Banging an 84 here.   It is hotter than a Texas Port-a-Potty. 

I was stuck at 58 as recently as 11:30am.

Temp is up to 81 and still rising rapidly.

Maybe, but that food looks awfully damn good. 

Backdoor cold front has moved back NE and out of Lanco (at least the western areas) and my temp has skyrocketed from 58 to 77 in just over 90 minutes.

Just as much my fault for not mentioning.  I actually thought for this evening it looked more decent that I was thinking we would have.

It would be really nice to get rain tonight and tomorrow.

That is for this evening, but the line tomorrow does not look much different. 

I'm sorry. I did not even look at the time stamp. My bad. 

Hopefully if the line look similar tomorrow the gaps in coverage are in different locations within the line.

I really hope that line is more solid than depicted. Going to be have's and have not's tomorrow.

The 3K has some fairly severe looking cells later today.  My problem with the above...both forecasts are models, who is to say the MJO forecast was better than the ground truth?  This past winter the MJO forecasts moved drastically day to day especially late in the season.  If the MJO was fact then yea, this would be a more valid point but, IN MY OPINION, picking one or the other to believe has a component of guessing. 

Can't argue that at all.

I am very much hoping we all get rain tomorrow. 

Same - especially with this waiting in the wing: (good meteorology lesson here from MU)

(1/3) Forecasting 101: How to use the MJO to beat computer models. 4-5 days ago, the models were suggesting an abrupt shift to an unseasonably cold pattern in the East from April 8-18. Some even showed a major, late-season snowstorm in PA on April 9/10!

(2/3) At the same time, they were forecasting the MJO to become active in phases 6/7.. and still are. In an ENSO-neutral April, MJO phases 6/7 favor a #JETSTREAM ridge in the East, & the correlation is strong. Thus, I didn’t bite on the cold & snow, & it’s a good thing I didn’t..

(3/3) Fast forward to today, and the models have caught on to the MJO’s influence on the pattern and now show a sprawling ridge in the East next week. So, after a cooldown #EasterWeekend, expect this week’s unseasonable warmth to come roaring back by the middle of next week!

At least down here in Lanco we are consistent - after being left high and dry all winter, the theme continues into spring:

You are not going to use me as a pawn to devolve this place into sports talk. 

Me either, because I won't talk about sports on here.

But yeah...I do have Oneil Cruz on my fantasy team.

Sure, just off to our SE....not sprawling into the Ohio Valley for over a week. 

True...

@TimB - glad that Bubbler pulled you over here - always enjoy reading your thoughts.

No doubt, just hope that uber ridge does not set up both for temps and precip.  Warm is one thing, one to two weeks of a constant "high pressure" is another.  I was not ready for my AC bill to jump yet.   Noticed a little tropical like storm spinning around off the coast of Florida. 

That ridge has been there is some fashion for months. 

Ring of fire...

CMC keeps saying to watch for a 90 tomorrow or Thur

That would be something during the first week of April. And not a good something. LOL

I remember that one.  The most amazing thing about it was no fatalities or injuries.  Stunning. 

Especially considering both the strength of the tornado and this area not really rehearsed in F3 preparations. 

Sunny and 71 just past noon.

Well tomorrow could be pretty hot. Seeing temps between 80-84 for some places which could break records. The nighttime lows might be kinda summerlike with it being in the mid 60's if it's humid enough. Not sure if it will be

Not only will high temperatures be around 20 degrees above average on Wednesday and Thursday, but it's also going to feel quite muggy in southeastern PA. Dewpoints should climb into the low 60s tomorrow and mid-to-upper 60s Thursday, resulting in heat index values around 85°F.

I was living in Palmyra at the time. That was one of the darkest skies I think I remember seeing.

It just so happened that this guy thought it would be a great day to take the fam to Hersheypark - I remember staff running around with radios and announcements being made to take cover. I thought the top of the kissing tower would be a great vantage point but Hershey had other ideas.

Wow! Rare for this region to get one that strong. 

Were you living in PA when this hit?
