Yeah...but wake them up when it arrives!

Remnants of PTC8: Drought Denting Rain Event

Radar looks to be fattening up a little bit to the southeast over the lower Potomac/middle Chesapeake and aiming northwest. -
Remnants of PTC8: Drought Denting Rain Event

^ I'll take the NAM -
I refuse to care at all about long-range/seasonal model predictions. Accuracy has always been an issue in the best of times, but if the last few years has taught me anything, it's that we should be even more wary of these very long-range progs than we have been in the past.

There's a poop reaction emoji now?!

I’m playing in a golf tournament on Friday, so let’s leave the rain for a little later in the day. Thanks.

Closest CoCoRaHs recorded 1.95", which I think tracks given that we got nicked by that super heavy downpour in the morning and then had decent rains for quite a while in the evening (never got the really heavy stuff). Misting out there now.
-
About to get smashed by that…I think.

Some really cool strikes setting off car alarms in my neighborhood.

I think I might get crushed by that. Might…

That extended to MBY in Burke. Yeah...good storm. Plenty of T&L and heavy rain right now.
-
Are you in that one or are you just on the eastern edge? I need that complex to either sag south about 8 miles or build over me!
-
Got nicked by that little popup line about 30 minutes ago or so. Pleasant little surprise that should make things really f'ing muggy soon enough!
-
Ended with about 0.6" yesterday here in my little corner of Burke. Quick hitter, but it dumped. Hoping we have decent weather for the last weekend of the neighborhood pool, then next week it's looking like an acceptable week for the pool to be closed (seems like it's always the other way around!).

"No one can figure out why the Atlantic Ocean is cooling at record speed" Ummm...that's easy. The volcanoes are no longer active.
-
Not according to the DoOm MeRcHaNtS!!
-
Only reason I'd want it warmer is to take advantage of the last couple weeks of the neighborhood pool being open. Friday evening and Saturday should be great.
-
Totally missed this point. Thanks for the research into it!
-
Exactly. 76 on August 20 isn't wild in and of itself, but the fact that it only got to 76 without precip and/or thick cloud cover is what makes it impressive.
-
The stretch in 1992 saw measurable precip on every day from August 12-18 except for the 14th, which had a Trace, so I'm guessing there were plenty of clouds during that entire 7-day period. My point is that a having day with partly cloudy skies only get to 76 at DCA is incredibly impressive. Add in a similar day today and you have to admire that!
-
I wonder how many of those were reached on days without full clouds and precip. It's also more impressive that this was done on August 20 and not later in the month.

Kids are back to school today, and while it's nice to have a lack of chaos while working at home, there wasn't any adjustment to a different routine because only 9 1/2 weeks of summer break didn't *really* set a new routine. It honestly feels almost like they never even finished last school year. It was an incredibly busy summer, so maybe that's part of it - just lots happening and no set routine other than 6 weeks of swim!
-
Surprised to see about 0.25" recorded by a couple nearby CoCoRaHs. I guess it rained hard for those 10 minutes or so last night!
-
All globals have ~1" locally through Tuesday. Of course it won't be a standard inch everywhere, but at least there's reasonable precip potential.
-
Exactly. He's also just a great person, which I think will endear him to lots of people as the World Cup hype starts ramping up as we get closer to 2026.
