You know it's been an easy summer so far when it hits 87 with some humidity and folks are melting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The past few days have afforded some much needed rain. We're now at M1.82" for the month at Co-Op site RSTM2. Hopefully we can continue this trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 0.76" total yesterday, bringing the monthly total to 6.78" @CAPEif you want an example of how my yard jackpots every single time, check out this Cocorahs map for today for Calvert. The one in red isn't my report, but it's the one closest to me. And you'll also see it almost matches what I just posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is uncanny how that area almost always jackpots. Too bad it doesn't work that way for frozen lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxtrix Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 so much for the orange air quality alert—out here we’re already in red alert territory and it keeps rising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 From the lack of snowstorms to the drought to the smoky haze…hopefully July brings in some better vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 That’s my 2.62” at the nw corner of Baltimore. Sad to think that some of those low totals in Carroll county may be on wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, can definitely smell it now, and yeah it has an odd, chlorine-y odor right now...couldn't smell it all this morning. Numbers on the rise quickly at Mt. Vernon station. Haziness has been lowering as well. Ugh. Can we just be done with this crap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from west of Johnstown I'm in Garrett County and this is by far the worst air quality we have had since the fires began impacting our region. Can't really smell smoke per se but the oft-reported chlorine smell (doing wonders for the lungs, I'm sure) is potent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I could even smell it here, it's a very distinct smell that I recognize from the last time. I think someone on here said it smells like burning carpet- that's a good description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxtrix Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 no relief tomorrow out here. i’d better get my watering done now.

For some of us, let's hope those chances turn out better than the last two weeks! I'm on track to finish well under 2 inches for the month. Closest CoCoRaHS (a little south) has 1.84 and I know they caught a couple that I missed. There's a 3.42 that is just 4.2 miles to my ESE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
