Rumor has it there could be a meteor storm space fireworks on Tuesday morning from 12:45 to 1:17am

The forecast as of the moment is clear skies!

Was looking to see what area of the sky that might show up.  It might be iffy here if high clouds roll in and apparently the meteors are expected to be faint.  The burst is being predicted to apparently appear not far from the Big Dipper to get a point of reference.

Planning a big keg party tomorrow for Glenn's for last show, strippers and all.  Some good T-boomers to close things out would be fitting...

65F/DP 64F

End of an era like when Elliot Abrams retired (3 years ago - seems like it was longer).  Funny but when my sisters treated me to a trip to the Cheesecake Factory up at the Willow Grove Mall for my 50th birthday (I had never been to that one but had been to others around the country), Glenn and his wife were there too!  My BIL ran right over to him and was chatting it up (since both had gone to Central High - although Glenn was in an earlier class).  That was a couple months before he had to have his bypass surgery.

The Inky had a tribute article about him and his hundreds of bow ties last weekend :lol:  -

I recall earlier forecasts this week had Friday as a washout from early on but looks like that has been pushed back to the afternoon.  A Flood Watch was issued though -

I sort of bottomed out at 65 this morning and even picked up 0.02" before midnight and another 0.01" of precip. this morning before 6 am when there was some low stratus around.  It's currently 66 with dp 66 so a bit soupy.

May hit here at the "heat of the day" although it's currently only 73 here but the dp is an awful 69. :yikes:  Had to turn the AC on just to get the humidity out of the house.  It's like feast or famine.  One day so dusty dry I could power the neighborhood with the static electricity and another day so damp and humid I need one of those Louisiana airboats to get to the kitchen.

Back edge of the precipitation shield is approaching MBY and so far have 0.50" total for the day (so far), with 0.49" coming from that line.

There's more stuff sitting back over OH so we may see more rain/T-storms overnight and into tomorrow morning depending on how fast that little complex moves.

Currently overcast but clearing and 68 with dp 68.

What do we think about the system about to head through Maryland? SPC has most of the southwest part of MD under a thunderstorm watch until 10pm. Is that when the threat dies down, or is that when the threat moves out of the area? We're starting to get into the hours of the night when diurnally driven convection should taper off, but I don't know about this system given how long-lived it has been.
