  1. It's a good way to thumb your nose at authority.
  2. There are so many fireworks going off in my neighborhood that my Tempest thinks it's raining from the ashfall. This is insane.
  3. EDIT: 18z GFS has +23°C air at 850, +30° at 925, and a west wind. Definitely possible to hit 100° at BWI, DCA, and IAD with that.
  4. This year has been a complete dud in the severe weather department.
  5. Looks like that's it for tonight. Hope we get some more rain. Was really hoping for at least a half inch . . .
  6. Radar gives us Mason-Dixon folks some hope? Maybe that activity over Chambersburg can drift south?
  7. I really hope we get a couple of remnants this year. We need the rain, and not all at once.
  8. Yea we need a solid 2.5 to 4 inches of rain spread out over a 24 to 48 hour period.
  9. Frostburg mesonet site got down to 52 degrees last night. Impressive.
  10. Classic day of decent lightning and probably some real nice downpours.
  11. Looks like Liz Leitman is on the desk at SPC today. She's solid. Should be a good day for you all.
  12. Great question. Mesonets are actually hard to design and implement. There are many moving parts and startup funds are often difficult to come by. In Maryland we benefit from having a science minded electorate and state legislature, as well as small number of counties. This results in a project getting off the ground quickly. As for other networks, Wisconsin is building out their mesonet pretty quickly, and Pennsylvania has their first 8 sites going in the ground this summer. I've heard several rumors that Maine is starting one up, but I can't find any official source on that.
  13. Happy Sunday. We got another station online.
  14. Hey Baltimore metro folks!
  15. No significant impacts in Maryland from a nearby TC or TC remnants.
  16. Man the CAMs have blown chunks the past week.
