There is some good agreement in the guidance for several areas of steadier showers, and the radar is starting to fill in a bit over northern VA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just a miserable day. Stopped for about an hour after the primary shield went through, but it filled back in and has been raining since 10am. 0.48” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Another meager event. Paltry .39". Everything is nice and green due to the frequent rain, clouds, and not blistering-heat. But these drizzle-fest events are doing nothing to penetrate the ground and charge the water table. Dry conditions will take hold rapidly as soon as the pattern turns back to sunny and hot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ready to transition into nice weather with mid level cumulus clouds and late afternoon/early evening thunderstorm chances instead of daytime stratus cloud decks.

Although we had activities inside, it ended up being dry enough for people to sit outside and eat and socialize so that was good. Glad it’s over!

CAPE Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 0.32" today and 2.43" for the month. Coolish more than warm and humid. Good balance of cloudy days and sun. I'll take this any day for May. Goldilocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Headed out crabbing this morning. I got up at 4:30 and heard water running through the gutters. There's nothing on radar. It's just a steady drizzle. I was hoping for a beautiful sunrise. Now I'm hoping for jumbo crabs. Screw the sunrise lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 My April solar power production was the lowest I’ve ever had for April, although not so far off the previous minimum. But May so far is just shockingly low. It’s been really cloudy for the last 45-50 days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
