That’s where Thursday in particular gets ugly. 93/73 or anything in that range isn’t fun.

Looks like we’re in line to get some more good old thunderstorms to keep temperatures in check (and raise the dewpoint through the roof).

I’m worried we’re transitioning into our recent normal September pattern of a never-ending summer. I hope that’s not the case.

I’m sure if I asked folks who “knows stuff” in the New England subforum, your name wouldn’t come up on anyone’s list. So not sure you’ve earned the right to call anyone a joke.

Might not be far right anything, might just be straight up trolling. Both are written off equally quickly.

Looking through your posting history, I see a bunch of far right covid nonsense and a bunch of, let’s call them weather-adjacent posts that contain a similar lack of substance.

Never been more sure of my stance than I am lately.

So it’s not me being the judge of those opinions not being grounded in science, it’s objectively not grounded in science.

“Vaccines have that chemical that’s in fireflies and the government will be able to track you with it”, “vaccines come with a microchip,” “vaccines cause autism,” the list goes on and on and on, are very obviously not grounded in science and reality and are beliefs held by thousands to millions of “people.”

Free ideas and expressions are fine when they’re grounded in science and reality. What percentage of unvaccinated people do you think have any sort of a grasp on the science?

Four centuries of our country’s leaders: 1787: “we the people, in order to form a more perfect Union...” 1863: “four score and seven years ago...” 1961: “ask not what your country can do for you...” 2020: “you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

Wasn’t there a famous quote along the lines of “There are 15 US cases and soon it’ll be zero”?

LOL.

Where is the line between covid banter and far right drivel?

We thought we had the clock run out on this stuff, but Bettis fumbled. Now it’s up to Big Ben to make the tackle.

Thursday looks like almost a slam dunk too. Could even be the hottest day of the year if storms don’t keep temps down. Models are slowly cancelling the weekend cool down. We’ve entered that pattern where the hot days are hot and the “cool” days are slightly above average. Hope it doesn’t persist as late into fall as it did in 2015-2019.

6z GFS now has MDT at 100 actual air temp at 21z Thursday. LNS at 95/76/108 on the same panel.

Official high on the 5pm climate summary is 90.

@mahantango#1 will see rain every day. Everyone else, well....

Latest few 5-min obs were 90, but of course that’s probably 89. Was the car thermometer at 95 somewhere on route 28? Seems to be the hottest place my car goes.

From 51-53 to division leaders (with a negative run differential) in just a week. Still, it could only take 85-77 or so to take the East.

Nothing to discuss. A stagnant heat pattern, USA basketball won the gold, the Cowboys lost...

This feels like it might be one of those weeks we talked about awhile back, where there are 5 days of heat, but then you get through the first day and there are still 5 days of heat, and so on.

As a lurker from Pittsburgh who enjoys Deep Creek (was there this past week and there were a couple sunny days that stayed in the 60s), the temperature difference is truly incredible. Agree that most of the snow is upslope, though as others have said, they do cash in much better than the cities do when bigger synoptic storms come through. Another note: to some extent, we Pittsburghers do resent Mid-Atlantic folk buying up property in that area - back in the ‘90s that was our vacation destination before DC folk and the like discovered it and drove the prices through the roof. But that’s water under the bridge at this point, along with the NWS reassigning Garrett County from PBZ to LWX.

I tend to agree. I’d say 90 is attainable at least once this week but those 92’s we hit in late June might hold as the hottest days this summer.
