BLOG: Maryland in a tropical state.....

Labor day is over and so is the unofficial end of summer.  Although there was rain over Labor Day weekend, I hope at some point you were able to get in a cook-out or trip to the beach.

I know the timing wasn't the best for rain, but it was and still is much needed. At this point we are 5.42 inches below normal since January 1st. With the help of a low that developed off the coast of the Carolinas last week, a dent was put in the rainfall total which at that time was close to 9 inches below normal since the first of the year.

Fortunately, Isaac's remnants will continue to push eastward and bring tropical downpours which will lower the rainfall deficit even more. Unfortunately, the chance for heavy rain brings the potential for flooding and conditions will remain very soupy and uncomfortable through Thursday.
