Here comes the hot weather

Cool picture! Nothing here yet, not even a cloud or a breeze - clear sky with the moon and stars. Seems unlikely that any of it will come down here now, unless perhaps some of the stuff now in Maryland makes it this far.
It came close, but not quite. Got a minute or two of very light rain. Didn't even make the ground wet. There are some storms further South moving across Maryland now. They might get here later tonight.
Rain to the South, rain to the North. But somehow it all manages to miss me except for a light "spritzing" that doesn't move the needle. But the sky keeps flashing from distant lightning and there is the faint sound of thunder.
Here is the total rainfall so far. Those earlier projections were pretty good, most of the rain has fallen North of the AC Expressway. We are getting a little bit here now, doesn't look like it will last long though.
I'd guess about an hour, with another an hour behind the first, if it makes it here. Hopefully it will be a cold front, but not in name only.

Only light sprinkles down here in the Sahara of the Pines. Got really dark and foreboding with thunder, but it was only the very edge of the storm that passed over. Registered a big 0.01 inches on the rain gauge. Looks like the next one will probably miss too. Maybe we'll get something later tonight...
Got 1 3/4 inches here overnight - nice. That's the most rain we've had here for quite some time.
Hmm, how did their forecast work out last year?....

Another winter forecast came out.

June 2012 was the globe's 4th warmest June on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). NASA rated May 2012 the 3rd warmest on record. June 2012 global land temperatures were the warmest on record; this makes three months in a row--April, May, and June--in which record-high monthly land temperature records were set. Global ocean temperatures were the 10th warmest on record. June 2012 was the 328th consecutive month with global temperatures warmer than the 20th century average; the last time global temperatures were below average was February 1985. We've now had three consecutive top-five warmest months on record; April 2012 was the 5th warmest April on record, and May 2012 was the 2nd warmest May on record. The increase in global temperatures relative to average, compared to March 2012 (16th warmest March on record) is due, in part, to warming waters in the Eastern Pacific, where a La Niña event ended in April, and borderline El Niño conditions now exist. Global satellite-measured temperatures in June for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were 4th or 3rd warmest in the 34-year record, according to Remote Sensing Systems and the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH). Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent during June 2012 was the smallest in the 46-year period of record. Wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, has a comprehensive post on the notable weather events of June in his June 2012 Global Weather Extremes Summary. Notably:
