MONTHLY SUMMARY	

This was a pretty typical June for both temperatures and precipitation. The month began relatively cool, minus
the first couple of days, and gradually warmed - as an overall trend - throughout the month. Despite the
apparent coolness, temperatures were moderately above normal, singlehandedly driven above by milder than normal
overnight lows, a prominent pattern over the past 10 years. Unlike the previous 3 years, particularly in 2012,
there was a lack of any extreme heat, with only one day reaching 90. There was also a lack of any particularly
cool readings.

While precipitation finally nudged slightly above average for the first month in 2013, this particular location
repeatedly missed the heavy downpours that hit many nearby stations and many other parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
Nor did the modest rainfall total remotely reflect an unusually active pattern for early summer. A slow-moving
front and the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea combined for just over an inch of rain on the 6th-7th, but the
vast majority of the tropical rains dumped east of the mountains closer to the coast. Heavy rain developed in
advance of a cold front on the 10th, again dumping very heavy rain on the same areas hit hard the 6th-7th. A 
vigorous system on the morning of the 13th brought severe thunderstorms to some nearby areas but weakened as it
reached us. A large complex of storms on the 25th-26th soaked areas to our north but dropped zero rain here,
and heavy rain merely missed us again on the 27th, with well over an inch in Cumberland but only .36" here.
