Once again I just barely have time to post this abbreviated report. Once my birthday passes this coming Sunday, things should calm down hopefully. BWI Airport continues to really pile up the rain, currently over 15 inches for the month and well over their old July record of about 11 inches (Thanks Jeff for the updates). All time record for any month is 18+” in the two hurricane month of August 1955. More statistics will follow from Jeff or I…

Once again I am using my cocorahs report just posted on the cocorahs website to post a brief report here.

Rain still falling, and will do so today and tomorrow (at least). We might get a dry break late in the week but by late…

CoCoRaHS report for Sunday July 22 2018. Regular reports from my station coming soon, I promise. Trying to catch up and also still recovering from my recent leg infection, which is getting better with continued antibiotics being taken.  Birthday celebrations (actual birthday a week away, on Sunday, July 29) commenced this Sunday – life goes on. Had a great brunch at a local seafood restaurant “Nantuckets Reef” with my friends Laura and Chris. Picture of the three of us having…

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 starting obs at this location in January 2017) was so noteworthy I wanted to get at least a brief word out on it, not in my usual format, but copies of what I just posted in my CoCoRaHS report for Saturday.  Update as…

Thursday was still quite warm, but a tad bit cooler than Wednesday, and generally dry but getting a bit damper late, with mostly sunny skies but some fair-weather cumulus dotted the sky during times in the afternoon. Overnight into Friday skies were mostly to partly clear with static dew points in the mid 60s. Lows at sunrise were warm, in the upper 60s but with more still reasonably comfortable dew points in the mid 60s. The Thursday maximum temperature was…

Wednesday was still quite warm, but a bit cooler than Tuesday, and gradually drier as a weak front passed through from the N and W. We had some nice fair-weather cumulus in the afternoon building in the afternoon heat. I still had a “rounded” high temp of 90° but at least with dropping dew point temperatures through the afternoon and evening. Overnight into Thursday skies have been partly cloudy with continued dropping dew points. Lows at sunrise will still be…

Tuesday was a hotter day as highs reached into the low 90s, with dew point temperatures creeping up more through the 60s into the low 70s. I actually observed a few cumulus this afternoon for the first time since late last week. But it was still quite sunny most of the day. Overnight into Wednesday skies have been clear for the most part, but a weak front kicked off some storms up in PA and the remains came in giving…

Sunday was another close to a perfect summer day, though slightly warmer in the afternoon. Once again, not “fall-like” as some have described it but rather like summer weather should be around here as a steady diet. We were sunny with bright blue skies all day, with very little clouds overhead all day. Overnight into Monday skies have remained sunny/clear with lows near sunrise in the upper 50s with dew points in the mid-upper 50s. The Sunday maximum temperature was…
