vastateofmind Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This morning's LWX forecast: 70% chance of showers through the day! 30% chance of thunderstorms by mid-afternoon! And of course, it was dry LITERALLY the entire day here...we got a few threatening clouds passing through over the last hour with some mean-spirited sprinkles assailing us within the past 20 min. Good Lord, the drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Small pop up all day. Got our second double rainbow of the week out of this last one just a few minutes ago. Caught it (or another), too, looking east/southeast over by Gambrill while shooting some hoops. Made for a nice backdrop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been plenty wet, and despite the dry spring my lawn is as lush and green as could reasonably be expected at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 90 day departure in precip (you have to select it from the dropdown) is still pretty legit around here: https://www2.atmos.umd.edu/~climate/ClimateInfo/prcp.php The 270 split storm magnet has been in full force, but many areas are still several inches below normal.

87storms Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 One thing we’re good at is a relatively quick change in humidity. The drought causing nw flow to start the day has been replaced by increasing humidity. Certainly not tropical out there, but a noticeable shift by early evening.

OKintendent Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 LWX AFD mentions warming trend into late August. Battle of the GFS vs Euro. 00z GEFS has temps mid 90s (op has 100+ 8/19 through 8/22). EPS has upper 80s-Low 90s (Op has mid to upper 80s through the 22nd). Be interesting to see which wins out. As a golf course superintendent, these discussions are very helpful. I've learned a lot from everyone here and have used this board as one of my tools for years when preparing and helping a plant get through a rough stretch of weather conditions. I only just started posting now because as many have said in the past, "...it's better to listen than speak when you don't understand much..." I still don't understand much, but meh, why not get minimally involved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’d lean euro with more seasonal temps based on that alone. But a few hot days are always in play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall multiple times this summer 7-10 days out on GFS runs showing upper 90s-100, only to get within 3-5 days and it shows low to mid 90s which is what we ultimately got. Up until the past 7 days, it has been incredibly dry in southern Frederick county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just gives an idea of the precip struggles on the leeside of the mountains in this persistent GL low/NW flow type of a pattern. Looks like there's some more TBD showers possible later. Kinda makes sense given the airmass, but those Blue Ridge mountains are a force to be reckoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
