    Severe warned at Crofton, plenty of thunder here (a mile away), but little else. Seems to be passing just north. Update; 30 mins later finally got intense rain. Over 1" so far. Lots of thunder, somewhere nearby got it big I bet.

    https://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/d/ellicott-city-champion-generator-new/7508793940.html Never wanted to have a genset around, but got a good deal on one years ago and it has saved lots of food. (Especially if you include the neighbors who have sent a cable over for their freezer too)

    I think I was deleting my comment as you were typing. Took me a bit to find that Enhanced map.

    My neighbors also had the 4 trees in a row uprooted, (but I didn't want to mention it because I don't have pictures ), but this storm was worse than I, for one, had expected. EDIT: I deleted my comment. Scroll back far enough and SPC has an Enhanced call for the B-W corridor. College Park was right in the center. Pretty good call, looking back.

    This is a poplar that destroyed my neighbor's deck. Uprooted, not broken. Had pea size hail at 18:30 , several other uprooted trees on our street. 1.44" hvy rain. BGE came back on at 1:00am. Drove to Staples Corner and had to return by Rte 50. Two routes closed by trees and wires, one by flooding (450, as if we all didn't know)

    Pea size here. Branches. Hvy rn. Power out.

    It varies. Looking back the past 6 years to 2016, IAD was the winner last year and 2019 (which was a tie with BWI at 100)..BWI wins in 2018 & 2020, and ties in 2017 & 2019. DCA wins in 2016 and ties with BWI in 2017. So... (that wasn't particularly well written was it?)...bottom line: in the past 6 years, IAD wins outright last year only. Only looking at a 1 degree difference most years, but in 2017 and 2018 IAD was 95 & 96 while the others were 98 & 99.

    I have similar issues with my tipping bucket Davis gauge, but am fortunate to have a little clear spot for my traditional gauge. My way of making a late report for last night... The Davis read 1.74 and the normal gauge 2.33. I tried that link Cape provided, and it said 2.30. Not bad at all! When the leaves are off the trees for winter rains, the gauges agree much closer, sometimes exactly.

    Never looked very impressive on radar. Maybe I'm missing something. Plenty of T&L here, but that's all so far.

    For the Derecho..... This NWS product is worth looking at. A lot of effort must've gone into this. Impressive graphics. Link from the LWX page.... http://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a86e8fc4fc814521b127602feb33db10

    3.67" total for June Max temp 92f; lowest 49 (!)
  14. GramaxRefugee
    Both leading to cold, winters. 9-10 snowiest winter on record. Feb 2015 2nd coldest on record (BWI)

    (Anecdote alert) I used to use a tarp-like cover on my air conditioner unit in winter. In 2009, I didn't even have to uncover the A/C until late June, and I only ran it just before the July 4 holiday just to make sure it was working before the inevitable hot weather arrived. BWI temp departures May thru Oct: -0.7, -2.1, -3.7, +0.4, -2.6, -2.1 (Only Aug was positive) BWI didn't hit 90f until July 12. Hit 94 a few days later, and that was the highest temp of the summer. Remarkable summer, by our standards. This year has been rather cool, but we've already had highs in the upper 90s. Not really comparable IMO.

    57/53 with blue skies. shockingly pleasant
  17. GramaxRefugee
    72f low Monday a.m. My highest low this summer I think. Bit strange; DP in the 60s still.
  18. GramaxRefugee
    Only got up to 69f today, and that was a cheap midnight high (I think) 0.68" rain, mostly a.m. Only 2 days this month have hit 90f here. (So far)
  19. GramaxRefugee
    I think BWI claimed 51, and I see the record at 52 (in 2005). edit: And I noticed similar, (but not close to 48 hrs), in 1954, when the record min hit 48 on the 19th and the record max hit 99 on the 26th. more: 1954 also still holding several heat records in July, Sept, Oct. including 102 on July 31. Leading to a rather snowless winter and cool March. Sound familiar? Ugh.
  20. GramaxRefugee
    49 Monday morning low.
  21. GramaxRefugee
    Yup. I can't believe I clicked on it at first. And now I keep coming back like a voyeuristic addict. 29" BWI 32" IAD 23" DCA 24" RIC
  22. GramaxRefugee
    Morning T-storm offered plenty of thunder but not much else until one close zap at about 6:30, plus about 0.26" rain. Currently overcast.
  23. GramaxRefugee
    67f for my high (dang!) 0.05" from numerous showers Overcast all day
  24. GramaxRefugee
    0.25" for yesterday and overnight.
  25. GramaxRefugee
    Getting a strong second round here in Annapolis. CG. Bit of hail. Smaller than pea so far. Very dark sky
