should need a lot of water love the dry. And got to love Catmint. Gets you green with small blooms.

Feels like a wedge this morning.

Latest WB 9Z NBM continues the overnight trend with less precipitation this weekend.  Very disappointing....
