Hugelkultur bed is thriving....Actually, everything is doing pretty well. Plants are loving these brilliant sunny days. Peas

Yeah, the C MD split has been frustrating today....we'll see what happens with the stuff west of Winchester. A quick downpour here (maybe 30 seconds) dropped the temp 10 degrees.

Slugs are out in full force with the damp and humid weather. Read an article last year that manual removal of slugs on a regular basis is the best prevention. After many attempts using every realistic method out there this ended up proving most effective. I was outside with a headlamp every night picking slugs of our plants. Unfortunately, it was too little too late last year....the damage was already done to the cabbage and broccoli. Instead of waiting for the attack during spring this year I started throwing green cabbage leaves from the grocery store into the gardens. I was able to remove almost 2 dozen slugs from the gardens this evening that were snacking on the cabbage leaves. It took me about a week last year to really reduce the population...I am hoping this method will at least give me a solid head start this year and hopefully make the difference. Would love to have a healthy cabbage and broccoli harvest this year. Plants are looking healthy so far...All that can change in one night though if I'm not vigilant.

Smart.. And I should know better. I was able to to save everything. A few burnt leaves here and there but nothing that will kill the plant. One... Maybe 2 more nights to contend with. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I shouldnt have planted....but I did. Ive got my work cut out for me tonight after the rain ends. Should be fun at 9pm trying to get everything covered. I am hoping the wind keeps us from a hard freeze. Freaking ridiculous man...

06z euro with a slightly slower progression as well....Pretty consistent the last few runs for a 2-3" region-wide rain maker. Novice question....do you, or anyone, have any resources you can point me towards to help me understand how to assess the risk of severe from a sounding and other parameters? I do understand the basics but the more I become interested in severe and heavy rains the more complex it seems compared to winter weather. Never thought I would become interested in severe...but, it seems to have grown on me.

Any potential for wed night/thurs? Looks like the 3k has a nasty line coming through WV around midnight....some training looks possible with the slow eastward push.

Looks like a bit of rotation just south of Burkittsville md....I swear that area gets spin ups all the time.

Not really...a good thunderstorm with all the ingredients except for the wind...30-35mph maybe with the storm.

Constant thunder to the west... Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Really surprised at the temp jump...clouds have moved back in. Capped at 74.8 for now.

Up to 73....feels ripe outside

Look like its on a beeline for @WVclimo

Those cells are finally showing some life coming out of WV...Feeding off that break in the clouds?

Full sun here now...plenty of blue skies to my west. Temp rising quick with the sun out...up 2 degrees in the past 15 minutes. 64.9

Just lost a large cedar tree in the yard...the wind roared just as the precip was ending.

Funny, I was up last night and saw your post....I actually thought about it on the way into the office this morning. I'm curious also....the thunder was crazy at our house. Could hail deflect sound if the situation is just right?

Almost 10 days out...I am fine with the gfs. It seems to be making baby steps each run in the right direction. We have gotten rid of the GL low that was on earlier runs and now made a move toward more HP in SE Can.

Yeah....Either the gfs is up to its usual games or the idea of blocking in that region is just being picked up on again as we get closer. H180 is even more robust...

Most, if not all frozen...

06z EPS with another incremental nudge in the right direction...A tick slower so will have to keep an eye on that trend as well. 06/00z

yeah...much better CAD signal....stronger high that holds on longer. The clown maps are misleading I think because it slowed things down just a bit and the run ends at 144...as you noted.

GFS not backing down on the mega NAO block as we near D10. A sight to see for sure.....

Got it...much appreciated. So, in determining the general idea of where the split flow is....flowing, you are looking for where the height lines deviate from that uniform look?
