July Discobs 2026

[Interstate]

I feel like @dailylurker anymore with these thunderstorm.

I'm really tired of overcast 70-degree-dewpoint mornings. Isn't the front ever going to come through?

[BlizzardNole]

Got 0.15 to add to the 0.25 from Thursday.  Calvert with a departure of -7.0 inches for the year is the worst in the region west of the Bay.  And now there's no chance for rain in sight.  Crushing drought continues

Raining hard here again- every day since July 4 has now had measurable rainfall IMBY

[87storms]

If you play hoops, then you know that this is goat-level weather (near 80, mostly cloudy/partly sunny, and mostly calm winds). I loved the desert sun, but it was breezy (unusually breezy) and obviously dry almost every day.

The bay/river boundary pushing across ffx county is desperately trying to get a storm going up over Reston. Have watched it grow for the past 10 minutes.

Fun watching the showers/t-storms rolling WEST in a line from Front Royal to almost Lynchburg this afternoon, lol. Everything out this way seems to just be stationary, MAYBE a slight WSW movement. Although I've only had .25-.30 here since noon, 10 miles to my south has had 2-4 INCHES of rain and a FFW until 7:45 pm.

Summer convection is so fickle. The plot of soil moisture anomalies is pretty textbook across the eastern half of the country. Tons of sporadic wet/dry signals within close proximity to each other. Only a few larger areas noteworthy for widespread wet top layer soil conditions. Need a broader synoptic scale disturbance to provide a more widespread convective threat followed by stratiform to get things to be evenly distributed. Could use one of those remnant tropical disturbances that have been lacking in these parts, outside that sweep over from Ida.

0.01 northern Waynesboro - very heavy rain just to my south again...

1.24 for the 9 days of storms.. southern 3/4 of Waynesboro soaked repeatedly....

My humidity at 10pm is 59% and that’s been over 10 days since under60% at 10.

               One thing that makes it so difficult to even distribute summer rain here in the east is the inability to have nighttime MCC events.    Over the Plains, you can easily put down 1-2" over a large area with one of those systems, but we so rarely get EMLs here that MCCs can't survive the trip east.
