Like Michael Jordan playing Shawn Bradley one on one...the game is decided before the first shot.  ITT is the king. 

Let's try not to forget that. I take my mowing seriously! LOL

Could have mowed over here today.  Partly Cloudy and 65.  Hit 70 before I left Frederick (down there).

There's still time to get er done. Don't waste an opportunity to mow. Remember you got some catching up to do. Your behind on the leaderboard. So any kind of mow could  propel you eventually throughout the season to first place. Remember what is at stake here.

The midnight highs have very much exaggerated the warmth this year.  It has obviously been bad cold wise but the dozen or so midnight highs recently make it seem even worse that it really was.   With that said if the temps stays in the mid 40's until midnight tonight, the April average will be taking another downward move tomorrow AM.  

Very good point.

It is indeed raw. East winds here are very rare and it’s blowing hard.  

It is very windy - wind is often overforecasted but not this time.

5 gusts over 40 now.    It is about as miserable as it gets out for late April.    Probably another midnight high on the board today.  

Exactly. Temp was 56 here at midnight and is down to 47 now. Up to .87" of rain for the day.

True story, back in 2002 I once received a Franklin Flusher in the parking lot of the Roxbury Holiness Camp. I've never so much as seen a car at that place and neither had my high school girlfriend at the time.

Let me tell ya. My opinion on God has been "no," ever since I was old enough to know which side of the playpen smells the worst, but that night? I saw em.

Okay...I'll bite. Why did you pick a church camp parking lot to get...you know...

Was it a heavenly experience?

That's a Franklin Flusher.

3K has quite a bit of severe Sunday Lunch and mid afternoon.   Big Nam has a frost or freeze risk Monday AM. 

SPC isn't buying it yet...

Seems like a lot of automation fail.   The 3PM wording yesterday was doomed from the start IMO. 

I think that's it. Whatever it is, there are often contradictions between the maps they publish and their actual forecasts.

My daughter and I were looking at the Phillies promotional schedule as she wants us to go this summer. (she prefers Philly over Baltimore, but I digress) We were looking at an afternoon game and she says "dad, you can go out on the field after the game!" - I looked at the promotion and it's "Seniors Stroll The Bases" event. That shit makes me feel...well, old.

Have you seen some of the weirdness that happens with posts here? Im not sure they do know how to use the internet!

Yeah, but I can rock an 8 Track better than you, my friend! 

After some sprinkles over the past hour, rain has just now arrived and made the pavement and sidewalks cave under wetness.

Steady rain and 46 this AM.   CTP's zone for MDT went from 3PM to 8AM. 

I do not personally like to be critical of CTP and have defended them numerous times over the years...but this simple post of yours sort of sparked 2 issues that I have with them:

 1. There are often discrepancies between their forecasts and their maps. This is the map they posted publicly yesterday morning:

Clearly, they anticipated rain to be into the greater Harrisburg area by midday. If that's the case then their forecast should match it. And this map was the inspiration behind my 11:07:32 post that I made about when I thought rain would arrive in Maytown. LOL

 2. My second thing is this - have you or anyone else noticed the "bizarre" wording in some of their forecasts? For example, last week there was a day when my forecast was this: "A chance of showers after 1pm, then showers and thunderstorms after 3pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 4pm, then showers after 5pm, then a chance of showers after 8pm." 

That's a lot to digest, but can someone tell me what is the difference between saying that there will be showers, and then showers are likely? Doesn't likely mean that essentially...there will be showers? To me, that's just too much information. We've already come to the conclusion that the majority of the public is lost when it comes to weather...a forecast like the one I just referenced doesn't help any, I think. 

Radar looks great- rain should be arriving here between 9 and 10am it looks like. Bring it!

Thank you! He included that map but I had trouble attaching it. 

MU's thoughts for the weekend:

Despite recent showers and #thunderstorms, northern MD and much of southeastern PA are still being plagued by moderate drought conditions. However, a widespread 2-3" of rain from tomorrow through Sunday evening will put an abrupt end to the drought!

We went on a 1.5 hour walk from 5-630 along the river lol - was partly sunny! 

Yeah round after round of rain just get moving west to east over the southern half of Adams, York and Lancaster counties. More or less the Rt. 30 corridor was the line between dry with some breaks in the clouds and a chilly rain.

Only a T here for rain.   May rain a decent amount every day for a while starting Friday (more than a T.)   The Nam and GFS are true soakers Sat night and all day Sunday and have rain chances into next week as the ULL pivots over.

Sorry that you and others didn't receive more rain yesterday. 

 

The GFS and NAM that you describe seem to go directly against what CTP is thinking - they have me at Partly Sunny and warm on Sunday with a chance of showers after 3pm. 

CTP's updated forecast includes a major change for Sunday. This morning's forecast was Partly Sunny with showers after 3pm and a high of 72.

Latest forecast is Rain. High of 63.
