Low was 44°F this morning. Currently 50°F as we carry on about the Great Drought of 2024. 

Back to Saturday for a sec - you questioned me why I was concerned about PSU - WVU?

I got my response for 'ya...Saturday happened. 

My nervousness IS well warranted. 

47.3 this morning which is the 3rd coolest of the season to date. 

Finished with 0.23" of rain on Saturday.

I know we all complain about various weather issues but in the grand scheme of things I love where we live and wouldn’t trade it for anywhere.

Our location/climate is perfectly balanced that offers snow weenies hope for big dog storms, plenty of summer heat and bouts of refreshing weather as well. Only thing that would push me away is to be close to family. I love it here.

At 5am I was down @mitchnick old stomping grounds dropping off our daughter and her family at BWI. Beautiful fall morning drive down and back. Doesn't sound so nice where they're now at. (Palm Coast FL)

Embarrassing. 

Northern Illinois made me feel a little better.

The Penn Stater is killing you.

This field is an abomination. Feels like a crapshoot with whichever team can keep its footing. 

Probably one of the worst dry fields played on in a long time.

I'll say this much, no I'm complaining about going down to the obx, but driving it in 1 day from here vs. my old place near BWI in a real pita, especially on a Friday. I should be in the middle of rush hour once I get to Norfolk. Arrrrrg!

I'm probably the only one stupid enough to do this, but I enjoy it so I keep doing it. Long ago I tired of the 95>64>168/158 nightmare getting to OBX. About 10 years ago I added more time but subtracted tons of stress by taking Delaware 1>113>13 across the CBBT into Va. Beach and then down 168/158 to OBX. That drive on 13 through the Delmarva is so much more relaxing than than the 95/64 mess.

Low of 58. Not optimistic for much, if any, rain here tomorrow. 

Our rainfall outlook been reduced yet again - now down to the lowest shading of QPF possible:

You have a bigger yard in midtown than most people do.

Is this the topic to discuss the Great Fall 2024 drought? 

For those outside of Marysville, yes. 

Can the subforum snatch a snowy winter from the jaws of La Nina? The countdown begins now.

Unwind those hoses, boys. 

Uhh...

Nah. I'm not touching that. 

But...MU said that he expects dry weather through October minus any tropical activity.

12Z models are getting even drier for much of the rest of Sept first half. 

It is amazing how much drier WPC has gone in just 24 hours:

This represents a HUGE reduction in QPF for all of PA, but especially so over the southern 3rd of the state.

I am already back to watering.  I can do it a little less now with the lower amounts of sun and better temps.  Just twice a week. 

We have been watering every day now for the past 2 weeks. We had gone away for several days, came back and our flowers were dead and the veggies weren't much better.

GFS is bad for precip but if we miss Fri/Sat it is much worse and 100% dry.   This qpf for our area below is all from this weekend.

 

WPC somewhat mirrors the GFS:

What is your elevation difference? I find that on calm cool mornings the higher spots like mine radiate poorly - but on mornings like yesterday with cold air advection higher spots like mine will often come in cooler....might be the same there??

Negligible - a matter of a few feet. The airport station is actually a few feet higher.

Another low of 48 for eastern West Hempfield Township. Man this weather is pure gold. 

You'll probably appreciate this nugget of weather..."oddity" - yesterday, the airpark on Donegal Springs Road dropped to 49.1 for the low, which was 4.7 degrees higher than my 44.4 reading. We are separated by 2/10ths of a mile, and on clear, calm cool mornings the airpark typically runs 1-3 degrees lower than me. And yet yesterday...they were nearly 5 full degrees warmer.

Huh.

Speaking of football - look forward to Texas going to Michigan Saturday and flexing muscle and showing them what the fastest team in college looks like. 

Hook the fuk out of Shitigan!

Povich passed this test

He sure did. Much, much needed.

Marquee matchup tonight: 2 pitchers with a combined record of 1-13 with ERAs either side of 7.00. O's better be ready to score runs. Maybe a lot of runs.
