I want snow, lol

Seventy inches wasn't enough???

[Category 5]

Its nearly 11am and its not 85 yet, this is the first time in a long time thats happened.

BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!

It is a GORGEOUS morning. Azure blue sky with some high clouds. It's about time! I hope August is more tolerable than July and we got all of our heat waves and 100 degree temps out of the way.

[angelwing]

Ok I think the humidity is back, I walked out the door at 4:30AM to go to work and had a time breathing, sigh...I hope that this coming Tuesday its not humid, good old PECO is going to shut the electric off from 9am to 1pm to fix a transformer where we rent and the hubby will be home and he has lung issues....I hope that its a nice day.

Can hubby get to a mall or library to stay at during the time they are working on it?

[angelwing]

I told him to, he won't go anywhere without me, sigh. I will probably give his sister a jingle to see if she can get him to go somewhere with her.

[Stephanie]

WE NEED RAIN!!!!!

[angelwing]

WE NEED IT BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

What was it, 2 months ago it was raining it seemly contantly, now look, the grass is brown and crunchy again!

[Stephanie]

Well, we received some today. It looks like Delaware received the most.

Where July at least took pity on us with the record heat waves and gave us rain, August is almost as brutal and nary a drop to be found. What's unnerving is that the leaves on some of the trees are already turning colors and dropping. Some leaves are just turning brown.

The next week is looking a little more promising for the chances of rain and I hope that we do get some.

[Stephanie]

Not just a passing shower either. A good couple of hours of a light, steady rain.

[lester]

Slight risk for severe storms for all of us tomorrow:

[Nicko999]

Crazy storm this morning in Montreal... We had so much water that the drainage system couldn't keep up.
You can see where all the water was(the green expansion fell off due to the big amount of water coming down).



Just north of Montreal, Maniwaki just had its wettest day ever yesterday when 87mm (3.43 inches) of rain fell.

And according to EC, a community west of Ottawa received 146mm (5.75 inches)

...STORM SURVEYS CONDUCTED FOR 12 AUGUST 2010 THUNDERSTORMS...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON WEATHER
FORECAST OFFICE IN STERLING VIRGINIA DISPATCHED SURVEY TEAMS
FRIDAY MORNING TO EVALUATE DAMAGE IN FREDERICK...CARROLL AND
MONTGOMERY COUNTIES IN MARYLAND...AND STAFFORD COUNTY VIRGINIA IN
THE WAKE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON 12 AUGUST 2010.

THESE TEAMS DETERMINED A SMALL EF-0 TORNADO STRUCK JUST SOUTH OF
UNIONVILLE IN FREDERICK COUNTY MARYLAND WITH PEAK WINDS OF 80 MPH...
WHILE THE REST OF THE DAMAGE TO THE AREA WAS FROM THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS...UP TO 90 MPH IN A FEW AREAS.

FREDERICK AND CARROLL COUNTIES...

...EF-0 TORNADO CONFIRMED SOUTH OF UNIONVILLE MARYLAND...

LOCATION...SOUTH OF UNIONVILLE IN FREDERICK COUNTY MARYLAND
DATE...12 AUGUST 2010
ESTIMATED TIME...503 PM
MAXIMUM EF-SCALE RATING...EF-0
ESTIMATED MAXIMUM WIND SPEED...80 MPH
MAXIMUM PATH WIDTH...50 YARDS
PATH LENGTH...0.25 MILES
BEGINNING LAT/LON...39.4403N/77.1837W
ENDING LAT/LON...39.4377N/77.1829W
* FATALITIES...NONE
* INJURIES...NONE

* THE INFORMATION IN THIS STATEMENT IS PRELIMINARY AND SUBJECT TO
CHANGE PENDING FINAL REVIEW OF THE EVENT(S) AND PUBLICATION IN
NWS STORM DATA.

...SUMMARY...

A SURVEY TEAM INSPECTED THE TRACK OF A STORM THAT MOVED THROUGH
PORTIONS OF EASTERN FREDERICK AND WESTERN CARROLL COUNTIES IN
MARYLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON OF 12 AUGUST. IN THE AREA FROM EAST OF
EMMITSBURG TO NEAR UNION BRIDGE...VERY SPORADIC DAMAGE WAS FOUND
CONSISTING MAINLY OF LEAF DEBRIS...DEAD BRANCHES OR SMALL LIVE
BRANCHES. NEAR KEYSVILLE AND GREGG ROADS...MAIN LIMBS FROM A LARGE
HARDWOOD TREE WERE BROKEN OFF. ADDITIONAL SPORADIC DAMAGE TO LARGE
LIMBS WAS FOUND NEAR THE TOWN OF DETOUR. THIS DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT
WITH SPORADIC WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH.

