0.10" from an afternoon storm here brought me to a half-an-inch for the weekend. Best thing was Saturday's and today's storms featured some heavy downpours. Good root-soaking for the veggies.

83/65 so far today, but DP is 61 with 73 degrees right now. Might challenge the 65 low before midnight.

missed every storm here in Boyce this month. just a trace for june and the december sod installed it mostly brown.

no mowing for another week at least and lots of watering the new landscaping.

.88 out at my cabin in WV with several stronger storms going north and south

will take the windows open and AC off for a few days

It's a throwback reference to Weather53/Dadkind, who had this to say on the 40S forum:

One of the region's respected forecasters (Weather53 on Eastern; Dadkind on 40S), has a pet theory that the supposed increased use of ethanol in the DC area causes precipitation to weaken/disappear when it approaches the beltway.

Thanks for the explanation!

Your theory seems reasonable but using corn for fuel is the most retarded idea to ever be conceived, because it can cause food shortages if the demand is too high. Good way to kill two birds with one stone is to simply stop using ethanol.

To be clear, this is not my theory. I've yet to see any empirical data to support Wx53's theory, and I've found no support for the claim that the use of ethanol in DC is significantly higher than in other metro areas.

it's good there arent many people in the northern plains since every station serves an ethanol mixture -- potential angry chasers if storms are randomly dying
