Oh and new drought map still reflects severe -- I bet my little micro-desert qualifies as extreme as I've had less than 1.5 for June I can confirm. It's a dust bowl here in the high desert of Carroll County. AA county is a swamp. This map might need Mappy help lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 20 minutes ago, vastateofmind said: Your post couldn't be more timely. We had our every-six-month HVAC check done today....and $2,700 later, we need to have a UV light cleaning system installed, our heat pump refrigerant "restored/recharged," and perhaps most important, our blower rotor cleaned. The amount of "filth" on the rotor was way more stacked up than it's ever been before, and the air filter in the HVAC? Very greyish/black. When I asked the tech if the late-May/early-June wildfire crap had anything to do with that soiling, he said, "Absolutely, yes...have seen it in dozens of other customers." I usually monitor our HVAC filters for dog hair....but didn't think it would be this ruined in less than a month. Good Lord. Stay apprised of your HVAC status, folks....this sh*t can get expensive. Call someone else! That's crazy. You don't need a uv irradiation unit! Also, if your blower isn't running the filter won't accumulate dust. We haven't run our unit until this week. Of course that varies depending on one's comfort, etc. Don't even get me started on duct cleaning scams! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drought of '23 rolls on Seems like the drought is becoming more focused in North Central MD. East of 95 is pretty much caught up. Up here in Carroll County it's super dry. We missed everything this week. I drove through part of AA County last week during the storms and their was serious flooding. Drought, over there.

das Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hi there, mid-Atlantic gang! Flew out of DCA last night at 11pm and took this pic passing thru 10K ft. just north of the Beltway. Pretty cool to see the smoke inversion from above. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been some HRRR runs that have had a decent looking cell going across Central MD and then over to the Bay. So far, looks like updrafts have struggled - to be expected on a not even marginal risk day - thankful for any rain that can move overhead though.

Cobalt Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 This recent 2 month stretch marks the first time DCA has had consecutive BN months since April/May 2020. Coldest 5/1 -> 6/30 (69.3F) since 2005 (68.7F). Nowhere near 2003's average for that timeframe of 66.4F, which stands as the coldest May/June period in DCA's history and coldest at any official DC site since 1927. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
