My grass can burn in hell. All I care about is my garden. Looks like some towers are starting to bubble up already. Feels like a good lightning day.

WinterWxLuvr Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you have a grass catcher in your mower, grass clippings on a garden are the greatest thing ever. Holds moisture in the soil and there is some fertilization that takes place. Need about 3-4” depth on it though. Another bonus is no weeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My butterfly garden is in the corner and weeds explode into it from two neighbors' yards since it's just a picket fence. Waiting on my 0.05 pity shower later.

BlizzardNole Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wow look how fast that small cell popped right over northern Baltimore City. Went from nothing to heavy in minutes.

Yeah just looking at the way radar is already popping before noon and where it's popping and the movement of it, I'd be shocked if almost all of us don't cash in today. Probably will be some big winners. Strange the GFS is so wet for tomorrow and the NAM is like what rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the fall, I put down a 3 to 4 foot blanket of leaves from the yard that settles into a thin spongy mat by springtime. If I need to, in the spring I mulch any left over big leaves with the mower and then start the process all over again with the grass clippings. And I never till.

Eskimo Joe Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Big dewpoint disparity between Baltimore (low 70s) and Philadelphia (low 50s). This backdoor front might give us the lift we need to produce more widespread, efficient rain makers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you look at satellite you can see the fronts from where the clouds are moving. There's a dead area between the southerly wind fired storms to the back door front ones in MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0321 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1219 PM EDT Thu Jun 10 2021 Areas affected...portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic region Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 101616Z - 102215Z SUMMARY...Slow moving thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage across the northern Mid-Atlantic region this afternoon. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr will be common, but locally higher rates can not be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery through 1545Z showed an expanding cumulus field within an otherwise mostly clear environment across the Delmarva Peninsula into MD and southeastern PA. A few showers and thunderstorms have also popped up on regional radar imagery over northern Delaware Bay and along the Catocin Mountains of northern MD into the Appalachian chain of southern PA. PWATs within the pre-convective environment are 1.7 to 2.0 inches and 850-200 mb mean-layer flow is very weak across the entire region at less than 10 kt, which will support slow storm motions. Little CIN on the 12Z soundings from WAL and IAD suggest storm coverage will continue to increase with daytime heating with the front and local terrain acting as sources for lift. In addition, locally stronger easterly flow just behind the cold front may help to support near-stationary convection along the terrain of northern VA into northwestern MD and southern PA. Given the lack of speed shear with height, storms should not be organized in nature or long-lasting, but they should be rather efficient with rainfall production given high wet bulb zero heights of roughly 13 kft. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr are very likely with localized rainfall rates up to 3 in/hr possible. In fact, rainfall rates from the HRRR support 1-2 inches of rain in 15 to 30 minutes which seems reasonable given the moist environment. Portions of the Delmarva into southern MD and southeastern PA received heavy rainfall yesterday and will be more susceptible to localized flash flooding today. While flash flooding is not expected to be widespread across the entire region, scattered to numerous slow moving thunderstorms will produce heavy rainfall with several areas at risk for flash flooding, including the urban I-95 corridor from south of D.C. into northern DE with 2-4 inches expected through 22Z.
