09-10 analogy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Moderate rain a hour or so ago, now nothing, but distant rolling thunder when it's cloudy, which for some reason I love. Seems like the goods might be on my doorstep but I'm used to the LWX radar and it's down and I'm not rich like the rest of you folks to be able to afford the fancy stuff. If it was a killer band of snow just off to my north and west with me getting nothing, I'd be tearing my hair out (of course I shave my head so that's kinda irrelevant) but with convection, I can still hear the thunder and like I said, distant thunder with cloudy, humid weather is a nice vibe for me.

CAPE Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Drizzle . The rain gauge reads 0.00 for the day. Not mad- at worst I will have to water the newer plants probably on Sunday, with the likelihood Monday will also be a fail lol. The grass is oddly hanging in there, but it never makes it past early July regardless of the amount of rain that falls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I just can't believe so much rain is falling so close to the east. The other night it was just west. After today it's relying on thunderstorms so forget about it. We won't see a drop from those so we're done. Guess I'll be watering again this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I’ve been in trial in Harford county (bel air) all week and literally have not gotten to notice how much it has rained. Finally home during daylight hours and enjoying a tropical downpour. Things much more green than when the week started. Most welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dover radar has been very misleading for us, but the nice looking band over eastern Howard County now is producing moderate rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Managed to pick up 0.02" with that batch of spits and drizzle- the daily total. Probably it for the day as the action to the west is weakening. Up to 0.45" for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your monthly total must be well over 5"? Yes, that is true. I estimate between 5 to 6 inches in my immediate area. These last two events of over 2 inches each time are unusual for this area for mid to late June. I decided to postpone lawn fertilization and good thing because it would have washed away. On a side note, as for the garden, experimenting this year with using straw in in the raised garden bed and near by surface level garden. I am trying to prevent soil splash up on the tomatoes leaves since I have tomoto blight living in the soil and also control soil eronsion. The straw prevents weeds and may even hinder the Cicada killers from making nets on the garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually would like these storms to pass on through as I'll be at Merriweather for the Weezer concert. Luckily decided on seats and not lawn! Took my daughter and her friends last night. We had seats in the pavillion and they chose lawn. Luckily nobody sat behind us and we snuck them, in just as Weezer started :-) It was a great show...hope you enjoyed!

Today has been another groin kick as areas north, south, and east of me got at least into a good half hour dumping, but nothing here. But I am happy that at least this is helping regionally with the drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Always like to review returns on radar, and then confirm via "visual" results when looking out the front window to the southeast... Some impressive clouds/thunderheads all around us this afternoon. I think we miss out (again) this afternoon...but at least we got a bit of precip this past week to alleviate the thirsty grass/sod. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
