Itstrainingtime

Thursday and Saturday rainfall totaled just .37" here. (.02" on Saturday)

46 in Maytown. Coolest morning of the season.

MU talkin' drought today. Extended looking very dry.

Absolutely; however, watching them struggle in games like today doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence when we play those teams.

Getting beat on both sides of line of scrimmage.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch for SE counties in CTP.

The entirety of next week looks nothing short of spectacular. After that, a bone extended to our warm weather lovers. Behind Saturday's cold front, winds will turn northwesterly and usher a much cooler, drier and less humid air mass into the mid-Atlantic States on Sunday. Skies should clear by the mid-to-late morning hours, and the rest of the day will turn out mostly sunny and pleasant with high temperatures in the mid 70s for most. A refreshing, 8-16 mph breeze out of Canada will cause dewpoints to tumble into the mid-to-upper 40s by late Sunday afternoon or evening, as well (see below). Needless to say, the weather during the second half of the weekend is shaping up to be absolutely spectacular and perfect for outdoor activities. Better yet, a sprawling high pressure system of Canadian origin will settle into the Commonwealth by Monday and then hold its ground across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic States through the rest of the week. That means Sunday's autumnal air mass will be sticking around from Monday-Friday and perhaps even through the following weekend. The large-scale subsidence, or sinking motion, associated with the high pressure system will thwart both clouds and precipitation, so skies should be mainly clear during most if not all of next week. Humidity will also remain very low with dewpoints no higher than the low-to-mid 50s. The combination of light winds, dry air and clear skies will promote efficient, radiational cooling at night, so low temperatures should bottom out in the chilly mid-to-upper 40s on 4 consecutive mornings (Monday-Thursday). They may hold in the low 50s in downtown York, Lancaster and Harrisburg each night, but that will still be perfect for sleeping with the windows wide open and turning off the A.C. Afternoons will be pleasantly cool with highs in the low-to-mid 70s from Monday-Wednesday and upper 70s to low 80s on Thursday. A weak cold front may slide southward through the Commonwealth on Thursday night, but there won't be a drop of rain associated with it. Instead, the front will simply bring a reinforcing shot of cooler air into the region next weekend with highs on Saturday and Sunday similar or identical to Monday-Wednesday. Don't be fooled by the persistently cool weather, though! There are signs that a significant warmup could occur during the third week of September with perhaps one last run at a 90-degree day or two. One thing's for sure.. after tomorrow, I have no idea when measurable rain will fall again. Then again, that's not abnormal in the absence of tropical activity during the month of September. Lather on the sunscreen and "enjoy the calm!"

Correct. My original post had emotion as I hate to see someone from a local team cross boundaries. There was a lot going on and my comment shouldn't have been so one-sided. There's been ongoing debate for years on the role that athletes play when it comes to visible behavior. Some don't like the idea of being a role model. Well, much like my 3 year old granddaughter watches and listens to every move and word that Pappy makes, athletes likewise are viewed under the same lens. Like it not, a whole lot of kids of all ages have Carter jerseys that they wear and behavior such as last night's tarnishes the image for many.

Disgusting behavior tonight by Jalen Carter. And to cap it off he laughed at himself. Most people in most jobs get fired for that kind of stuff. I hope he gets suspended for a long time.

You did much better than I did - .32" is my total.

68 in Maytown with 0.23" of rain for the day. Much, much worse storm down here at work. One of the best of the season. Near zero visibility along with very strong winds.

79 and sunny at 11:15. Southerlies are pumping in more humid air now quickly.

Friday is quietly trending incrementally warmer...new forecast high this morning for Lanco is 88. Regardless, that kind of warmth will be a memory once again by Sunday.

Thank you! This is awesome stuff. Really appreciate your time and effort to put it all together. It's a great read and easy to understand.

Just to add to the August climate summary, MU came in BN for the month for temps and it was tied for the driest August on record.

My coldest August temp ever came in 1982 - got down to 38.8. I need to check the exact date. I believe there were Frost Advisories except for Lancaster and York counties.

Did you take a selfie doing it?

70 and sunny here in Maytown at 10:35am. Good to be home sweet home.

71 here in Savannah GA. Feels like fall after being in the Keys.

Guessing it will be almost ideal by August standards for the PSU kickoff tomorrow? Sounds like it couldn't be a better football day this early in the season.

Please, please let it be nice when I get home. 2 weeks of ridiculous heat (I mean, I asked for it by choosing to come down here in August) and now I'm ready for a break from this. We've been to the Everglades, Miami and the keys. The Overseas Highway did not disappoint. Quite a contrast from Mammoth Lakes but I've enjoyed them both equally. Heading north tomorrow.

My current HI is 107 and it's not even 11am. 92/77 here in Key West. Here until Friday, back home Sunday. Saw the cold front made it all the way down to southern Georgia. Impressive for August.

0.65" of rain. Very nice. Leaving in the morning for 2 weeks in Florida. Bucket list trip including the Overseas Highway. Back at the end of the month.

Just read on MU's X account that parts of Cumberland County are over 2" for today so far.
