    • Great report on BWI. Thanks for posting Jeff. My old NCEP/NWS forecaster friend, now retired, Wes Junker, recorded 17.05″ of rain at his cocorahs station, MD-CV-6, Dunkirk 3.2 NNE for the highest cocorahs reported amount for Maryland in July (starting on July 18) and quite possibly the nation.

  • Cooler temperatures and low humidity were the norm yesterday but any rain that developed totally missed us.  It was a very pleasant day and today should be much the same.  I think that we can give the AC a rest f […]

  • We woke this morning to dense fog and cloudy skies.  I almost turned off the AC last night and so glad I didn’t.  Our low only fell to around 70°F, and with the fog, there was very high humidity.  It is alr […]

  • The rain that we got yesterday seemed rather insignificant but it did measure as 0.06″ in my gauge.  The low pressure that has passed over us is moving ever so slowly to our southeast, and it continues to bring […]

  • My apologies for not reporting for over a week, I was in the hospital for 3 days with a leg infection (cellulitis) and have been recovering at home since. Saturday’s incredible rainy day (my rainiest ever since […]

    • Welcome back Kevin! I’ve missed your reports!

    • Thank you Nathan. I am continuing to give copies of my expanded cocorahs reports to use as a base to my daily report for now. Some day soon I will catch up. We have daily rainfall expected most days this week.

  • When most people think of the conditions needed for wildfires to grow, marine pushes aren’t the first thing to come to mind. Our famous summertime “natural air conditioning” brings a thick layer of morning clouds […]

    • Charlie, I’ve been reading about an increase in volcanic activity in Yellowstone that has closed the park. Do you know if this is true or just hype?

      • Hi Cathie, there was an increase recently – a fissure was noticed in Grand Teton National Park, which is slightly south of Yellowstone. This type of stuff happens all the time though, Yellowstone is a very geologically active region. Unfortunately, whenever there’s a little bit of activity, some rather unscrupulous news organizations try to imply that the recent activity means Yellowstone, a supervolcano, is more likely to blow, but this is not the case.

  • The rain began around 9 PM last night and intermittent showers continued throughout the night.  There was 0.20″ in my gauge at 7:30 and it has continued since then.  The  forecast is calling for rain throughout th […]
