** away at Chincoteague Va. Drizzle, strong NE winds, coastal flood advisories with some coastal high tide flooding.
East flow as well back in the Mts. Posted some on Facebook page. Will fill in missing data and get up to speed when returning home. Today the 13th(data in this post is for the 12th) was another(3rd in row) of a east flow affect that affects areas that typically are worse with east flows(be it ice, fog, coolness) more so than areas west. In Garrett Big Savage to Friendsville is a large difference.

Cloudy early, scattered shower north. Then mix of clouds and sun.
Snippets of todays theme. The effect of wind direction, elevation. Across Garrett County Md sky conditions from Big Savage to Friendsville were exact opposites(well at Big Savage you could not see the sky) The influence there was easterly, moist, cooler….while west, and south the southwesterly breeze was in affect. Sky conditions were partly cloudy after the morning rains for a period before more rain pushed through. Then a return to the setup. Sun, fog….further south, the Wv highground ran milder than the lowlands east.
Rainfall amounts the past several days

This rain helped end a stretch of very dry weather. A dry stretch overall since Sept 5. That allowed area waterways to go below normal. This recent rain bounced waterways back to normal and just above for the date. Which this time of year, is a low water time typically anyhow.
Also to note- this assisted nicely in helping the North Fork Mt wildfire.
(some more tonight into tomorrow)

Lots of clouds overnight broke for a view of the Harvest Moon before dawn. Temps dropped into the upper 40s, low 50s in valleys briefly with brief clearing. More clouds than sun north during the daytime hours.
