All Activity

I only looked at my point and click and it lost the rain lol

???? I just clicked through all the varsity models on TT and they all have it in some shape or form? None are 2-3” of rain in the overnight runs, but still solid…more like 1.5-2”.

Poof goes the weekend storm. I wonder if we go full severe drought and water restrictions here soon.

Wonder if the month as a whole will be AN

58 here as well. Perfect! This is my kind of morning. Sad part is that by the end of the week/weekend. The lows are going back down into the mid 40's.......again.

Your chart shows how the county station network that you are curating has changed over the years. Not surprising high temperature records peaked in the 1930+40s.. Phoenixville's high temperatures spiked in the 1930+40s, much higher than nearby stations. Low temperatures are impacted by the movement of COOP stations from built-up towns after World War II. The current station set contains many stations in remote locations with good radiating conditions. Shows how much recent warming Chester County has had that cold nighttime stations like Warwick they can't beat the suburban COOP lows from the 1980s and 90s. On-the-other hand precipitation isn't as strongly impacted by station changes as temperature and the station network picks up the wet conditions in recent decades. Not sure about network changes impacting snow as many of the temperature stations don't measure snow. We aren't getting much snow this decade despite the number of higher elevation stations that we didn't have in the past, your house a good example. Chester County is a great example of how misleading simple analysis methods can be when the station population changes.

That was a mild night. 57F currently but it was 67F at 2am. Not humid (dews near 50F), just clouds and breeze didn’t allow any radiation at all.

Only made it to 64 here on the water in Mattapoisett with a stiff breeze. Felt great. Today will be warmer.

58 degrees and cloudy this morning. Picked .02 of rain from a few showers yesterday.

Maybe we can get a slight risk out of Wednesday?? KEY MESSAGES... - Much above normal temps today followed by a brief cooldown near the coast Monday. Then near record heat possible Tuesday and Wednesday. - Isolated strong thunderstorms are possible in the interior Tuesday afternoon, with a better chance of scattered strong to severe storms Wednesday. - Cooler, more seasonable temperatures late in the week.

00z 3k NAM has a very impressive area of ingredients coming together in Northern Indiana and immediately surrounding areas for Monday afternoon. Nice sounding in South Bend. The HRRR much less impressive therefore I’m not showing it

Tropical moisture coming. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Yes! Jack!!

The Nats currently have the most runs scored (252) and runs allowed (262) in all of MLB. lol.

the Nats are a fascinating team - top tier offense (literally on par with the Dodgers or Braves) with AAA pitching. Wild night most nights lol.

Only 8.75” on the year so far. We know how this will end — not with increasing and steady rains, but with flood watches and warnings. Keep up the good posts, drought guy.

So many confused weenies

50mph southeasterlies on the north side of the southeast Iowa anvil rain. Don't think it's a wake low, seems like the southeasterly surface winds are being enhanced by the MCS somehow.

MY suet feeders are empy after the last two weeks- incredible. I have eight of them. This is because when freezes hit in late April into May, they can severely damage: Serviceberries Mulberries Wild cherries Dogwood berries Early insect hatches Flowering fruit trees and shrubs That creates a temporary natural food shortage for many birds, especially: Baltimore orioles Catbirds Woodpeckers Bluebirds Wrens Chickadees Grackles Starlings Suet suddenly becomes one of the highest-calorie foods available, so birds aggressively raid feeders even outside normal winter behavior. You may also notice: Birds staying at feeders much longer Increased territorial fighting Species eating suet that normally ignore it in May Birds tearing through feeders in 1–2 days More activity early morning and before storms A late freeze can also reduce caterpillars and soft-bodied insects that nesting birds desperately need for protein right now. A few things you can do to help temporarily: Best Foods Right Now Plain suet or insect suet Mealworms Peanut pieces Black oil sunflower Orange halves for orioles Jelly in small amounts Avoid Overheating Problems As temperatures rise in Pennsylvania: Use “no-melt” suet blends Keep suet in shade Replace spoiled suet quickly Expect This to Improve If weather stabilizes, natural food sources usually rebound within: 1–3 weeks for insects Several weeks for berry-producing shrubs You may especially notice a rebound after warm rainy nights, when insect populations recover quickly. Pennsylvania’s recent late spring freeze has caused significant damage to fruit trees, berry-producing plants, flowering shrubs, vineyards, and early insect populations across the state. Apples, peaches, cherries, blueberries, grapes, serviceberries, and other fruit crops suffered blossom and young fruit losses after temperatures dropped into the low 20s during critical growing periods. At the same time, many early insects and caterpillars — an important protein source for nesting birds — were also reduced by the prolonged cold weather. As a result, many birds that normally rely on natural spring food sources such as berries, fruit, nectar, seeds, and insects are now aggressively turning to backyard feeders for survival. This is why suet feeders are being hit unusually hard this spring, even by species that may not normally rely heavily on suet during warmer weather. Suet provides a high-calorie, high-fat energy source that helps birds recover quickly during a period when natural foods are scarce or delayed. Increased nesting activity, colder nighttime temperatures, and the physical demands of breeding season are also causing birds to consume much larger amounts of food than normal. Many residents throughout Pennsylvania are reporting increased feeder traffic, longer feeding times, and more competition among birds as they adapt to these temporary environmental conditions. While the media has covered the agricultural impacts of the freeze — including major losses to orchards and vineyards — far less attention has been given to the secondary wildlife impacts now becoming visible in neighborhoods and rural areas. Agricultural losses are easier to quantify through crop damage and financial impacts, while changes in bird behavior are more difficult to measure scientifically in real time. In many ways, the unusually heavy activity now being seen at backyard suet feeders may be one of the clearest visible indicators of the broader environmental stress caused by Pennsylvania’s late spring freeze. A lot of birders throughout the Mid-Atlantic have reported unusual feeder pressure after this freeze pattern.

Cold and windy down the Cape today. Not the best.

Definitely felt like summer. That a good pool temp for this early.

MSP area is gonna get smacked pretty hard tomorrow evening.

Welcome to the summer of 2026.

With the way things have gone the last 4 months in this area, when you wake up Tues morning it will all change to sun and dry conditions

We hit 90* today after a low of 52*. DP did hit 60 around 1245pm today.
