Faint aurora over Gitche Gumee last night.

62 / 51 and on the way to upper 70s to low/mid 80s today. A touch warmer tomorrow with some mid 80s and some stray 90. About the same Monday before stronger heat low - mid 90s Tue / Wed. Wed front / clouds timing the caveat. Front comes through Wed night into Thu with the next shot at rain / showers / thunderstorms >.50. Cools down Thu - Sat before warming back up as ridge builds over Memoridal day weekend. Overall warmer beyond with next shot at heat 5/26 - 5/30.

About 0.43" of rain here overnight. It was nice to hear thunder and rain on the roof again.

Euro and GFS AI models very bullish for a washout holiday weekend. Would rather it be during the week of course, but 2-3” of rain over 2-4 days is sooo needed.

Did I win the install competition by never taking them out of the windows last Fall? All four are locked and loaded for the heat next week. Though I may not need it in my coastal location thanks to sea breezes...

Volunteering at Hampstead Day today, if you’re in the area come by and say hi! I’ll be at a dance studio table

88° at your glacial moraine is a torch

I got stuck doing Hazleton loads yesterday. That godforsaken place has a whole different climate from even Tamaqua. Save for a brief period of sunshine, it was mostly overcast and windy up there, and I had to wear my hoodie almost all day. I checked the local stations and it didn't get above 60 the whole time I was up there. The Hazleton climate is the main reason why I hate delivering to that customer.

Boring ass weather sucks. It's almost June and I've only heard one rumble of distant thunder so far this spring. Soooooo Boring
