WxUSAF Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Awesome! I'm sorry that I couldn't make it up there last night. Looks like it would have been fun. It was awesome. We had far more people than we thought we would...probably ~500 showed up. I was tracking this clearing patch of sky all the way south from near the PA/NY border throughout the day, and it showed up right on time at about 6:35pm.

snowfan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Very nice outside today. A bit warmer than yesterday and just enough blue sky to brighten things up. I'm ready for what should be a beautiful weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Rained fairly steady this morning, but finally cleared out. Has a fall-like feel in the air right now with a hint of chilliness when the breeze blows. Good weather for open windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the heat arrives this weekend I think it is probably here for good...we may get a reprieve for some of July, but 87/69 for example is not much of a reprieve...persistence is too strong...very very hard to flip the state of things so quickly....I think we average +3 from June 10th-30th and finish the month +1 to +2.....

You're prob right but it's worth noting that both the GFS and Euro show neg ht anoms @ 500 around Hudson bay and se canada. Depending on which model, the trough or closed 500 contours along the west coast overcome this and keep any trough pushed N of us with ridging out in front. I wouldn't be surprised if we get backdoored or have some sort of stationary boundary set up overhead anytime during this timeframe. It's very intriguing seeing the overall trough/ridge/trough setup over the conus. There seems to be some sort of persistence with this config and it fits my summer h5 composite from my analogs quite well. My map was focused on Jul-Aug but it's hard for me to overlook what's happening right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NNE may have a really pleasant summer. We're just too far south to win the battle. It would take some serious pushing to get any trough to hang around much more than a day or 2. Gotta dig the -2 ao/nao combo we're having now though. Sleeping with the windows open and blanket on in June is pretty awesome. I haven't run my ac since the tues after mem day. My bank account likes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrederickWX Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pouring rain up here now. A lot of cloud to ground lightning right now. A few strikes less than a mile away. No rain as of yet, and the sky is clear in one part, and cloud covered with the storm on the other. Not our usual summer type of storm, with it being so cool and dry compared to normal. Weather like this is always interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather like this is always interesting. Looks like that cell is going to cross over 340 soon. Getting thunder and lightning with moderate rain and wind now. I did see the CG strikes when I was over picking my girls up from school. I agree not usual but very interesting. This little event may put me over 2" rain for the month so far I am sitting at 1.98.

nw baltimore wx Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Here are some small cell phone files that I took of the back end of the storm from Boordy Vineyards just north of Baltimore this evening. I wish I had better equipment with me because it was one of the brightest and longest duration rainbows I've ever seen. Sorry that the pictures are so small.
