12Z Suite mostly underwhelming for rain through the end of the weekend...about 1/2" on average.   With that said, D2 introduced for a small part of the LSV.

Northeast Drought Summary

Much of the Northeast experienced below average daytime high temperatures this week. Several locations in interior portions of the Northeast also received well above normal rainfall totals, leading to improvements in the drought depiction, particularly across northern New England and parts of Upstate New York. Some locations in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia also experienced improving drought conditions, associated with a couple of rounds of heavy rainfall, totaling in excess of 2 inches for the week. Unfortunately, short-term dryness leading up to this week warranted further degradation of drought and abnormal dryness (D0) across southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic from the I-95 corridor eastward to the Atlantic Coast.

 

 

 

Really interesting - this comes one day after the county of Lancaster lifted it's burn ban.

Anyone here know anything about Pittsburgh? Only been twice for Red Sox games but have a retirement party to attend outside the city in July and pondering going a day before. What to do other than the incline and walk up the Strip District?

Gateway Clipper for sightseeing and dinner cruises - dock is located very close to one of the inclines.

Carnegie Science Center is adjacent to Heinz Field. (that was intentional)

Double shift today - I'll be here in the office until at least midnight.

No money involved so it was just a hunch.  I wish I had stayed awake for it but late OT than was 1-2 AM??!!

i think i didn't fall asleep until 230. I stayed up and watched the presentation and festivities

I stayed up as well for all of it - I operate on short sleep and was able to get up at 8am today so it was an easy choice for me. 

It's legit cool to stop and realize that the most storied franchise in the history of the AHL is in our own backyards. 

WPC shifts the heaviest stuff to our NE:

I mean really Bubbler - 

First, to predict a Bears win...okay, fine. (even though they were outscored 14-2 in 3 games out there)

Second, to predict a "walk off" sudden death win...okay, that's pretty crazy.

Third, to predict the scorer as well?   

Got under a little blob of rain at home over the past hour - up to .21" now.

Still just .05 here. 

Mike Vecchione with a Summer Sizzler OT game winner tonight giving Hunter Shepard a Calder Cup game 7 win. 

This is the post of the year. Period.

The forecast and models that called for that shield to be more did not pan out. Only .9 here.

Right you are.

#12 - how sweet it is!!!

Picked up just .17" of rain. Very disappointing.

I got a tenth of an inch.

Go ahead...

A high of 69 here and a nice light rain has been falling for about the last half hour. 

Rain didn't start here until 6:45.

A robust .05 here.

Over 2 hours later and a robust .02" here. Completely dry under anything covered.

OT - I95 will reopen this weekend in Philly. Not bad - 2 weeks.

Compare this to Canadian model. I'm not looking for an ark. Just 0.50". It seems we will have widespread convection everyday for the next 6 or 7. I'm sure some are bummed at that but that's how we can cut this drought deficit in half

I am under the brightest of yellows on that radar snippet and it is not raining at all. In fact, the sun has reemerged through the cloud cover.

Definitely virga - sun is still out (through clouds) at home. Cloudy here in Conestoga with rain right on the M/D line on MU's radar which I think removes virga. 

Meh...radar is showing decent returns through much of the southern 2/3rds of Lanco. Ground truth says otherwise. Greens over me at work, it's not doing a thing. 

A few raindrops here at work about 30 minutes ago. Nothing happening now, nothing at all at home.

Late Nooners....61 and light rain. 

68 at work, just reached 70 at home. Going to be a wide disparity in temps today...cool south, warm north.

We are having sporadic light rain here.   You actually have some returns on radar near Maytown...probably virga.

That 2016 storm - the NAM was showing this "outrageous" stripe of 40" snows along the I81 corridor 48 hours in advance. It nailed that storm. No other model was honing in on that intense stripe of snow, especially that far out.

Didn't we get out biggest snowstorm in history from the last super el nino?

Last one was 2015-16. January 2016 was a pretty nice storm...

Who is staying up to watch the rain and your Hershey Hockey Bears tonight? 

I will be. I'm working late tomorrow night so I have no problem being a night owl tonight.

The Easterlies are gusting over 30 here right now and with a temp of 57....its not comfortable. 

Much calmer over this way - I expected it to be windier TBH.
