Got up early and mowed the weeds and what's left of the grass. Pulled a bunch of weeds out of the driveway. Flower beds are loaded with weeds. Gotta pick away at it. It's nice and green again here, 10 miles west of Annopoils. The sound of mowers has returned. The drought started in a flash and ended in a flash in my area. The slightly shorter days also seem to allow the ground to stay moist slightly longer. Hopefully today storms hit the desert valleys to the west and move across the entire area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could’ve been even higher. There are a dozen trees down here, with one currently leaning on the house lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Got sprinkled on twice yesterday, the first as a cell again moved along east of 81 and later from cells just west. Both times, 1/2 mile from beneficial rains. I don't know when my time is ever going to come. We've been painfully close several times this past week. .03" total. 2.25" since Memorial Day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Picked up quite a bit of rain last night. That said, I feel like a lot of it just ran off since the dirt is/was like concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Surprisingly the soils appeared to have absorbed a lot of rainfall last night. The Baltimore City mesonet site shows spikes in soil moisture all the way down to 50cm (half meter)! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notvirga! Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Might be interesting weather day. Flood watches and severe watches are up for many areas east of BR. We got dumped on last night in Owings Mills. Didn’t measure but probably a couple inches of rainfall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Second round of thundershowers just moved through. About .3 in gauge. Thin lines, downpours for 3-5 minutes and done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just heard some thunder in the distance. This is my kinda day...absolutely primo basketball weather (unusual to have such little breeze in Frederick) and enough sun/humidity to fuel storms with a nice vort passage. I'd take this 6 months out of the year, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just brushed again. Literally, two minutes of rain. Rained hard for two minutes and turned off like a light switch. .10". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rained hard for two minutes and turned off like a light switch. .10".Overall, this type of ULL is better for our areas…get that moisture banked up against the lee side of the mountains instead of getting skipped over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Brushed again by a cell to the north. 3 minutes of rain. These cells are small and moving fast today. Hard rain, but no duration. Strange. It feels like a spring pattern where the small cells pop up and move quickly. Nickel and diming. But, it is refreshing to at least see big drops and hard rain. Picked up another .13". .23" on the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just caught the northern edge of that warned cell here. Got a nice .30” with more filling in behind. After last nights .75” sitting at 1.72” so far for the event. It was soupy enough here glad we got something. And some nice rumblers are the cherry on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Only 0.04” so far. A quick moving shower dropped a few hundredths earlier. Getting skirted to the north by the big storm over Southern FDK. 81/75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Everything yesterday and today has been just barely missing me to the north and west. There's a pws just half a mile to my west that's sitting at .25" so far today while I'm at 0.04". Crazy to continually be right on the edge of the convection. At least I'm hearing some good thunder!

IronTy Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Nothing down here in SoMD but unrelenting jungle. At least the HI is only 104 and there is decent wind to blow the sweat off. Watching that storm line firing off east of Harrisonburg and hoping it holds together. Enjoying a cohiba out on the patio right now waiting to make a play on getting my caterpillars more food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for better luck later NE MD is a swamp this summer. They get pummeled just about every day. It's really windy and hot here. No rain yet but I'm watching storms fire to my west.
