CAPE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Torrential rain occurring here this morning with T & L. Radar looks impressive. Had a brief heavy downpour overnight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Picked up over an inch of rain since midnight. 1.72" for the event. Still some steady light rain falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The fairly large area of heavy rain/storms that developed early this morning was totally unexpected, by me, and forecasters apparently. Some of the mesos hinted at it, but not until late. The 6z 3k NAM showed a well defined vorticity spoke developing and rotating through on the SE side of the upper low as it approached the bay. This likely initiated the strong lift, and we already had a pretty juicy, somewhat unstable air mass in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yeah, woke up to the sound of the rain at 3:30 am and had a wtf moment. nice bonus rain for the folks on the east side of the bay for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This event way over-performed in this area. Most guidance 48 hours ago suggested around a half to as much as three quarters of an inch through today. Some NAM runs had a quarter inch or less. My forecast for overnight into this AM was 40% chance of showers, a tenth of an inch or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Picked up a little more rain overnight, but nothing like areas east of here. Ended up with .72” which is way better than it looked a couple of days ago. The garden is happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Heavenly morning for the garden. Warm and sunny after almost an inch of rain overnight. Seeds will be sprouting with temps near 80 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Looks like today should be better than advertised. Chance of a pop up storm but ideal around 80 and sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Me a couple of days ago: this weather is so boring, bring on Spring Me this morning: 73, sunny and humid is awful. I need to move north. Rainfall oddity: CoCoRahs reports for the last two days were identical. 0.32" each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Over performed on temps today. Grids had 78 for Reisterstown and I'm sitting at 82. Farmers are really behind though with cold soil, so we need this warm weather. Corn, squash, pumpkins and melons aren't even planted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 71/58 here with a nice breeze out of the NW under partly cloudy skies. Planted flowers, put down mulch, and got a lot of outdoor spring work done. Crazy to think we got almost 2” of snow 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Beautiful day at the park today. Sure a little more humid then desired, but the light breeze mostly offset that. The park wasn’t as crowded as I anticipated it would be but kicking people off our turf field is getting tiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My potato crop is doing fantastic this year due to light frosts and cool temps. The cold only caused a tiny bit of leaf damage but killed off any pest like potato beetles, mites ect that give me issues normally. I've got twelve, 45' rows this year. My first round of sweet corn has been up for about a week. The day i planted the seed was only 50 degrees. That was a first. I'm planting second batch tomorrow. It's been a slow start for tomatoes, cucumbers, squash ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than horse flies, the only flying/biting insects I have are mosquitoes, and after 3 rounds of larvicide of my seasonal wetland over the past 2 months, I have not seen even one. Left untreated, I would have an unbearable swarm by now. Plenty of chiggers around if you venture into the 'wrong' area. The itch from their bites are the worst, and can last a month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitting here That line of showers that rotated down from the NE weakened as it approached here, but still picked up a few hundredths. My official total for the entire event is 1.80".

CAPE Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 55 here, headed for mid 60s. Back to cloudy and cool and a NE flow with the backdoor cold front that moved in overnight. Just for a day though, then the legit warming commences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I have a couple more trays of flowers and one shrub to plant, and today's weather will be perfect for it. Maybe some thunderstorms late in the week? Friday looks juicy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah temps and humidity will be on the increase as the week progresses, and looks like a cold frontal passage in the Friday/ Saturday time frame.

I'll be doing a solid day of garden work today. Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather do it on a day like today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am not talking a heatwave, just typical warmth relative to what we have had for weeks on end. Having 5-6 consecutive days in the 70s/80s does represent a legit change (warming) over the perpetual 60s we have seen, imo. It will also be noticeably humid beginning around midweek. The advertised h5 pattern going forward into early June actually looks great for us- "normal" warmth. No prolonged above normal temps in sight.

WxUSAF Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 GEFS has us in a northwest flow regime from mid week all the way through 384. That should be some ideal early June weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
