87storms Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 we 100% need some rain here. not like what we had a month ago, but some garden variety effects are needed so we can keep some of that greenery intact. we've had an epic sunny stretch here. the heat generally doesn't bother me unless it's in the mid-upper 90s, but the clouds today are welcome for some natural shade.

JWilliam9830 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Getting a fairly fast moving shower. Some yellows appearing on radar heading straight for me, i'm guessing about a tenth of rain. That's just enough to get the ground wet, but not for long... dry tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Rain delay here at OPACY during this brief heavy shower. Looks like basically nada IMBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Managed to get lucky and got a nice shower dropping about a quarter inch. The last rainfall was all the way back on June 24, and that was only 0.15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWilliam9830 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Picked up only three hundredths of rain, hardly measurable. Some more drizzle coming on radar, temperature back up to 85/76 and muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the vincas are complaining, and those things are tough. So, anyone got thoughts on a possible cut off low setting up near the coast next weekend? How ironic it would be if after weeks of dry, we get a wet week while we are on our family reunion trip in VA Beach (21st-28th). LOL I am already getting texts from relatives asking why their phone weather apps are showing the thunderstorm icon every day that week. Tent camping on the lower Eastern Shore from this coming Friday through next weekend. Last year we tried twice there; the first weekend in July and again on Labor Day weekend. Got dumped on both times. Reserved this site over a month ago but the forecast isn't looking too promising for tenting or beaching. Guess we will bring the bikes in the event it's a washout.

We'll be reading the Wakefield forecast discussion this week LOL. This is what they are saying now: Introduced chance PoPs beginning early afternoon on Friday, continuing into Saturday. It is the GFS that suggests much of this precip will fall along and east of I-95. With that in mind, the 12z GFS is a wetter solution than the new 12z EURO, which would actually keep much of the area dry Friday and Saturday. In other words, no reason to change your outdoor plans Fri-Sat quite yet...model agreement is low during this period, so stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Pretty muggy out here this evening. Looks like parts of VA are breaking the dry spell. Not here.. ground is rock hard. My well watered garden looks beautiful since it hasn't been beaten up by thunderstorms. My corn is 7' tall. It hasn't rained since it was thigh high.

Stormpc Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 .05 so far. May get to .06. Hey, its better than nothing. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 A few raindrops fell late yesterday, enough to call it a trace. Still at 0.10” on the month. DCA sitting at a T. Going to be a gut punch for whoever misses on Tuesday. Incredibly still out there this morning. Not even a leaf at the top of a tree wavering.

frd Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 First rain yesterday in a while was a relief. Mount Holly states this AM the PW is at a climate high for tomorrow for my region and HM chimmed in on social media thinking robust rainfall potential tomorrow for the Delaware Valley is a good bet. I am closer to this region, versus Philly, but I like the odds tomorrow. Also, seeing more and more evidence that cooler and wetter pattern develops soon and lasts into early August.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have literally had zero measurable rainfall (not even 0.01") since June 27... this might be a rain futility record IMBY but I'll have to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Nice thunder and close lightning at my house. It is struggling mightily to rain though. Not even full coverage on the ground and the storm is almost beyond me. Some very Vivid lightning close in though. Edit: .11 now in a decent shower at the tail end.

MN Transplant Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I hate this time of year where the radar can look great 5 miles from you, but you are somehow sure that the whole thing will just collapse. Rocking 0.02" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 0.03'' of rain yesterday in a shower that passed by... other than that the last rainfall was June 24. Don't worry we'll probably break that dry streak tomorrow and get a decent downpour! The last inch or greater of rain was June 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
