Itstrainingtime

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.

52 here but it is glorious. More please!

Perfect morning indeed. I had 50 on the nose.

By the way, I responded to your Chris Davis assessment in the Sox thread. He is truly god forsaken awful.

It usually dies off this time of year. But no, i don't go on vacation until next week. Chicago then Milwaukee. 3 baseball stadiums and several brewery tours for my daughters college grad gift 

Aww man...that is my kind of trip! I've been to Wrigley several times dating back to the mid 80s, before they installed lights and and the neighborhood area got built up beyond Waveland Avenue. The ball seemed to carry so much better back then. First game I saw the Cubbies put up 12 and lost. Ryne Sandberg was 2-2 with 2 homers and 5 RBIs and that was through 2 innings.

I've been to 17 present and former MLB parks and I still rank Wrigley #1 ever so slightly over PNC Park. The caveat is that newer parks like PNC are much cleaner with far more fan friendly amenities, but nothing says baseball more than Wrigley and Fenway. They are gems that must be experienced. 

And has a die-hard (and I'm dying REALLY hard this year) O's fan, I cannot tell you how much I miss Memorial Stadium. I am not a fan of Fenway South...

I received nearly 2" of rain yesterday and last night. It can stop now.

Well, I got 0.31" for the whole event...lol

2.4" for me...most of that came between 8:30 and 9:30 Saturday evening.

We finally got some rain in the Harrisburg area last night. It poured for a few hours overnight. It now breezy & a little chilly out for early June.

And more rain should filter into the area from the south later on.

Weekend washout turned out to be a ten minute shower. Epic fail by all pros in the area. Not a single one was even close....

Come to Lancaster county...many areas around Lancaster city have received upwards of 6" of rain and it is still dumping. Flood emergencies in effect for the 2nd night in a row. Funny, your area was forecast to get hit, ours was not. I'll gladly trade places with you. This is not welcome...

More training over Lancaster and York counties now. Might be a flash flood emergency near Columbia even. 

Storms won’t cross the turnpike though.

 

Last night I was riding the edge...tonight I'm getting wamboozled. Some seriously heavy rain...can't tell for sure but I'm over an inch since 8:00pm. 

How often do tropical-based 'canes form off the coast of Greenland?

Many storms are training now. Flood Warning just issued.


.

Manor Township was crushed. Central Manor road buckled from flooding and is impassible. I grew up right off Central Manor road and can't imagine how much water it took to destroy that road. 

This map says it all for the Harrisburg peeps...

Officially I recorded .2"here in Maytown. I JUST missed out on the heavy rain to my south. (less than 5 miles)

Big storm 7 miles to my south, and we’ll get nada. Sunday night looks to be my only hope for real precip, crazy after 5 days of 70% pops.

Not a drop here yet.

Speaking of Harrisburg...anyone going to see the Sens welcome Tim Tebow on City Island next week? My wife and I will be at the Tuesday game....she will no doubt be wearing her Florida Gator #15 jersey...
