Itstrainingtime

Next round is rapidly advancing northward through the BWI/DC corridor...this batch has a laser beam pointing at the south central mountains west of my location. 

Yesterday and last night delivered the goods. Nearly 3" fell since 4:00pm yesterday, now at 4.8" for the "event." 

Rain woke me up around 2:00am...checked radar and my first thought was that it looked eerily similar to Lee.

Picked up a quick half inch in Tamaqua. I wonder where that cluster in Maryland is headed?

Was just gonna post...it's headed right at me. Just finished the 2nd cell of the day and that next cluster looks to deliver the goods.

Shower produced just shy of a quarter inch about an hour ago, full sun now. 

Finished with 1.8" yesterday. As I said early yesterday...congrats South Mountain.

Check out the radar - it is just like that 2016 winter storm. Cutoff in Steelton basically,

Yep, big doughnut hole over Lanco. Glad it isn't January!

Raining harder now than anytime since it began this morning. 

Interesting...rain has stopped here. Not slowed...stopped.

I’m dreaming of this radar taking place in about 4 or 5 months....

 

I'm dreaming of reading 5 days of posts from you about it, too.

Already over 1.25”. I think MDT gets 5.5”+. 

This looks like that Jan 2016 NAM storm. 

YES!!! It really does. I was going to say that in my response to Voyager but I didn't want to bring up old wounds.

So the Susquehanna and point west jackpot? Nothing new here... 

Same old same old when it comes to BIG rain events it seems.

Eh...I'm not losing a whole lot of sleep if I get 2" of rain while someone else gets 6". I don't need or want water problems in my basement. 

On the other hand, i agree with what you're saying completely. No matter the season it seems, "big" weather events have eluded the coal region for quite a few years.

No thanks 

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm sure there will be surprises over the next week. 

Short-term models focusing the heaviest rains over South Mountain and areas along the 81 corridor west of Harrisburg. Some areas approach a half foot of rain...and that is just for today into tomorrow morning.

This front can't get here soon enough. Dear god is it a steam bath today.

Honestly, i like it. I also like Big Snow storms, quiet walks on the beach, thunder storms, ice cold beer, colorful fall days with a scent of smoke from my chimney  

I must really be getting soft. I left work yesterday and my first thought was "this isn't too bad." I got in my car and discovered it was 95 out. 

It's funny how last week conditioned me to the heat. At least it seems like it.

I hope everyone enjoyes the little cooldown this weekend because starting middle of next week it looks like perhaps no end in sight of +4-6 degrees above normal temps for the rest of July and perhaps through most of August. 

Well...I don't have any information to support this, but I think some of our hot summers have been followed by a snowy winter. Someone can correct me on that if I'm off my rocker again.

Still sitting at 0.02" for July...

.4" here. Amazing...

Haven't had a drop...

Saturday can't come soon enough.

We both need to go crawl into a cave and reemerge in about 4 months.

Gonna be a long July though. Heat and dry look locked in. 

Sure does. We pay for the delayed onslaught.

Got up to 99 in my backyard today...

I can't tell you how many times I've thought about you since this mess got started. I might have even cussed you out under my breath...:)

It’s legit hot today. 96 / 65

"Only" reached 95 here...currently at 94.2 disgusting degrees. My only solace is that the days are getting shorter.

W-B might be a microburst rather a tornado ... we’ll se what NWS rules in a day or two. Terrible damage regardless, winds had to be over 100. 

I am NOT any sort of expert on severe weather, but there were some radar images last evening where it looked evident of a signature hook on the southwest flank of the storm up there. 

My uneducated thought looking at the radar was "my God, that sure looks like a tornado." 

Horst thinking it looks like about an EF2.

i bet lol. But that would suck being in an empty stadium. My wife didn't have any issues getting White Sox Tickets 

i have to mow every 3-4 days. If i waited a week, the township would be sending out the codes enforcer.

Did you guys see the flooding in OCMD over the weekend? Some of the video and pictures were crazy.

I did...Saturday was the day that we typically arrive for our week's vacation. This year I happened to move it back 2 weeks to the last full week of June. That would have been miserable to unload everything in on Saturday.

After our trip, she'll have been to 11 current stadiums. i'd have to really stop and think about mine (trying to remember the old ones) out of her 11 i took her to 10. Her 11th was Minnesota, when she played softball for the Harrisburg RBI that is where the National Tournament was, so they took them to a game. 

Fenway is my favorite. I highly recommend it. Great atmosphere in and around the stadium.

you drink to much 

We really haven't had many boomers since the Tornado came through a couple weeks ago. 

Fantastic sleeping weather. 

Most depressing park I was ever at was the old Cleveland Stadium. Back about 35 years ago i saw a Saturday afternoon game, it was a perfect weather day. Much like it is here today. The announced crowd was 6 thousand and something. Problem was...that stadium had 80,000 seats. So it was me, a friend of mine, and a few other baseball fans sitting in the midst of nearly 74,000 empty seats. We had short concession lines! 

I don't need any boomers, and i don't need any rain anytime soon. Ground is saturated and grass is growing like it's early April.
