Sun seems more like actual sun and not a weird apocalyptic sun, this morning. Had to make a call about going to Hershey today, smoke looks to start clearing up there midday and storms not until way later, so we’re going. 

Have fun, check out the road runners in the zoo!

The rain that fell last week around DC wasn’t enough to keep up with climo.  DCA now -7.44” ytd.

I'm about 3 miles into my hike here in Crownsville. When i first started about 80 minutes ago I could smell it and it looked nasty. Now the sun is breaking out and the smoke is thinning out.

Not at home but heard my Capital Weather lightning detected near my location go off this morning at 4:15. Looked at radar to see my house getting hit with a very nice robust cell followed by another one. Picked up .61” from that early morning round.

Come on mama nature, flood me

I'm literally standing somewhere exactly like the flash flood watch is describing. Bacon Ridge run (fresh waster spring 200 feet upstream) it was dry last time i was through here. It's super tropical out here. Flood me.

Out this morning myself on a hike

Today is my first day off in almost a month. I've got a Lord of the Rings concert in Baltimore tonight, and we're getting wings at the Dive beforehand. Naturally, we're staring at a busy weather day.

That concert indoors?  I know there's another concert at Ravens stadium tonight and that could get interesting with big t-storms.

85/78 here with the blue sky starting to show with southerly winds pushing the smoke out.

It's inside, but I have bad luck of getting recalled for work when I finally get a date day with the wife.
