Herb@MAWS Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 was woken up at 1130 by a house shaking rumble of thunder, good god was it loud. now our tvs don't work Missed most of the action IMBY in Columbia. Great light show to the north from the Tuesday evening NW=>NE Balto cell. One heavy downpour after 11pm gave us 0.12" for the evening, after 0.06" in the morning. So, an above-average rainfall day. Cup is half-full, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Would love to see some rainfall totals from up there compared to places around here these past months. Here's the past 60 days according to radar estimates. Anywhere from less than 2" in parts of southern MD, to 10"+ around York, and heck, even Howard county. http://water.weather.gov/precip/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Anybody going to play Berk's new FB game? Props to him if he can make a profit off of it, but I still have to facepalm at the concept of having everyone and their mother try to guess tomorrow's high. People seem to like doing it, though, so if he can't find a met job he's at least trying to find a way to make money in the meantime (or so it seems).

People seem to like doing it, though, so if he can't find a met job he's at least trying to find a way to make money in the meantime (or so it seems). Social media is overrated IMO. It has its perks but it's not a money making venture unless you're talking at the margins. People get so caught up in the feedback that it seems more impressive than it is. Sounds boring to do every day of the year... I doubt he'll have a lot of people do it long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Berk's grammar really pisses me off sometimes not that mine is perfect but I also don't represent myself as a professional to thousands across the area with every post I make on my FB page.

Also maybe that BWI north potomac highland area where the southerly flow off the bay might help to fuel some storms. That is one hell of a precip hole down to the south wow.

CranberryWX Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You can sense the change in the weather here lately especially in the mornings. The lows are cooler now in the low 60s to upper 50s. There is fog most mornings with heavier dew. Whether it's the pattern change or seasonal, it's a welcome relief. You can feel Fall in the air.

North Balti Zen Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Eye-opener of a rainfall chart. My sliver of NE Balt City has done far better than I would have guessed. No further complaining/"fringed" comments from me at this point... Also, looking at that map, surprised parts of DC inside the beltway are no higher given a few of the storms that sat over parts of that area this summer. Guessing not enough of those to push those areas to the yellows... Further musing, been a long time since we have had an area-wide all-day soaking rain (explaining that precip hole). Hoping we can start to get some of that to return soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's a topic for another thread but I will say that while it's all great that the public is taking more of an interest in weather and climate...it's probably being done the wrong way or they aren't grasping it properly. Could go either way at this point - 1) increased awareness or 2) complete failure and misinterpretation of terminology/guidelines etc.etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
