WinterWxLuvr Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks since I've seen any measurable rain. Lawns here are now severely stressed and browning all over. And it is just the beginning of June.... This is starting to feel like 2010. Same on my end of the county. I think its the first time since I moved here that my grass is turning brown in early June. Virtually zero rain since the deluge on May 15. Watching the radar makes me think that the word of the day around here will once again be....poof.

Big batch of rain developing just to my south, per normal. I keep getting the occasional fat rain drop from it, but can't even come close to getting the ground wet. Maybe the batch in WVA will hold together enough to at least get us to .01". This is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPressure Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Our 1st 70 degree low! Every milestone from here on out will be a milestone of oppression. Ugh! I don't mind high temps during the day (to a point) but not cooling off at night totally sucks. Currently 75 / 64. with rain on the doorstep. Looking forward to a quick 0.5 to 1.0 qpf. No severe. Just good 'ole rain. Edit: And a cooler, drier, air mass for the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 .02" of pity sprinkles. At least most of the ground got damp this time. That was really worth a 3-week wait. #droughtbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 .6" since midnight, had a nice rumble of thunder at around 430 this morning. Brisk breezy morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I had thunderstorms train over me from 5 pm until 5 am this morning....2.21 inches of rain in that time, 4 separate storms. Doppler radar showed a little rotation around 9:30 pm just to my south during 3rd, during a STW and we were under a Tornado watch from 8 pm until 3 this am. Interesting stuff. Had three 'damage reports' in county, but highest wind I recorded was 26 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 0.45" last night. Pretty respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 beautiful morning for June 5th considering what it could be in these parts at this time of the year 0.37" in Clarksburg in the overnight. Not bad leading into 4 glorious days. This has been a great spring so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I received a lot more rain than I was expecting. .9" since midnight, and .08" before midnight. .98" last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 LOL, move the 1 to the right end and you'll get my total for the last 3 weeks. We just can't seem to buy any rain at this point. In my part of the county it's not unusual (very frustrating, but not unusual) since I've been here; but in your part of the county, it is. We ended up getting a little light rain in the overnight (don't know how much since the Aylor Wxbug station is not reporting), but it was dirt-dry underneath the trees this morning. For all practical purposes, it was another shut-out. On the bright side, I won't be mowing much this summer. All the money spent on the lawn, however, appears wasted.

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 GetMap.aspx.gif Where do these totals come from? Looks like some more meaningful rains fell nearby, but the dry ground beneath my meager trees indicates my hood didn't get anything approaching .25". That .30" is several miles east of me, and in an area that typically sees increased formation of showers and storms. Evening radar showed that well yesterday evening. The same is true south of me towards Middletown and Strasburg. There is usually a dry corridor staring north of me near Kernstown, running south towards Middletown. What is a bit unusual relative to the last several years is that dry corridor has included Winchester too thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm just 2 or 3 miles to the north of that 0.14. My garden is just dust right now. It is so strange how different our weather is, with the short distance between us. I think you ended up with about 20" more snow than I did the past winter. Now, as you fry, I have had 5.75" of rain in the past 30 days. 0.80" the other night. Cutting the grass every 4-5 days. Garden is bursting. Can hardly keep up with the growth.
