CAPE Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 12 minutes ago, frd said: Not sure yet how much rainfall here but all I can say is based on the road conditions and flooding it must be quite a bit, it's been non-stop extremely heavy rain for the last 2 hours. Looks like 3"+ per radar estimates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 0.1” so far with one last shot just to the west skies have looked ominous a lot but don’t deliver. Probably left over smoke particles absorbing the moisture. Similar to the corn dust in the winter. Perhaps Ian will chime in as he is well versed in this.

stormy Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The widely ranging totals are to be expected in June. The Va. State Climatoligst used to tell me. Jim, we have to go into the spring wet, otherwise it will be very easy to slip into drought. We went into the spring dry this year. Drought will be likely this summer unless we witness a complete reversal of the pattern.................... Will it be a drought disaster??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very anemic severe season so far and just lack of rain overall. Which I’m partially okay with, I like to keep the hours down on my zero turn lol.

Need some significant rain in the next week, or I will be dumping gallons of water into the soil. Grass will be toast anyway regardless, but all the plants are a pretty big investment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some significant rain in the next week, or I will be dumping gallons of water into the soil. Grass will be toast anyway regardless, but all the plants are a pretty big investment. Truth. We laid down about 10 "squares" of sod about two months ago, to even up some garden beds in the front yard. I watered them religiously for two weeks straight and they took pretty well...but now at this point (along with the "regular" established grass in back/front yards), everything is starting to get that uniform, slightly-brown-from-underneath look to it. I expect that from patches in the yards...but I surely hate to lose that investment in the sod. Having said that -- we did get about a 45 minute soaker early afternoon, and we have intermittent light rain and some rumbles of thunder moving through now.

MN Transplant Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 0.05”. Wind feels nice, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 0.65 here. Definitely a soaker but we need much more (that is becoming a theme here LOL). Had some nice gusts in the past hour, humidity is coming down. Did not hear thunder here despite all the lightning strikes around. We're close to the jackpot it looks like for this. Puddles in the garden, and gutters overflowing in last run. Checked and 4/5 downspots were literally stoppered with seeds. Easy fix but usually biannual gutter maintenance works. I guess with the lack of rain stuff gets clogged up good. It's been a while. Oh and how about that air quality? Finally well into the green for PM2.5 here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Ran the sprinklers for the garden beds; grass will have to just go dormant. I've accepted that this will be an extreme drought summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def was hit or miss until 230-3 when a nice batch come up from the south, but the best missed me east. You are a little further west of me, I think, so it may have missed you even more.

nw baltimore wx Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 LWX going “likely” for Wednesday’s chances.

Firmly believe the CAMs displace heavy rainfall too far south and west. Everything was pronged over us but it ended up over Delmarva and Philly. Always bet on the last minute north and east trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
