nw baltimore wx Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Finally saw the first lightning bug of the season! I’m sitting on the patio with a whiskey(s) and a few flying around, so I expect they’ll be out in force with a little heat this weekend.

Retired life is good We've worked hard the past decade to let our lawn grow longer, end bad chemical usage, and increase native plants to boost our lightning bugs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 4 hours ago, MillvilleWx said: US Drought Monitor is a contracted service with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with decades of AG experience. The composite for the area has actually shown improvement from week to week after the last period of rainfall leading to a downgrade in category from Extreme to Severe at a higher prevalence. The top soil layer is only part of the equation and it takes more than 5-7" of rain to combat a persistent deep layer soil moisture pitfall. It took a step in the right direction this go around compared to what has been occurring. I can tell you don't like government bodies by this response and I for one have issues with some government entities as well because I want to hold governments at all levels to a higher standard, however the work done from top to bottom in this industry is critical in maintaining a positive report with the AG industry which spans far and wide across the U.S. This group is consistently praised by the decision-makers at large and anecdotal evidence from a small part of a bigger picture does not represent the entire story. We can agree to disagree, but I thought the map made sense from all the data I have parsed, which I do on the daily while I'm on the job. The two inch soil values have crashed statewide. We really need another 1"-2" of rain in the next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Out at the cabin in Garrett there's a thunderstorm watch just issued and I checked the radar and it looks like a pretty solid line heading this direction. 72F, sunny and windy out now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The amount of rain is rather pitiful with this line moving through (0.15") but did have a 66 MPH gust that did some minor tree damage. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Punchy storm moving thru…enough to knock the power out. Heard the transformer blow. We’re still good at increased storm chances when there’s actually humidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re still good at increased storm chances when there’s actually humidity. Line like predicted is splitting right over me. Light winds and some spotty rain. Knew I should not have looked at radar. And look at that it has re-connected to my East. Getting a lot of thunder now so I guess I will take that as my consolation prize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Looks like the storm that went though here are gonna be just north of home back in Calvert. Ain't no surprise. Up here we had very heavy wind, I can believe the 65mph gust. We did luck into some heavy rain for about 20mins. I need to get a weather station for up here so I can measure this stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Line of severe storms pushed through here (Deep Creek) around 4p - T&L, strong winds, and heavy, heavy rain. Currently sunny, breezy, and 67 degrees - gorgeous weather sitting on the deck. Looks like more severe storms to the west crossing into WV/PA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I had a nice rainstorm, but no lightning and thunder so technically speaking I still haven't had 1st thunderstorm of the year, despite 4 high risk days (SPC). This one was severe thunderstorm warned, don't know why. The sky was dark but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM tries to bring a few storms across our region this afternoon. Looks like slim pickings but it's a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
