Rain on the doorstep here….maybe Monday late morning it clears out….and we salvage…hope so.

probably both get together to make a decision

Who determines if a game is postponed ? The home team or MLB ? Perfect decision favoring the Yankees because Tampa Bay is in first and HOT and the Yanks are NOT !

Low of 34F. Already 61F and nice out.

The heaviest precipitation was always expected for later this afternoon and overnight…still looking on track for most areas to get .5-1.5” today and tonight with more coming tomorrow night and Monday.

Seems like a major forecast bust per my PWS, but too bad it’s not a little colder?

Brutal.

Euro's been doing that all along

56 / 42 NE flow - cool , cloudy showers. What should tally up to 4 more days of mainly clouds with the brunt of the >1.00 - 2.00 inches of rain saturday night into Sunday night. Pokes of some sun Monday and Tuesday but slow to clear out. Much nicer Wed - Thu low 80s. Next cut off backs down and in between Fri and through next weekend and id wager it trends unsettled as ridge balloons into candada. Ridge finally expands east 6/3 - beyond pushing above normal overall.

At 10:00am here in Carlisle, the temperature is 48.7 degrees. The low occurred 2 hours ago at 48.0. Light rain is falling at the moment. Since midnight I have recorded 0.90" of precipitation. Yesterday I recorded 0.25" for a 2-day total of 1.15". My high temperature (like most others) occurred at midnight and was 53.1 degrees. Of note, my high temperatures during the "heat wave" just a few days ago was 88.5 on the 17th, 96.4 on the 18th, 93.6 on the 19th, and I'll throw in 87.6 on the 20th. The heat (in my house) is back on again...lol.

Trying to predict rainfall amounts in this set up is next to impossible IMO. Models don't have a handle on exactly where the heavier precip will occur. More than likely there will be a wide range of amounts spread throughout the region IMO.

It won’t bust the drought but this weekend and upcoming week is going to significantly bruise it. Up to 1.31” here myself and luckily it’s mostly fallen as steady soaking rain.

Deep summer weekend

Did ok with this forecast. A little off in the above map for Monday, but thought that might be the case as main front is through the sub by then. Conditions improve from W to E over the weekend. Enjoy your weekend EV1!

Temperatures across the area have dropped into the 40's after a midnight high in the low 50's. Today will be breezy and raw with rain increasing as we move through the afternoon and especially tonight. Most of the steadiest rain should exit Chester County to the east by later tomorrow morning. Most areas should see around an inch of rain by tomorrow afternoon. Some showers will continue on Monday begore we finally dry out on Tuesday. We briefly warm up to above normal temperatures by Wednesday before we trend back to below normal temperatures by the end of the week and into next weekend.

3k actually clears out most the area Monday afternoon. That would be a nice win for what will overall be a crappy weekend.

will need the heat here later and tonight for sure---52 and very light rain

Tops this list of 10 worst https://weather.com/storms/tornado/news/2019-04-12-ten-worst-tornadoes-in-us

Nothing like firing up the pellet stove on a Memorial day weekend. Sunday looks awesome..

Had to turn the heat on....51 outside. 66 inside.

Theme for pretty much the last two years... QPF overmodeled

I was hping for some dowpours today. That is quickly dimisishing on this morning radar echo returns The hopes of getting out this drought are disapppearing. Everytime heavier bands form out in south western PA they race up to the center part of the state and cannot cross the Blue Mts. .25 daily inch rains are not good enough. It only allows the surface vegetation like grasses to say green longer. We should have a bumper crop yields for grains this year but at this time even the corn looks threaten and weak. This cold weather is unbearable. Coldest Memorial day I can ever remember. I have the space heater running in my office as solar raditonal heat cannot recover the temps in the house the next 3 days. Still wearing sweatshirts after this last heatwave. Wll , the landscaping mowing businesses will be loving this weather after the hoilday as they will be mowing everything that grew a foot high this weekend.
