I’m helping manage 162 summer programs sites across Baltimore. It’s been non stop 80 hours a week since March.

WxWatcher007 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Ok here’s my Elsa chase video. Decent system. I normally wouldn’t have chased but I was already in Georgia so it wasn’t too long a trip. Can’t wait to hit the road again. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My Davis wx station ate up a battery, so I opened it up and found not just an ant farm, but a little wasp nest for extra measure. (Have had the ant situation before). Gonna try to upload some pics.... Looks like it worked. I used some borax based powder to prevent further attacks. This unit might be 12-15 years old, not sure. Have had to replace the main board because the early versions had a problem with battery life, and I've noticed that ant nests seem to exacerbate the situation.

The pool is in a lower-lying area, so there was absolutely zero air movement. We left at 8:45. They were just starting IM, which last on the sheet.

We had an occasional breeze but we also were in a low lying area that had a trunk sewer line running along the creek. So the occasional whiff was pungent. The ONLY redeeming value from the meet was.....adult gatorade for timers. The host pool had margaritas in a jug. Oh man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess also with sunspot activity, that max might fluctuate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...free took an eternity, and the six heats of kickboards before that didn't help. And then we had some swimmers swim three individual heats because we were apparently trying to get them some team yards records, but we didn't coordinate with the hosts on that. Yeah...that didn't go over well. "Adult gatorade" is a brilliant idea. Filing that one away for next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 In south central Texas, where I've now been living for nearly 3 years, it is usually very hot and humid but dry at this time of year. But this spring/summer down here has been anything but normal for us. Lawns are green.Usually they are brown and temps are routinely in the lower 100s. We have been in the upper 80s/lower 90s with mid 70s/upper 70s dewpoints and today we got smashed by a seabreeze storm, winds gusted to 55 mph, a branch got broke and I had to saw it up, by hand. The lawn is out of control and my mower is broken. This reminds me so much of northern Virginia that is is surreal. 000 FXUS64 KEWX 131923 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 223 PM CDT Tue Jul 13 2021 .SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)... Texas is under a col in the upper pattern with ridging to the east and west and a trough to the north. This weakness has allowed convection to develop on the seabreeze which is moving northward toward I-10. A line of thunderstorms extends from near Castroville to near Halletsville. This activity will continue to move toward the north through the rest of the afternoon and more storms could develop behind this line. There could be brief heavy rain and winds could gust up to 40 mph. We don`t expect much change tonight. Convection should die off quickly with the loss of daytime heating. Clouds will move back in overnight for another warm night. Wednesday will be very much like today. Convection will develop along the seabreeze and move into our CWA during the afternoon. Convection will be confined to the eastern half of the area where moisture will be deepest. Brief heavy rain and gusty winds will be possible. Storms will dissipate after sunset. Cloudy skies will keep temperatures warm again. && .LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Monday)... The pattern to start the long term does not change much from the short term. South Central Texas will be stuck between the high that is keeping the Western US in furnace like conditions and a weak high pressure over the Eastern Gulf and Western Atlantic. This will continue the low rain chances across areas along and east of Interstate 35 each afternoon as the Gulf Moisture rich air interacts with the sun and the seabreeze. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some producing a brief heavy downpour or gusty wind up to 50 mph will continue to be possible each afternoon. Afternoon highs will be kept in the low 90s across much of the area, including the I-35 corridor, resulting in temperatures below seasonal normals. The exception will be across the Rio Grande Plains where afternoon highs will climb into the mid to upper 90s. A pattern change comes towards the end of the long term period as an upper trough digs across the Central and Eastern United States. Model solutions differ at this point with the GFS and Canadian cutting off a low pressure system across Oklahoma beyond the long term into the middle of next week. In response to the upper trough models are trying to bring yet another summer boundary down into Texas. The Canadian is most bullish with the front at this point along wit the ECMWF, while the GFS hangs it up north. Regardless of the exact evolution it looks like for Monday and into next week the pattern returns to a wetter one! You gotta be kiddin' me! We are having a hard time keeping up with this May-like pattern this "summer"! My garden has gone completely nonlinear, the cucumber vines are 13 feet long and I have more herbs than ever! The mint herbs are taking over! The cucumber vines are beginning to climb up to the roof! The lawn is already over a foot high in places! IN MID-JULY! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
