1.64” here on the western shore of the Bay. Glorious sleeping weather. Light rain continues, but probably only going to add a bit before it ends. Hi/Low so far is 62/52. Currently 58°

lol what? most of the week is 80s up here

if this is going to be one of the HHH summers on record you better hope things turn around soon

@LibertyBell's ideas remind me of one of my favorite excerpts from the sequel book of The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy: “If," ["the management consultant"] said tersely, “we could for a moment move on to the subject of fiscal policy. . .” “Fiscal policy!" whooped Ford Prefect. “Fiscal policy!" The management consultant gave him a look that only a lungfish could have copied. “Fiscal policy. . .” he repeated, “that is what I said.” “How can you have money,” demanded Ford, “if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn't grow on trees you know.” “If you would allow me to continue.. .” Ford nodded dejectedly. “Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.” Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed. “But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut." Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down. “So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances." The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

I still think the big heat is for the Midwest and west this year

even on the 12z Euro the HHH weather is gone.. I thought we would have a few really hot days next week.. now I'm not so sure..

Meh Saturday turning into a washout and the heat is gone next week. This is getting ridiculous

Yep. His original call was for .50" - 1.00" of rain which he doubled this morning. Just hit 1.00" of rain at home. Not sure I'll add more than another couple of tenths.

If there euro is right there could be a severe threat end of next week

Perhaps, Liberty, we should evaluate their advantages before ………………………….. As always ……

Only 58 degrees out there with the light rain coming down. Nasty day.

Another awesome day. Keep the cold going as long as possible

Yes, you can find a reason to dismiss the evidence; but, as usual you aren't providing any data analysis or statistics to back up your argument, just handwaving. You haven't shown that "The data is clearly materially and statistically close enough to all other available county data to validate the raw data as is." On the contrary, the biasing effect of the station moves is clear in the Chester County raw data. For instance, there is a roughly 2F shift in Coatesville relative to West Chester due to the 2 moves in 1946+47. The Coatesville station locations in 1945 and 1948 fully support the raw temperature data.

Euro looks like over the top warmth. Congrats PF to Tamarack on north.

euro doesn't look bad at all for next week, especially as the week progresses but there is something lurking off SE which could impede things a bit but it could be quite warm

unless it is the one model showing snow during the winter...

WB 12Z EURO....for the late Friday/ Saturday soaker

June contest, with seasonal max added, begins now ... will add annual scoring update to this post, May scoring post already exists (for final edit June 1st) before snowfall contest posts above ...

I actually don’t mind weekend rain. Keeps the population outside down when I’m out. I mean it’s not like I’m tied down indoors during the week save for Friday in the summer.

up to 1.60 so far still raining even though Jays Wintry Mix said it would stop between 11-12 because he saw the back edge on radar

Oh wow, good on him. I was just speaking to model-gazing, but that's why he's a pro. It does look like he's had to up his predicted amounts substantially. It looks like the record min max for MDT of 57 from 1996 has a chance to go down, although the station has spiked to 55 recently. I'll have to check the flight log.

There is a pretty good signal on the EPS for a wet weekend after next.

Yeah didn't like seeing that on the GGEM. GEFS still look OK though.

1.32” looks to be event total here

Very light rain so far. Barely wetting the ground