MORE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WAS ENCOUNTERED FROM NEAR UNIONVILLE SOUTH
TO THE WOODVILLE AREA OF MOUNT AIRY. ALONG THIS PATH...NUMEROUS
TREES WERE UPROOTED AND LARGE LIMBS WERE SNAPPED. SEVERAL SOFTWOOD
TREES LOST UPPER SECTIONS OF THEIR MAIN TRUNKS. DAMAGE WAS
ESPECIALLY CONCENTRATED NEAR HARRISVILLE ROAD AND WOODVILLE ROAD.
ALONG WESTVALE COURT...A CLUSTER OF SOFTWOOD TREES WAS SNAPPED 20 TO
30 FEET ABOVE GROUND. HERE AND ALONG STREETS TO THE SOUTH...SEVERAL
OTHER TREES WERE UPROOTED. MANY LARGE LIMBS ALSO WERE SNAPPED OFF.
DAMAGE BECAME MORE SPORADIC SOUTH OF GLISSANS MILL ROAD. SEVERAL
BROKEN BRANCHES AND LIMBS WERE FOUND ALONG BOTTOM ROAD...AND SEVERAL
TOPPED TREES WERE REPORTED OFF OF OLD ANNAPOLIS ROAD. THROUGHOUT
THIS TRACK...NO DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES WAS OBSERVED.

FALLEN TREES AND LIMBS GENERALLY WERE ORIENTED TOWARD THE
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST...CONSISTENT WITH STRONG STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS IN THE
REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFT ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE STORM
CIRCULATION. HOWEVER...SEVERAL OF THE TREES ALONG WESTVALE COURT
WERE FELLED TOWARD THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. ADDITIONALLY...THE DEBRIS
FIELD FROM NORTH OF WESTVALE COURT SOUTHWARD ACROSS HARRISVILLE ROAD
SHOWED A CONVERGENT AND WEAKLY ROTATIONAL PATTERN.

DAMAGE ALONG THIS PATH IS CONSISTENT WITH WIDESPREAD STRAIGHTLINE
WIND GUSTS OF 70 TO 80 MPH. HOWEVER...BASED UPON THE CONVERGENT AND
ROTATIONAL DEBRIS FIELD ALONG AND SOUTH OF WESTVALE COURT...IT
APPEARS A SHORT-LIVED TORNADO OCCURRED. IT IS LIKELY THAT STRUCTURES
WERE SHELTERED SUFFICIENTLY BY THE TREES TO PREVENT VISIBLE DAMAGE
FROM OCCURRING. DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT WITH WIND SPEEDS OF 80 MPH...
WHICH CLASSIFIES THE TORNADO AS EF0 ON THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE.

[Stephanie]

lester - it did seem like there was some crazy weather down in the MD area the other day. The EF0 confirms that. Still

Discussion about the Philadelphia area lack of rainfall and potential coastal storm. Hopefully the rainfall pans out:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
936 AM EDT SAT AUG 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TODAY. LOW
PRESSURE AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WITH SHOWERS IN THE OHIO
VALLEY WILL CROSS THE APPALACHIANS SUNDAY. THE LOW AND ITS
OCCASIONALLY UNSETTLED SHOWERY WEATHER FOR OUR REGION WILL REFORM
SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND MONDAY THEN DRIFT EAST OUT TO SEA WEDNESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE
LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.-- End Changed Discussion --

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
-- Changed Discussion --ANOTHER GOOD DAY IN PROGRESS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ALTHOUGH THERE
ARE MORE CLOUDS THAN EXPECTED THIS MORNING...ESP DEL WHERE CIGS
ARE THINNING BEFORE LOWS CIGS REFORM TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH
THIS EVENING.

IAD FULL SUN SOUNDING 93 TDY AND WALLOPS 97. MAY NEED TO RAISE
TEMPS 1-2DEGS IN THE 11AM UPDATE. AT 9AM... THE FORECAST TEMPS ARE
CLOSE TO FORECAST VALUES.

NOTING A VERY DRY PAST MONTH OR SO KPHL-KPNE ENE THROUGH MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND COASTAL NJ N OF KACY WHERE RFALL UNDER 2 INCHES WHICH
IS 25 PERCENT OF NORMAL OR GENERALLY 3 TO 4 INCHES DEFICIENT IN
THE LAST 30 DAYS.-- End Changed Discussion --

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
MAY NEED TO RAISE POPS 20 TO 30 PCT NW FRINGE OF THE FA IN THE 11 AM
UPDATE FOR LATE TONIGHT PER 06Z MODEL RUNS.

TONIGHT WILL BE WARMER THAN THE PAST NIGHT OR TWO AS THE CLOUDS WILL
HELP TO KEEP THE SURFACE HEAT FROM ESCAPING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS THE REGION.
WINDS SHOULD BE UP ENOUGH OVERNIGHT BUT WITH THE INCREASED
MOISTURE DUE TOT HE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW, SOME PATCHY FOG MAY FORM.


THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER COMES TO AN END ON SUNDAY AS INCREASED
CLOUD COVER AND MOISTURE SPREADS ACROSS OUR AREA. LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND PUSH A COLD FRONT
THROUGH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON SUNDAY. THIS FRONT WILL MAKE ITS
WAY INTO OUR AREA ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OFFSHORE LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
AREA FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AND BY SUNDAY EVENING MOST AREAS
SHOULD START TO SEE SOME RAIN SHOWERS AND/OR A THUNDERSTORM.
GREATEST CHANCES FOR THUNDER LOOK TO BE LATER IN THE DAY AND WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE AND THE
DIFFERENT MODELS ARE SHOWING DECENT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS FOR OUR
AREA. RAIN MAY END UP BEING HEAVY AT TIMES IN SOME PLACES, AS
PRECIPITABLE WATERS ARE RUNNING PRETTY HIGH, BUT UNCERTAINTY WITH
RESPECT TO TIMING WE WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING HEAVY RAIN IN THE
GRIDS. MEANWHILE, THE MODELS ALL INDICATE THAT THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
WILL CLOSE OFF AND IMPACT OUR AREA THROUGH AROUND MIDWEEK.
HOWEVER, THERE IS TOO MUCH DISPARITY IN THE MODELS TO GET A GOOD
GRIP ON TIMING/PLACEMENT OF THE LOW. HOPEFULLY THE MODELS CAN COME
TO A BETTER AGREEMENT OVER THE NEXT RUN OR TWO TO LEND BETTER
CONFIDENCE TO THE FORECAST.

TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE WARM AND AGAIN INTO THE 80S, ALTHOUGH
NOT AS WARM AS SATURDAY, MAINLY DUE TO LESS SOLAR INSOLATION. LOWS
SUNDAY NIGHT WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ON THE WARM SIDE, IN THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WHILE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS FOR MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN.
THE ECMWF WAS PREFERRED DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. THAT MODEL HAS A
CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM OVER WESTERN VIRGINIA...WHILE THE 1200 UTC
GFS HAS OPENED IT SOLUTION IN THE MID LEVELS AGAIN (HAVING SHOWN A
CLOSED SYSTEM FOR THE 0600 UTC RUN).

THE CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHWEST PLACES THE FORECAST
AREA IN THE DEEP MID LEVEL SOUTH SOUTHWEST FLOW. THE SURFACE LOW
LOOKS TO ACT AS A FOCUS...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.50
INCHES. WILL NOT HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE FORECAST JUST YET...AS MODELS
(AND FORECASTERS) OFTEN HAVE TROUBLE PLACING FEATURES WITH RESPECT
TO CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM. IN ANY EVENT...WILL CARRY SHOWERS IN THE
FORECAST FOR MONDAY NIGHT...AND AT LEAST EARLY TUESDAY.

THE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL
HINGE ON JUST HOW FAST THE CLOSED MID LEVEL SYSTEM OPENS UP AND
MOVES OUT. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. COOL MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES COULD SPARK SOME
LOW TOPPED CONVECTION...BUT NOT CERTAIN OF THIS YET.

ALL MID RANGE MODELS SHOW A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE WEDNESDAY OR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS A DECANT SHORT WAVE RIDES THROUGH THE NORTHERN
STREAM ACROSS EASTERN CANADA. WHILE MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT...AND
AT LEAST MARGINAL INSTABILITY...WIND FIELD WILL PROBLEM REMAIN
FAIRLY LIGHT. ADD TO THIS FAIRLY WEAK SYNOPTIC LIFT...AND THIS
POINTS TO A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS POINT.

AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THE AIRMASS CHANGE LOOKS TO OCCUR LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. DESPITE COOL MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES
WITH THE MAIN SHORT WAVE PASSING THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WILL KEEP THE
FORECAST DRY. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS QUICKLY NORTHEAST
FRIDAY...AND MID LEVEL HEIGHTS RISE FAIRLY QUICKLY. WHILE ALL MID
RANGE MODELS SHOW THE MID LEVEL RIDGE TO THE SOUTH BUILDING BACK
NORTH INTO THE AREA...THE ECMWF SHOWS THE RIDGE GETTING IN AS EARLY
AS NEXT SATURDAY...WITH VERY HIGH MID LEVEL HEIGHTS. THIS APPEARS TO
BE A FAIRLY STRONG SIGNATURE THAT HOT TEMPERATURES MAY BE BACK FOR
THE END OF AUGUST.

[Stephanie]

We had some nice rain showers this morning and then some HEAVY rains from a few thundershowers that rolled through. Per my rain gauge we had 1.5" of rain.

[angelwing]

I was busy packing and cooking all day yesterday and I think it was around 3 I heard tremendous noise coming from outside, I looked and my goodness the rain was horrific! The sidewalk outside looked like a river!

[angelwing]

Ok just came back from getting my lunch, it's 68 here and its drizzling...who let fall in?????
Not really complaining, was just a shock to the system
I rather have it this way...the colder the better (snow would be nice too)

[Stephanie]

Absolutely GORGEOUS Labor Day Weekend weather. Mid to upper 70's, low relative dewpoints and humidity. Blue skies. Feels like fall. Summer will be rearing it head in the week with the temps by the 90's but hopefully no more heat waves.

We REALLY need some rain though...

[angelwing]

We need the rain BADLY!
