The Great Valley is taking a large bite out of the far south side of the line. 

My fear, and to @paweather point, is that the line is progressing so slowly eastbound that by the time it reaches here...

For those of us down south - radar is kind of meh so far. The cells down in MD/VA/WV are weakening as the entire area moves east. Not a lot showing up that would be targeting our area.

Still time for change.

Going to go on a limb and say CTP today will set a record for most TOR warnings they've ever issued in one day. 

Have to think that in my lifetime (1965 onward) that the record had to be set on 5/30/1985. I've found a lot of information but not the number of warnings that came from our local office. Many of the warnings that day were issued by Pittsburgh and Cleveland as well. 

I will never forget that event. 

There are now 5 active TOR warnings that have been issued by Cleveland, State College and Binghamton.

It's raining. I haven't seen rain in two weeks.

What's it look like? What does it do when it falls?

Is your mower starting to rust away?

It's getting rusty, though not as rusty as my snow shovel, which I haven't used for 3 consecutive winters.

He didn't mention it, but it committed suicide. Lawnmowers have an immense suicide rate and when the reality hits them that they no longer serve a purpose, it's over.

As long as it's been since I used it, might very well be dead.

Right beside my wif...whiffle ball bat.

I think I remember him mowing a lot during 2019-2022 where MDT had 32-35 ninety or higher days every one of those years.  MDT is running slightly behind all these years as of now but may catch up by mid-week next week.  The convection lottery has been terrible to some of the Lanco folks as well as Canderson.  

 

 

 

I've mowed a lot every year for years. Since I was handed over the responsibility from my dad when I was 4. Big difference this year...it ain't raining. This seems unprecedented to me. It's not uncommon for it to really die out later in July and especially into August, but my yard has been toast for weeks now. Hot and water = mowing, hot and dry = itsnotmowingtimeanymore.  

90 in Maytown. 17th day this year at or above that mark. Already passed last year's total.

As expected, SPC has upgraded S and C NY state into Enhanced and moved the SLIGHT all the way down through central PA and the LSV into Maryland and down a bit into N VA. They don't have the enhanced along the northern tier which I am a bit surprised by, but with a 5 percent TOR hatch maybe it's semantics. 

Big-time reduction in expected rainfall continues - sigh:

Currently it's sun through high cloudiness and 85.7. MU says tomorrow we see a 10-15 degree drop in dewpoints. Bring it. 

Lowest temp overnight was 79.3. 

Really hope that everyone up north stays safe today. Ominous to see some posters in here who are known to post only when prolific severe weather is about to unfold, and that's usually down south or out in the midwest.

Anyone see State College's Facebook post? Storms and possible tornados tomorrow evening. 

Met from MU had a lot to say about this earlier today. To echo what @candersonsaid, he expects a big threat north of I80, much smaller risk between 80 and 76, virtually no threat down this way.

Well...I just had Mrs. HR review the new plate. Her response to me:

"What the F*** is wrong with you?"

I'll say it.

I've always thought our state's license plate was a little...generic. Non-descript. Maybe even...boring.

I like the new plate. 

96 was the high today in Maytown. Clouds likely shaved 1-3 degrees off what it might have gotten to. Still - 9th day of 95 or higher.

92/73 at 3:50pm. 

Another cell just formed - my wife says she can see it raining across the fields from our house. She said "we're missing it by a half mile." It's moving away from us.

All I can do is LOL.

Cells forming in Lanco.  Clouded up here and 90. 

Yep...how sweet it is watching them blow up 10 miles to my east!

Holy Bazooka bubble gums, it is downright nasty outside. Just walked across campus...good lord is it stifling. 

75 was my overnight "low" - currently it's 86 in Maytown at 9:05am.

I know some people that leave their AC at 85 during the summer so 94/73 is nothing to them, while someone who stays in cooler AC all the time will think it is horrible.  The great mysteries of assumptive HI values. 

Hmmm...

First 12Z Global keeping hopes alive for easters

 

Interesting how the heaviest rain "fills in" the southern Chessy Bay almost perfectly.
