CAPE Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Still a chance one of the waves moving up along the coast will track close enough for some heavy rain later in the week, but beyond that the humidity will be on the increase and temps will be creeping back up towards 90 by the weekend. WA ridge coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 10 minutes ago, CAPE said: GFS has a foot of rain for eastern NC over the next week. I was just reading the disco for that area -- oh man I feel bad for the folks vacationing at the Outer Banks this week: Tuesday through Thursday...A very wet three days are on tap for the middle of the week. The unseasonably strong trough over the southern Appalachians remains in place (potentially cutting a low off at its base), ensuring that a deep tropical moisture belt remains over the area. PWAT values of 2-2.5 inches prevail through the period. At the surface, the boundary will generally remain along the coast, with several weak waves riding along it about every 18 to 24 hours, leading to periods of increased rainfall coverage and intensity. The heaviest rainfall is currently expected to fall along and east of the boundary, with 3 day QPF in the neighborhood of 6-8 inches along and south of US Hwy 17...

CAPE Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Decent steady rain here over the last hour and a half. Not going to make the half to three quarters that was forecast, but not like I am worried about saving a lawn or anything lol. 0.35" so far. Looks like it should probably end in the next 20 mins. I doubt that line that develops along the front later will make it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Beautiful night in OC, MD. (No rain and good amount of sun all afternoon). Monday and Tuesday look ok. I will be watching to see what happens Wed. And Th… before I head home… WB GEFS 18Z looks wetter for midweek. Since the prob maps never pan out in winter, might as well see if I can jinx the midweek rain on the shore by posting it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Decent line of storms headed in my direction from the NW. It actually looks like it's gaining some juice. Now that my edible is kicking in it's a perfect time for a Jebwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 What a very anomalous summer down here! MORE heavy rain tonight, we just started off August with 2.8 inches of fresh rain! Normal high is 99. Naaah, all we eked out, was 94. Power went out for 2 hours as dangerous cloud to ground lightning smashed down all over at 1245am local time Aug 2. More rain likely Monday and rest of week. All this rain is abnormal. Aug is average high of 99 low of 74 with clear blue skies and hot, dry, dusty. Not this summer. Lots rain. Struggling with the lawn and the cucumber vines are growing about 4 inches per day. I am having a hard time keeping them tied to the stake, which is already too damned short and has had to be lengthened. Same goes for the tomato stakes. You guys want rain? Come on down to south central Texas. We are already up to 35 inches on the year. 30 inches is normal for an entire year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know...I hadn't looked at models all day. I was out running errands in the showers during the day, and I was shocked when I heard the rain hitting the roof last night. Not much a of a storm in that I don't even think there was a rumble of thunder, but it did rain hard for about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Morning low of 61. Very nice. Had 0.24" by evening yesterday, but failed to check the gauge this morning; (brief T-storm overnight). I'd estimate about another tenth, based on the electric gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Is there anything in the recordkeeping that shows what longtime residents myself and my father have been sensing, that August in DC is not as awful as it used to be, or at least as it was in the 70s and 80s? Seems like the first signposts of summer's end (even if there's still plenty of warm days ahead) come earlier than they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look at monthly averages doesn't show anything too extraordinary for August in the 70s and 80s -- 1980 was a nasty summer though! August is a pretty nice month here with the average high at DCA going from 88 to 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
