This is gonna miss me, isn’t it?
-
Need to break free of my clingy kid to actually experience some rain tonight.
-
Bingo. And it'll heat up to 90 degrees and be a sauna all evening.
-
That's good to hear. Need moar. Definitely need something to get deep down into the soil.
-
If it's only going to knock the dust down, then yeah...I'll be angry. We need *real* rain, yoda.
-
So I'm guessing we're on sun watch today?
-
Yeah...but what's so neat about it?
-
My call for tomorrow: - Central and Northern Maryland and up through central PA get raked - Richmond to just south of Fredericksburg and a bit to their west get raked - Burke gets enough thunder to close the pool, an outflow boundary comes through and sets off storms just to the west, then they train up through very northern Fairfax, Loudoun, and Montgomery Counties. I get left with a couple drops of spittle that leave pocky dust marks on the cars.
-
It's all about the cold pool.
-
No doubt. The hydrangeas that get more sun than others would be dead or nearly so if I hadn't watered them intermittently (and somewhat heavily) in the last couple weeks.
-
So you're saying that our "severe events" are usually way overhyped?
-
I hear ya. We've had essentially no rain since the second-to-last weekend of July (so around the 22nd or so), which was when we were slated to get at least a couple inches of rain over the weekend and into the beginning of the following week. I think we had 0.20" from that whole event, which puts us at nearly three weeks since our last measurable rain. Added to that, we were definitely drier than normal in early July, as well, so it's been pretty rough going. I hate complaining about this stuff, but it's getting super frustrating.
-
I don't care because I know it won't amount to jack s**t IMBY. Enjoy, central and northern Maryland...
-
I can tell you exactly where that boundary will not be placed...
-
Interesting. I’d have thought the area around you would be a little less orange. I’m definitely in that orange pixel south of Fairfax City though. It’s incredibly dry here right now. Lots of wilted shrubs, with a fairly healthy leaf drop, to boot.
-
That doesn’t include the Wednesday “event,” does it?
-
Thanks. I think I (and you) deserve to vent a bit.
-
How about me?
-
Wife said it very lightly sprinkled for a couple minutes. She’s as annoyed as I am. No sign of moisture anywhere when I got off the train.

Centreville and locales are getting smashed, but it's gonna slide a mile or two to my north. You just watch. My feeling of discouragement is at a peak right now.
-
Color me skeptical. I've watched too many fringes recently...
-
So...what do you think, yoda? We gonna get missed again?
