Itstrainingtime

Just went out for lunch. I don't see how anyone could find fault with the weather today. It's just simply stellar.

It's very windy and I'm sitting out in an open high school football stadium, and the temp is 64 here, so to me, and my thyroid induced chill, I'd rather it be warmer and less windy.

Well - If Elliott from MU is right, we're looking at 25-35 days of temps in the 90s from July right through September. Plenty of heat is coming. More heat than normal, actually.

This is NOT my idea of post Memorial Day weather...

Interesting...normal high for today is 77. Today's high locally was 77. 

Dewpoint check: (not so patiently waiting for the muggies to get out of here)

CXY: 61

Love it.  Man, this rain is much more robust than anything modeled or forecast for up this way.  We actually had a downpour a little while ago here in Harrisburg and still raining very steadily. 

Maytown must be one of the unlucky areas this morning - just checked and I've only added .02" to bring my total to .07". Even less has fallen at the airpark.

Good to hear! I'll take whatever we can possibly get.

Remarkable consistency in my observations lately, with three consecutive days of nearly exactly a third of an inch, then an even one-incher, followed by three consecutive tenth-of-an-inch type days.  I understand this probably only interests me ha.  carry on.

20-May	Heavy Rain	0.34
21-May	Rain	0.33
22-May	Rain	0.33
23-May	Rain	1.00
24-May	Rain	0.11
25-May	Rain	0.10
26-May	Rain	0.10

No, this is the stuff my dreams are made of. I love all things numbers. I went to my first MLB game back in 1971 at the Vet. I can tell you the paid attendance for that game to the exact number. I've had it memorized for 55 years. That's just how I'm wired. 

I had .05" of rain early this morning. It looks like we'll get wet again soon but not to the extent that I'll experience here at work and farther south. 

All of the wet weather and the Susky is barely flinching in response. Total rise in Marietta looks to be about a foot, and some 10' below flood stage. One of the testaments of how dry it's been over the long haul. 

Total rainfall since last Thursday - 2.48".

The heat is on for the third straight day.

It’s unfortunate, but it would be damp & miserably chilly without it. The time of year makes no difference, it’s all about the current temperature reality over multiple days.

My house is still at 65. I typically turn the heat on when it gets down to 58.

Agree 100% on the time of year. Several years ago I had the AC cranked on Christmas Eve.

Low of 49 and exactly 1.00” of additional rainfall, bringing my four day total to an even 2.00”. Love it. 

I'm now at 2.32" for the event.

Temp down to 49. 0.91" of rain today

Yeah there’s not a chance I’m running heat on Memorial Day weekend haha. House is at 66 and feels great. 

I can't believe we're at what is normally peak heating on May 23rd and sitting at 50 degrees. Incredible.

47 degrees and windy. .35” of rain

Coal stove feels nice this morning.

My AC hasn't run since yesterday afternoon and of course no heat but my indoor temp is holding firm at 65. With it warming up a bit tomorrow I should easily stay in the 60s.

51 with some drizzle here. 0.64" so far, 3-day total is now at 1.44". Radar is uninspiring here in the LSV. Not a lot coming at us from MD/VA. Nonetheless, just got home from running some errands and it feels incredible outside.

I was just going to post this, thank you. They upped amounts again. It's go time.

It’s ridiculous that I need to have heat on in the house this Memorial Day weekend, but here we are…

Please, please tell me that you're not serious...

My garden and landscaping is rejoicing today. This is the perfect type of rain for veggies, fruits and flowers.

I like it.  The models certainly agree.  My temp is down to 55 as we approach the lunch hour, impressive. 

Ha, I came here specfically to post that my temp is down to a glorious 53 degrees. I finished with 0.21" of rainfall yesterday and am sitting at 0.19" so far today with rain falling.

Low of 60 and .34” of rain. Nice string of cool showery days ahead. 

MU going pretty big on rainfall totals with a general 1.50" - 3.00" for most with amounts nearing 4" along the M/D border. 

Temp is 72 with a thunderstorm in progress. Looks like we'll easily cash in on a quarter inch or so out of this. 

Watches have been hoisted for just about all of us.

Low of 67 with .02” of rain.  My P&C now has me failing to reach 90 today, guess we’ll see how early the cloud debris and storms start. 

Going to be close but I think we have a good shot at hitting it - I'm at 84.5 currently and it looks like another 2-3 hours of full sun to go.
