Let's hope the mid-to-late September torch isn't prologned and is below 90.

Full blown light to moderate drizzle currently. I think the Euro was better off when it was Dr. No (Dry), what a whiff on that in the short range. 

The Euro has been terrible for months (not withstanding temps). It’s weird.

1-3" ? 

We do well in clippers sometimes - i think 2-4" is possible. Sun angle is lowering. 

Light rain has commenced.

This could be a car topper event. 

It's looking more and more like metal trashcan lid topper.

Somehow it always knows the Mason Dixon is.  Its almost like Mason and Dixon just stayed home and dry a line where the precip stopped and said "There you go MD , PA DE and WV."

 

 

Storms from the south hear the failure of Lee and don't want to show face back in Gettysburg for fear of ridicule.

Oh, I hope you don't have a cuff issue. I'm already going crazy being in this sling and I still have 5 weeks to go. Then the real rehab comes after that. I'll make it, but it's a real test of patience and fortitude. Especially if you're an independent person (like me) who doesn't like relying on others for help.

Hope whatever's bugging your shoulder is minor and temporary.

I think it’s more a trap or deltoid issue - think it’s too far up to be a cuff. 

Hottest summer ever in Harrisburg. But where’s the heat, some say! CTP posted this today;

Yea incredibly nice late summer morning. Next few days should be very nice - wet too. 
 

In other news I fear I caught @Voyager’s rotator cuff issue on my left shoulder. It kills me when lying down or moving it in a clockwise motion. Ugh, hope it’s not torn and just a small tear that can heal with time.

Is it me or has there been a higher amount of tornado activity in NY state and New England?


.

It certainly seems like Massachusetts and Connecticut especially are getting a lot more severe than previously. 

ANNOUNCEMENT 

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS 

THE FORECAST HIGH MONDAY IS 74.

SEVENTY-FOUR. 

Let’s go streaking to celebrate!

Really nice little cell moving through as @Blizzard of 93 mentioned. It’s a quick mover - we we’re out for. Active and parked in Front St and watched it move across the river. 

Looking SW that storm down past Carlisle looks dark as hell. 

We've got some thunder and nice rain, a little gusty even. Looks like it'll last a while too. 

Very cool timelapse from Pittsburgh this morning.

It is sort of an interesting "civil war" here on the boards with Sandy. 

My wife and I spent a week volunteering on Long Island to help with relief efforts. What we saw and experienced is something that I'll never forget. I can understand the emotion and respect given to that storm from the people who actually lived through it. 

Having said that - my wife also went to Houston to help with relief efforts after Harvey. Can't really compare the two storms, but on a very personal level they were remarkably similar. The personal toll and devastation was very raw, very real at the human level. In both situations, the emotional response from the residents was something special. My wife's team was rebuilding a home in Pearland - people that were obviously complete strangers, but for that family to have an army of volunteers to come in to their home and clean up and rebuild was equally special and emotional for my wife and her team to help as it was for the family whose home they rebuilt. 

It's sort of a shame that Sandy has become almost divisive. When a storm, any storm, affects YOUR neighborhood and YOUR livelihood, it becomes very personal. Sure, it's easy and "fun" to compare storms and their effects but I wish people would just be respectful and understanding when people share their feelings because to them - it's personal. For those that went through Sandy - Sandy is the benchmark. For those living in Tuscaloosa back in 2011 (my wife also provided relief there) it's personal. For those in Houston who went through Harvey - it's personal. Let's respect that and resist saying that my storm was worse than yours was. It's sort of pointless at that level. 

Thank you for helping during Harvey. I know so many who lost everything - including family. They lived in Pearland, you might have helped someone we know. Small world. 

Also the Cajun Navy was one of the most amazing things to witness - ever.

Here come all the stories of how NYC will be destroyed. 

If a stalling sub-950 mb hurricane comes up and hits NJ/NY from the southwest keeping the rivers and harbor in the NE eyewayll ... that's gonna create issues that will destroy so many sectors of this economy and culture I don't even know what to say. 

I thought it had rained but zero evidence ... dirt isn’t even slightly wet. So maybe just wind blown mist.

It rained for literally 45 seconds. 

Those storms were obliterated by the mountains. Might get some light rain though. 

Yea I’m seeing already hw this is gonna split southern Dauphin/Cumberland/Perry/Historic Maytown. 

The Euro was AWFUL with Laura. The GFS nailed it.
