George BM Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Weather tracking is currently giving me a "beginning of September" vibe rather than the beginning of August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 One more month of Summer. I am ready for Fall. Ofc it never actually feels like Fall around here until early October- sometimes. Finished July with 6.30" of rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 1.92” in July, and I’m ok with another six weeks of seasonable summer, as long as it rains. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasonable would be tolerable, and the best we could hope for. Long range means suggest that is possible. But yeah hopefully it doesn't go dry. Doesn't look like that will be a problem for the next week or so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was developed by snow lovers. In the Precipitation options under Map Options 4 of the 5 options to select from have something to do with snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been feeling like I got rain shafted for July with just over two inches, and then I searched and see areas just to my wnw had half of that.

I'm just NW of the two 5.55 and 5.57 readings IVO Vienna. There's some interesting lollies in there from July. It's going to be interesting when the data shifts from liquid to frozen and perhaps becomes more subjective (like the long standing debate about how frozen is measured at KDCA). Likely all of the data points for rain are electronically measured from outdoor "trusted" sensors. When we shift to frozen (hoping we get some in 20/21), the liquid equivalent from heated sensors will hopefully help keep the data from enabling too much slant stick measuring, and offset the "human factor". Noticed there does not appear to be data listed for KDCA and KIAD. Looked up the background and with the sponsorship by NOAA, would anticipate the major airports would participate. https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=aboutus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the HRRR. 18z NAM nest has 14" near Winchester. Certainly one of the odd situations where the models like the 81 corridor better for storms.

CAPE Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Pretty nice evening. 81 and quite comfortable. View of a thin line of northward moving convection to the ESE along the MD/DE border. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main show with the OV energy should pass well to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soil is super well drained on the "upland" part of my property where the house/lawn is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually added a bunch of sand to my garden soil this year. Really helped the drainage issue.

The soil on the upper eastern shore is highly variable. Lots of heavy clay in certain areas around here, and it doesn't drain. Not like the red clay over in the Piedmont. Most of my property is sand and silt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
