7/1-7/4 Independence Day Weekend OBS, Wet In The Middle, Dry At Both Ends.

[Rainshadow]

I'd guess the period from Sunday afternoon in PA into Monday everywhere looks like the most widespread showers and thunderstorms.  It looked better than a few days ago when only the 4th looked dry.

Enjoy everyone!

Tropical downpour ongoing....finally!

I'm under the larger of the red blobs north of Westminster, MD and north of the MD/PA border.

.55" and still raining. Looks like it will end around 5. Not bad considering this week's misses.

Before the torrential stuff moved in, it actually got a little clearer imby once the rain started. Ended with .6". More storms to my west look to be firing up now.

By the way, Machine Head came out 51 years ago.

We need a wow response.   I think I still may have the LP. 

For all the kids and in my case grand-kids too:

I gave all mine away when I  sold my MD house, including my first album, Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies. Great album if you're an old man.

...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys eastward to the Atlantic Coast...
   As a mid-level trough moves across the Midwest/Ohio Valley area and
   into the Northeast, afternoon heating/destabilization will support
   clusters/bands of thunderstorms -- developing during the day and
   persisting locally after dark.  Greater instability is expected
   south of the Ohio River, where damaging wind risk will exist along
   with potential for hail.  Weaker flow aloft with southeastward
   extent should limit overall severe risk into the Southeast states,
   though a few marginally severe storms are expected.

   Farther north -- north of the River -- instability will be less
   robust, which should result in more isolated damaging wind
   potential.  Overall, the corridor with the best overlap of favorable
   instability and stronger/westerly flow in the 850mb to 500 mb layer,
   will likely reside from roughly the Ohio to the Tennessee Valley,
   and eastward to the Mid-Atlantic region.  As such, will maintain
   this as the zone of SLGT/15% severe risk.

That area depicted in the Slight risk (over and east of the mountain) reminds me of the snowfall forecast from 2/6/10....I  know, I'm pathetic.

The smoke hadn't been too bad most of the day, but it's back with a vengeance this afternoon. Acrid.

Rather dismal day here between clouds and smoke. Dry though. So i’ll give it a 6/10.

Pop up downpour at 7pm.

Downgraded to 5/10.

I realized yesterday and today that the lack of  heat and humidity this year is going to make it feel way worse when it finally comes… I thought it was dang near hot and humid yesterday, but it was only low 80s with dews near 60. We’ve been blessed…it will suck hard when it ends.

A little (very little) shower came through overnight. If it wasn't for the rain gauges, I never would have known it rained. Low of 69.1F overnight and the dew's suck this morning.

VP2 - 0.01"

Stratus - 0.03"

Nothing overnight

Tempest showed nothing but the gauge showed .03.  Hoping for more today and tomorrow.
