Blizzard of 93

This might be a first for me.... I am posting weather model maps that do not involve snow! Here is the 6z Euro for the tropical storm this week. The Euro tracks the low well inland into southern VA. Here is also the total precip through the end of this run at 90 hours.

Good Saturday morning everyone. Here is the latest from the NHC on Isaias. This should be an interesting few days of tracking. Hopefully we get a good soaking rain from this one.

How much for far southeast Perry County?

Yes, many posters take that approach even before a winter event. Then, if a let down happens, they love to tell everyone “I told you so...!” I really get frustrated by those posts every year in the winter. Those posts are oftentimes based on nothing, but somehow they claim victory & rub it in the faces of those posters that tracked an event for 10 days!

It looks like the Mid Atlantic 20-21 Winter preview thread already cancelled next season!

Lol! One can only hope! We need our poster that lists the charts with the stats for us sometimes to look into this soon.

Oh no!!! Local fresh Sweet Corn, especially from Lancaster County, is one of the few things that I look forward to every summer. When is the next good chance of showers to save our sweet corn?

Before you know it, his drought watch will turn into a flood watch at this rate!

Yes, it was a very nice evening after our late afternoon showers. We really needed that rain today. My grass seemed to green up a little this evening after the rain!

This place is a lot of fun most days. Some of us that usually hibernate in the summer have been posting more recently, which adds to the enjoyment. Thanks to you & @Itstrainingtime ,along with a few others, that keep this place going all year round!

No Winter can possibly be more disappointing than last year! We were due for a clunker of a Winter and the law of averages caught up with us in a historically terrible way! We can only improve over last year’s disaster!

Congrats! We had a rumble or 2 of thunder and steady rain for about 20 minutes. Every little bit helps the yard & garden!

It looks like a good thunderstorm is inbound now to historic Maytown!

I am thankful for the lower dew points and the occasional breeze today. The next time that we don’t get above 85 will feel like a cool snap!

Might as well go for it!

He has been getting all of the rain this summer! It would be nice if he would share some with @Bubbler86 & @Cashtown_Coop

Thanks for the update, but no thanks to all of this Heat! I can’t wait until September. Only a little over 40 days to go!

I agree, in certain times moving the goalposts can lead to a mess depending on the business or the situation. Should someone get a speeding ticket if they are going 56 mph in a 55 mph zone? In business, I certainly understand. If you are a salesperson, and your goal is to sell 100 items, but you only sold 99, then you had a decent month, but you did Not meet your goal. “Close” would not get you the bonus money that month. Here, we are merely talking about the weather and the message that needs sent in regard to perception of the forecast by the general public. I think that most people would rather be Advised or Warned if we are very “close” to the criteria of extreme heat, cold, snow or severe thunderstorm. If people see or hear “Advisory” or “Warning”, then they can make better decisions to protect their life or property.

Their old motto says that their priority is to “protect life & property”. I fully understand criteria & evaluation based on solid numbers. Sometimes “close enough” is directly on point to accomplish a goal. Does the general public know the difference between a Heat Index of 98 versus 102? It is HOT & Dangerous for certain activities...they should do what they can to put the word out. These Advisories & Warnings get the attention of people.

I realize that there is criteria, but I think that they should follow the spirit of the law instead of the letter of the law more often. I understand that they need to draw a line somewhere, but they should at least try to coordinate more with their regional border offices. I also find it interesting that at least the entire LSV is not in the Advisory, especially when all of the MD border counties (except for Garrett) have one posted. It is like not putting up a Winter Storm warning because they forecast 5 inches of snow instead of 6. Is it better for them to follow their criteria to “win” that battle, instead of adhering to their main purpose of warning the public of extreme weather?

Let’s play a game, find CTP on this map...we must be on the cool island here.

I see that CTP decided to put up a Heat Advisory for only a small part of the LSV...? No Advisory for me, @sauss06 or @Bubbler86 , so we should be nice and cool over here with no concerns for excessive heat! Somehow, there is a Heat Advisory for the southern tier counties of NY, but only a few counties in CTP seem to qualify?

@MAG5035 Is there any hope for this terrible heat pattern breaking down any time soon?

I’m a little surprised that CTP does not have a Heat Advisory posted for this weekend. Mt. Holly has Advisories posted for the counties that border CTP.

It won’t be too long before I’m posting 384 hour snow maps again!
