All Activity

Down in Plymouth. Lunch and drinks on the water.

No way does even 2 in even verify today. Absolutely no training of t storms. Air is too stable and too dry. Just enough rain to keep the pollen down today. I only had a .40 inch of rain yesterday- very localized. 2 day total --.70 inch of rain. Still no drought buster rains for sure but it does help the garden.

It loves to do that down there. May sell that.

Yeah no one ever said we were going to get four to six inches region-wide in 24 hours. Strawman.

We had rain earlier. I for one do not want my weekend ruined. Rain Monday into Tuesday is fine and timed much better for people who want to do stuff on their weekends.

Raining

People who like that much rain are very strange people and make up less than 00000000000.1% of the population I'm sure. Unless you have a farm in Nebraska or Iowa you shouldn't want so much rain, and even then, floods are FAR more damaging than droughts could EVER be. I'm also not convinced that natural rain is better than our own watering, nature is not always better, especially with all the pollution in our air. I was reading that we have no federal limits on arsenic (wtf) and there's arsenic in rain water. Every little bit adds up. I'd much rather have my own filtered source of water, something that I can control the chemical composition of, rather than relying on nature for anything. And I find all talk of drought to be ridiculous when 70% of our planet is covered in water. If humanity wasn't so lazy we could create our own *rain* whenever we wanted by simply taking water from the ocean and properly filtering it to the chemical composition we want. Plus, like normal people,. I love my clear blue skies :-)

Update: 0.10! Regardless, I could care less that we received the shorter end of the forecast around here. Yesterday turned out to a beautiful day to be outside and today turned out to be a good day to get yardwork done.

There’s that crazy gradient. We’re less than 10mi apart and think I’m about 0.8” for the month

2024 was the 25th year out of the last 26 years that NOAA has continued to alter the data with warming adjustments vs the actual data for Chester County PA. This of course follows the cooling adjustments done to alter a whopping 99 of the previous 105 years of data.

0.50” total here looks like some clearing moving in from the sw maybe some sun can destabilize us for more storms later

Up to .75” so far. Only 9.25” to go for the Euro to verify. Stating the obvious, this is much welcomed. I kicked up so much dust mowing yesterday you’d think it was August.

Strange, low 60s and sheet drizzle SW Nassua. Hasn’t even soaked through the trees.

Yeah your stuff is more Tues/Wed and eastward… like the 3km NAM doesn’t go out far enough to show all of it. I’ll say your station does 2”+ by Thursday AM. Its a healthy soak but yeah, not like a 4-6” flooder in 24 hours.

A little late but below is the April Climate Summary for Chester County. April finished 1.9 degrees above our normal average temperature which is our 27th warmest April since records began in 1893. The top 10 warmest are avg temp (year) 57.3 (1921) / 57.2 (2017)/ 56.7 (1941) / 56.5 (1915) / 55.8 (2019) / 55.7 (1945) / 55.5 (1942) / 55.5 (1910) / 55.4 (1960) and 55.4 (2023)

Rain has been a gradient, almost all of AAco is on the losing side .

I don’t disagree on 1-2” or so. Which is nice but boring

0.15" total for the month W of BWI, not exactly what I was hoping for

Earlier Euro was impressive along the coastal boundary. I think you’ll get a decent drink. 2”+ by EOD Wednesday seems reasonable.

There’s talk of rain next weekend, anything supporting it?

Doesn't really matter. AEMATT

I'm not a fan of gloomy weekend days, but this is good. A nice steady soaker. 1.14" so far today, and 1.68" since Friday night.

Rain moving in here, 64 degrees.

meh 3 to 4 total for me and you including what already fell.. keeping my call from the other day and mentioned about a week ago.. some lucky spots get 5 or 6.. western areas maybe someone lucky gets a bit more
