Also, water here is silly cheap, but a sprinkler isn’t the same as rain water. I just put down fertilizer that is not supposed to be rained on for 24 hours, so, expect some downpours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Steam bath out there. 78/74 Might be interesting when the front comes through later. Looking forward to the next few days. Should feel awesome after our first bout of heat and humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One inhibiting factor for storm development is the flow ahead of the main front is likely to bring some drier air into the area this afternoon. I will be keeping an eye on the dew point here. Its sultry as hell out there now. Just do anything for a few minutes and you are soaked. Already took a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked outside most of yesterday and I’ve already had 2 quarts of water this morning. I guess the Natty Boh’s yesterday didn’t help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 This is why some drier air probably gets in ahead of the front and possibly keeps any storms rather isolated this afternoon/evening. We are on the backside of the pre-frontal trough that moved through overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Feels like June. The humidity could be lower especially if it's not going to rain! And last night, for the first time I saw fireflies. I have to say this is the latest I've seen them first. Here is the view facing south. That boomer near Calvert Cliffs isn't visible from this view. I need to move the PTZ higher on the tower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Where did THIS come from!?! One heck of an electrical storm going on here now. Last I saw of forecast discussion from NWS Blacksburg at noon was they were gonna put a SMALL chance of storms to the east (of Lynchburg) due to a coupe models showing that possibility. Nothing for here. Now under a warning and it is a rockin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 From Don S. tonight. I was not aware of the current SOI crash and the potential implications for later this month. < This year, the MJO was in Phase 1 for 3 consecutive days with an amplitude of 1.500 or above during the June 1-3 period. Since 1981, there were four such cases that saw the MJO meet or exceed those thresholds during the June 1-10 period: 2002, 2006, 2007, and 2015. While the four cases were evenly split between cooler and warmer than normal during the second half of June, 3 of those 4 cases saw a warmer to much warmer than normal July. This could be an early indication that a summer that will start with near normal temperatures overall (June) could turn warmer than normal afterward. Last year, the SOI fell to -42.04 on June 22 when the MJO was in Phase 6. This year, the SOI plunged below -46.68 on June 5, its lowest level in more than three years. The dramatic plunge in the SOI could be the proverbial spark that kicks off a sequence of events leading to the development of a sustained warmer than normal period. Taking into consideration the MJO, that transition could begin some time during the closing 10 days of June month. Just as had been the case last year, July and August could feature warm anomalies in the East. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you water your lawn or other areas? I tried last year watering the lawn and lost my ambition and suffered the consequences. This year I will let it go dormant and hope rains visit at least to keep the crown alive so in the Fall it may bounce back. I have 3/4 acres far too much to water. Even the front with 1/3 acre is too much to consistently water correctly. And yes, the rainfall forecasts have trended drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Gfs and GGEM have some good rainfall this week with the frontal passage. Euro is much less impressed. May be due to the timing of FROPA. Gfs has it Wednesday afternoon and evening, supporting storms. Ggem the same but 18-24 hrs later, while euro splits the difference so no instability Thursday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corn plots need consistent watering. I don't care about my grass. My corn is the only grass on property I care about lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Putting grass clippings on gardens does wonders. Not only does it fertilize, if you can get it to 2-3” thick you won’t have water issues either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
