Itstrainingtime

Nary a drop of rain here in the historic district this evening.

@MAG5035 thanks for posting that picture. Extended family has a cabin several miles up the road from there and we visit that spot often. I don't think I've ever been there when the weather was that nice, lol

Adams county is taking it on the chin this evening. @Cashtown_Coop, you in on that cell?

Heads up! Looks like a lot more tropical action to go...

Oh I know that. I'm just letting you know that I signed up for the losing team. Speaking of which...my Orioles lost 3 games in the span of 22 hours this week. That's impressive.

Jim Rice and George Foster were 2 of baseball most feared, yet quietest players from the 1970s. It was fun as a kid to watch both.

Further, in their statement CTP specifically called out the southern half of York and Lancaster counties for being at most risk for flooding. So what I'm saying is - you and just about everyone else (me included) is playing this game for the have not's.

I...I don't even know what to say to this. I only have room in my heart to like one of you...I guess you're going to have to fight it out.

You are a terrific poster! Glad you are here all year!

Happy birthday @canderson The only Red Sox fan in the world that I like.

Looks like 87 is going in the books for today's high, which is just above the seasonal norms and once again...a few degrees over what was predicted.

Good to know, I wasn't exactly sure when your landscape became parched.

So I mentioned Tropical Storm Lee the other day and that got me thinking...what was the weather like in 2011 before that event? Sort of interesting discovery even if it means literally nothing. In 2011 we had AN precipitation in spring (same as this year, except for Rouzerville) In 2011 we had a very hot July, including a 103 reading at MDT. (we had a record-setting hot July this year) In 2011 July was very dry. (We all know how dry it's been this year) So while all of that might be purely coincidental, maybe just maybe we'll turn things around over the coming months. (though hopefully not to the extreme that we did in September 2011)

64 here to start the day. Not bad!

Some of those NY weenies would be complaining that the torch isn't completely submerged.

One thing I can say for certain - I NEVER look at the 10 day GFS. I don't look at the 10 day anything for that matter. I did just look at the thermometer and I'm sitting at 84.

I almost...kinda...sorta...feel that let down that I do after tracking a big snowstorm and it's moved on. Last couple of days have been fun. Without the cleanup.

@Voyager I had zero wind here...I mean maybe just the slightest of a breeze during the time that it rained. Since the rain ended the winds have picked up a bit out of the NW but only 10-15 mph or so. (thus far)

Wait until we christen our dedicated September Tropical Thread. We'll be like the New England folks and quickly grow to 175 pages by 9/15.

Didn't make it to 3", finished the event at 2.95". Still, that's 5.41" over the past 3 days. That will help out a lot.

Talk about a sharp cutoff - 1.5" in Elizabethtown and 5.5" in Gap! (both in Lanco)

CTP just mentioned that up to 5" has fallen across Lancaster county - mostly south and east of the city. I'm going to end up around 3" it appears.

PHL just picked up 1.17" of rain in 26 minutes. You said that I was gonna steal your rain, well Philly stole mine!

Rainfall here is very light now, all of the heavier returns are from eastern Lanco on east. I might very well end up < 3" for this event.

I know enough to never want to be on the east side of a tropical system for this very reason.
