Thanks for your great report Brie! I enjoy that Pac NW weather so much, esp around this time of the year. We haven’t had it too bad yet here in central Maryland as it has been wet and relatively cool of late so far in June. We had a warm and wet May. If we can keep the clouds and rain around, it won’t get too hot, but I am sure it will eventually…[Read more]

Hi Pat! Admiring your picture – nice contrail. I try to track and photograph those, along with clouds in general. I participate regularly in the NASA GLOBE CLOUD program regularly, documenting the cloud cover at the time including details on any contrails I see. You could join in on the phone – as long as you have a smart phone, you download the…[Read more]

Thanks Jeff. Looks like Mt Hood is wearing its hat today! Snow level still looks pretty low – I guess there is patchy cover at Timberline Lodge now after your warm month. Is it the resolution of the photo, my computer, or was it hazy on this day of the picture? I don’t think you all have started your fire season yet. Here in Maryland we are nice…[Read more]

Thanks Cathie. Though my area may be getting rocked often this year, my station has not. I almost totally missed the rains that dumped on Ellicott City on Sunday (I got 0.02″) and storms locally around my station seem to go elsewhere quite often, as I watch the local radar in amazement. Sure direct hits just seem to vanish into just a bit of light…[Read more]

Sunday started out partly cloudy, muggy and very warm through the mid-afternoon, then clouds took over as storms entered the area. The devastating flooding rains that hit Ellicott City were so bad because of […]

The rains this year have been ridiculous. The southern areas of Michigan were flooded a few weeks ago also. It seems that it never rains but it pours. We had some severe pop up storms again yesterday around Midland and Saginaw, just like the day before. They were very small cells but really packed a punch, but your area seems to have never ending storms this year. Prayers for all those affected.

Thanks Cathie. Though my area may be getting rocked often this year, my station has not. I almost totally missed the rains that dumped on Ellicott City on Sunday (I got 0.02″) and storms locally around my station seem to go elsewhere quite often, as I watch the local radar in amazement. Sure direct hits just seem to vanish into just a bit of light rain. I have had a lot of measurable rain days, particularly this month, but very few greater than 1 inch amounts all year (actually I have had a total of 5, 3 in May, 1 in both Feb and April). Greatest amount was 2.22″ in April. It almost always seems to be raining more elsewhere than my location. My annual total rainfall so far of 17.78″ is really just about normal for up to this point in the year. We tend to remember the most recent weather and forget about what happened in the early part of the year, like that really cold and dry weather of early January. Of course, the key thing to remember this week is our veterans, though I was not one. My Dad fought in WW2 over in England and have pictures of him in uniform during his active duty. Have a great day, and stay dry. I am sure we will have dry and hot days ahead, and we need to save any rain we get now and have gotten earlier this year for these dry, hot days ahead. Kevin

Awesome Charlie! I can’t get enough pictures of all the volcanic activity these days. I just learned 2 new terms the past week – Laze and Vog. Fascinating to think about what the final result of all this activity will be. Thanks for posting!
