As of a few hours ago, the fire was under control.

Those showers up north can't seem to break over the blue ridge...
Downslope evaporation

Hoping the shield breaks

I must say I have enjoyed Walt Drag's AFDs the past couple days. I like the occasional use of exclamation points.

Question for the Mount Holly guys- how come the Mount Holly station hasn't been reporting lately?

The dry weather is good for high school tennis season, we have only had one match postponed this year. Last year at this point, we already had about 5.

There is a comms problem. The techs continue to work on it.

I didn't complain much in winter but these 30% chance showers forecasts are killing me.

Somebody do something!

Yep, that .01 inch of downpour really helped the grass and flowers. Was just enough to leave pollen spots on the cars

ridiculous! did you have to axe through your roof to survive?

according to the 18z GFS, the next "big" chance of more than a pop up shower is next wed with a fropa.

Not sure about the official status of the French Creek fire, but drove along the eastern edge yesterday and still alot of smoke
in the air, so I'm guessing there are still hot spots. Saw a sign along the road thanking the fire fighters, state police, etc.

Depending on wind direction, we've had smoke in air at home about 10 miles away for most of the week.

35.7 for a nice cool morning. 5 mornings below freezing so far for the month - maybe another tomorrow.

The last report I saw was that the fire was 95 percent contained, and fire crews are to begin 'mop up' work today.

Well, one thing about the dry weather is the grass isn't really growing much - so I've only had to mow once this year. It'll be interesting to see how warm it can get Sunday/Monday/

Pea size hail here at NWS Mount Holly about 10 minutes ago. Some other stronger looking showers should also be producing some small hail.

Here in Lake Naomi in the poconos we had a shower that came through which sported graupel, sleet and some snow.

Nice pics.

Even though we haven't got much rain, at least the sky's been cool to look at lately.
