All Activity

High of 70. Now down to 55. The backdoor front/easterly flow changes things quickly this time of year.

Pope has been drinking plenty of beer

The spring of yore just begun. Hide yo wife and kids and get yo rowboats ready. Al gore is coming out of hiding to say, i told ya so while uncle stein hides under the bed watching his rain gauge slowly fill up with chilly rain drops! Spring in New England is truly a sight to behold.

Hours of sleep?

Cut the lawn this evening, now a nice shower...perfect timing!

It has been frustrating lately. I think it’s a combo of that stable easterly flow off the cold Atlantic ruining our precip dynamics on days like today and bad luck where the lines setup when the flow turns around to the southwest. .

we 1 to 3

Not even flakes.

All it does in Frederick now is rain.

You aren’t getting 1-3 with those temps.

That’s 1-3”

Next week doesn't look too bad. Maybe a little sun later in the day on Tuesday. Forecast says we should be out of the 30s by noon. Great time to get a jump on the installs.

Toss HRRR. It’s like 34-35. Maybe a slushy coating.

Looks like we will warmup after the storm next weekend

There has been a shift in the the tropical cyclone tracks since the 1990s. From the late 1930s into the early 1990s the hurricanes were being directed further up the coast due to the weaker ridge near and to the north of New England. This is why Hurricane Bob in 1991 was the last hurricane to cross the coast in New England. Also the reason the last hurricane to cross the coast on Long Island was Gloria in 1985. There hasn’t been a major hurricane landfall north of Florida or Georgia since 1996. All the major hurricane landfalls since 1996 have been in the Gulf and the East Coast of Florida. My guess is that the much stronger ridge east of New England which has resulted in the stronger summer onshore flow and higher dewpoints has been steering most of the tropical activity to our south. Even Sandy curved into SNJ instead of crossing the coast further north on Long Island or Eastern New England. So it will be interesting to see how much longer this steering pattern continues.

Fortunes being made, hence the crickets and bipartisan support of israel

Healthy and blooming rough, better on the fence than your house i guess

Higher elevation snows on Tuesday possible, also snow showers to the far NW. A secondary cold front Monday night may end up moving through our area with little in the way of precipitation with it as the deeper moisture is shoved offshore with the earlier front. Given the strength of the incoming upper-level trough however, cannot ruled out some lingering light rain showers (snow showers across the far northwest) Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Low temperatures by Tuesday morning will be mainly in the 30s. While temperatures in the mid 30s are forecast all the way south into Delmarva, it will be too windy and dry for any frost formation.

I had a high of 82 today. That's late June temperatures, but boy what a change is coming!

I'm driving back home all day tomorrow, so I hope I can get home before the heavier rain comes. We need it though.

we had one shower last week, otherwise it's been bone dry as the storms have missed my backyward by (literally) a mile. storms are popping now but i doubt I'll get any rain. maybe tomorrow. 71/62 with a high of 74.

Where's a torch when you need it?
