Itstrainingtime

Big time storm inbound - will it be a direct hit or a scraper? Mount Joy looks like it's about to get crushed. Again.

I'll take a more positive look - next week looks amazing. Last few days of the week look sunny with highs in the upper 70s and very low dewpoints.

.17" of rain yesterday from the evening storm.

11:15am and it's 89. Feels so much worse. Late next week can't come soon enough.

Yes - he's fine until he gets into trouble. Not sure if it's pitching from the stretch or if he simply puts pressure on himself to make perfect pitches to get out of jams. Regardless, that's been the recurring issue with him. Wheeler, Sanchez and Suarez are all pretty much unflappable. Luzardo needs to learn how to handle difficult situations. Every start isn't going to go smoothly. The very best pitchers still have those starts where everything is a struggle. Ranger has a reputation of being unflappable but he was clearly letting the Angels know on Sunday that he didn't have it. It was odd to see him showing so much frustration on the mound. With every start, Sanchez is turning into a bonafide ace. That dude's changeup is pure filth. When he puts it where he wants it (and he often does) it is unhittable.

Congratulations! That is wonderful news, and my very best to your entire family. Wishing your grandson many, many years of health and happiness. Warning: the fun goes by oh so quickly...we welcomed our first granddaughter back in January 2022. Can't believe she's already cruising towards her 4th birthday. Both mom and dad work so my wife and I enjoy a lot of time with our little girl. Next month Pappy is taking her on her 1st trip to Disney World. Can't wait.

Only managed a low of 65 down this way. I'm heading up PA Rt. 44 this weekend. I'll be very close to the Black Forest Inn if you know where that is.

Taking this a step further, SPC has the eastern US "under the gun" for repeated rounds of severe weather extending well into next week.

Yes indeed. I will remember this summer ultimately for the tropical humidity and rainfall. Both of which appear to be returning in the near future.

From MU: Here’s a fun little stat: there have only been 3, 90-degree days at @millersvilleu so far this month. However, the high temp has reached 89F on an additional 8 days. One single degree is separating us from having 20, 90-degree days so far this season. Instead, there have been 12.

.04" of rain fell at home yesterday. I was in Philadelphia watching a listless Phillies team get pounded to submission by a bad Angels team. Had a big time rainer just before scheduled first pitch. Obviously not sure how much fell but it was a heckuva lot more than .04".

.09" of rain since midnight.

Tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday look incredible. Temps in the 80s with dewpoints falling from the 60s into the upper 50s tomorrow and then mostly in the 50s (possibly upper 40s?!) by late Monday into Tuesday. I think we've earned the reprieve.

Good. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, either.

I think it would have been completely irresponsible if a watch hadn't been issued. At least down here, our flash flood threshold was .50" of rain in one hour. The potential for much, much more was very real.

Big storm flirted but ultimately skirted me, and I'm more than fine with that. @Mount Joy Snowman should be getting hit hard about now. 0.24" of rain here.

Just passed the 28" mark since May 1st.

Just drove through torrential rain on Rt. 30 east of Mountville. Water running everywhere.

You'll definitely beat me in that derby!

How much do you need to get to 35" since May 1st? I only have 7" or so to go, but trust me, it's not a contest that I want to win. (unlike our mowing derby)

I've been thinking for some time now that things will revert back to dry in a hurry. But it just keeps raining and it sure seems like we're not done yet this week...

27.88" of rain over the past 2.5 months (May, June and 1st half of July) in 2025. 6.17" of rain fell in all of May, June and July in 2024.

I had a chance to go through everything this morning: 4.11" of rain yesterday 7.07" since July 1st 27.88" since May 1st 36.18" for 2025

We're good. My daughter's family in Mount Joy are pumping right now.

I'm approaching 25" since May 1st.
