She is all about the O's and Ravens. Tampa Bay can and will pluck those birds every time.

I'll be at my girl friends in Baltimore this weekend. It's a new and exciting relationship ,so I can predict with 100% accuracy it will be hot and steamy on North Charles St. this weekend.

Yes, I planned and packed for high water many times this summer only to get shafted by the forecast.

In really dry summers the graphs will flatline for the summer sometimes for almost the whole year. I use these graphs to know when and where to go fishing in the Susquehanna Valley. I do relize some where much dryer than others.

I've been gardening, landscaping, and kayaking central PA. For 30 years. The creeks have been much lower and ground as been a hell of alot dryer in most areas in past years. Water did not cease to flow over any Yellow Breaches, Conawago ,or Conestoga dams yet this year. That's how you know when there is severe area wide drought.

The smoke is as bad as it has been through out the whole event at the moment 11:49PM. The timing is exactly the same as last night, so far. It defiantly seams to be worse at night. Maybe the air cools aloft, and the smoke falls . I know nothing about wiled fire smoke dynamics. Can anyone here enlighten ?

The smoke really moved in thick over night. I have never seen or smelled wild fire smoke like this . Visibility and air quality was way down from 10:00PM until 2:00AM. Conditions then improved for a few hours,but around 4:30AM viability, and air quality appear, and smell to be deteriorating again.

We had some hail stones up to quarter size here in Fairview township. Miner damage to cars, and roofs. Enjoy the smokey skies the next few days, and pray for storms.

@mahantango#1After The soil has been dry for 3 to 4 days, If you want send me 1/2 cup of soil to 200 Tall Oak dr. New Cumberland Pa. 17070 . No need for a return address I will message you the results.

I have personally never had stratification issues from bulbs but I guess its possible seeing it was a very warm winter. How did the bulbs do that where there for 5 years ? You should check the soils electrical conductivity and Ph to make sure its in range for what you are growing. If you would like to send me a soil sample I have a professional Ec and ph meter. You can get meters for under $50.00 but there not that accurate. I have a blue lab ec/ph combo meter that I calibrate every few weeks.

It was to much to fast here but I am still getting light rain out my way. I would think I am at 1" inch here easy. The big Cats will be biting in the creeks tonight out my way. Going to watch hydrology and probably head out on my kayak and get them sob's at the crack of dawn.

I was not thinking severe . Just a few rumbles and some rain would be nice atp. Thanks Bubbler.

Any new organic gardeners in here not familiar with nutrient lockout I suggest you look it up. Often confused with nutrient burn but unlike burn it can, and needs to be fixed with calcium flushings or it will continue.

@mahantango#1 I believe you made a post a few weeks ago about bulbs you planted that did not have healthy looking vegetative growth this season . That's not uncommon at all. Last year was not a great year to establish roots depending on when you planted them. You did nothing wrong they will look better next year. A lot of plant grown from bulbs don't have high nutrient requirements so don't over feed trying to push them to health, you could lock them out or worse burn them.

@Bubbler86 seeing anything wet or interesting for later today or tonight . I see some week northeast moving instability popping up in southeastern Pa extending back my way in a capped environment . Still plenty of time to destabilize but not much around to tap into it yet, but heights are falling I think lol. Need some work in that department yet.

Still looking pretty nuts with some new cells initiating down there

The first cell approaching farmville Va looks very suspicious. But all those storms seam like they mean business atp

Yes the storms in Va are getting nasty fast. One storm just had one hell of a hail core on it. Several have taken super cell form . I got to get back to work . Have a great day .

I couldn't find soundings close to the area of 3000j/kg but the closest station has some veering at around 3km.

missed Va with 3000j/kg looking at Delaware.

Southern Delawere and Md are looking ripe again yet today. Yesterday they had surface cape of nearly 2000j/kg but nothing around to tap the energy. Today is a different story 1000-2000j/kg at the surface atm with a breaking cap. The good news is the winds are not turning with height nearly as much as the other day. They do seam primed for downdrafts if I'm reading meso downdraft map correctly .

I was hoping to get to see a little more lightning than I got tonight . Seems like I did a little better then some. Probably got a little less than 1/4" of rain and maybe 20-25 strikes within earshot. Any nocturnal storm before may is always a win in my book ,and I have had several in the last few weeks .

I had no Idea storm chaser Joel Taylor died of an overdose in 2018. I always suspected Reed timmers and crew where on cocaine or stimulants of some kind in the early years. Reed was always tweeked as shit you could see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice an he was always sweating at his temples. Taylor, 38, had a fatal mix of drugs in his system, according to a toxicology report by the Institute of Forensic Sciences of Puerto Rico in January which was obtained on Friday.MDMA (also known as ecstasy) along with Zolpidem (a version of Ambien), ketamine (an anesthetic) and MDA (a psychedelic amphetamine) were found in his system at the time of his death, according to the report

The storms in Mo and Ar are starting to form Hail Cores and finding better rotation but I have not seen a hook or ball yet tonight. Chasers are complaining about the radar down there so maybe I just cant see the hooks.
