RIC_WX Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 1.20" month to date at DCL, .74" in the past 48 hours. Deep Creek Lake is approximately 12" lower compared to this time last year, with most all of that deficit materializing during the "flash drought" period.

The flash drought occurrences seem to be increasing infrequency over the past decade. Though these events pale in comparison to the drought of 1999 - 2002.

MN Transplant Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 1.69” for the entire summer period so far. Sure could use some tropical remnants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to reverse pretty quickly, as I expect this one too as well as the hot pattern of the past month appears to be transitioning and we get closer to the heart of tropical season.

North Balti Zen Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Surprised how humid it still was this AM. Thought cooler feeling air would have filtered in behind the rain, not yet I guess. Monkton took a really nice hit from the storm between 6 and 7 - thor style cloud to ground lightning strikes and torrential tropical feeling rain for about 15-20 minutes. I don't think it rained much after that but things do look a little more tan than deep brown in the yard this morning, so, progress. Need more rain tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 So, actual RAIN is falling this morning, and not just from a quickly passing T-storm! Started around 8:30 and continues. About 0.15 has fallen after getting 0.28 in a T-storm between 3 and 4 pm yesterday. Currently rain and 71.1/69.8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC when it's 104-105F is about the worst thing ever (especially at night when it's still in the 90s once you get out of Central Park). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe slightly breaking the curse - 15 minutes of torrential rain just after 6 last night - nothing after that but will take what I can get.

Tropical is going to be dead for a while with all that Sahara dust but should start up again in a few weeks. I'd like to see a large remnant go up the coast with a front slowly approaching from the west Cloudy and 78 in late morning which is a welcome change!

Eskimo Joe Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Impressive training along Worcester and Wicomico counties. Salisbury ASOS shows NW winds, Wallops Island is SW. Pretty good droplet size as well per the KDP on Wakefield's radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I’d predict an above average month locally and be right 10/12 months in most years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 1 hour ago, Eskimo Joe said: Looks like they are holding onto a +EPO again. To clarify, +EPO pattern (cold anomaly over Alaska) is different from the global warming trend. It's the top index-pattern for warmth across the US. The +EPO correlation to -PDO has been strong over the last few years. The -PDO has its highest correlation in the Fall, so if this forecast hold, we can very well expect a warmer to much warmer than average Sept-Nov.

The top 30 analogs to US-based warmth that we have seen Dec-July (which I think this year is #1 all time), are very warm into the following March. December is the one month that is near average in that roll-forward, but every other month goes like +2 to +5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had a legit snowstorm in almost a decade and now we have to wait another 2 years for even a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of time though, the EPO "evens out" in the time after a strong phase, so there is some hope I think for -EPO periods this Winter, or maybe beyond. -PDO usually continues +epo though, at least through the Fall..

And yet I got flooded with weenie reactions when I pre-emptively wrote off the next 2 winters in the speculation thread. Nina blizzards are an oxymoron these days.
