  1. It appears there were definitely some issues with radar with this event because I clicked my exact location on the radar estimate map and it has me at .7", whereas I got less than .2".
  2. Right. What I'm saying is I checked all the WU stations between Strasburg and Lancaster and all of them were around that .3" mark. Remarkably consistent. Baring some on the ground verification, it seems there may have been a glitch in the radar and associated estimates.
  3. Same here, pleasantly surprised. I was looking at some on-the-ground reports from that area of highest radar estimates and couldn't find anything more than like the .3-.5" range.
  4. It’s the most annoying thing about this site. As to your thermo, I have long wondered if it’s getting too much direct sun exposure. Just seems to be odd to consistently be at least a few degrees higher than anyone else, even as you are farther north, more rural, and similar elevation. I say that knowing you have your own little microclimate going on so not ruling anything out, but it’s all too common for some stations to just read a little high when in the sun.
  5. Impressive little storm complex moved through overnight and dumped .6", woke me from my slumber. Heading out on the boat tomorrow, gonna be a glorious weekend.
  6. I was saying how whatever storm activity did develop would be more likely to be focused across the extreme southern tier and arrive during the late evening or overnight.
  7. Very true. Although I do feel like I kind of watched that show more for little nuggets, tidbits, fun facts, and whatnot.......more so than straight forecasts. But your point is well taken.
  8. Yeah I used to be a pretty regular viewer, not so much anymore. Then again, it's hard to be a regular anything these days with two young kids ha.
  9. MDT saw a +10.3 avg. temp departure yesterday, now running a robust +5.3 for the month. That looks to level out a good bit in the coming weeks but August still very likely to end solidly on the warm side. YTD MDT is +.8 degree departure. As for rain, .51" for MDT yesterday and they are almost spot-on avg. for the year. National high of 114 at Death Valley and low of 31 at Peter Sinks, UT and Choteau, MT.
  10. I matched ya with .13". Low of 72. Looks like another decent chance for storms today, albeit later in the evening and likely focused towards the southern parts of the valley. Thursday looks like a nice transition day, setting up an absolutely perfect weekend of weather. Get it in fellas.
  11. I second the motion. Looks like I'll top out at 94 here, as temps now plummeting with storms skimming the area.
  12. A steamy low of 75 here. More folks should see some storm action today I reckon. The weekend of perfection draws nearer.
  13. High of 94. A couple more days of this nonsense and then some relief.
  14. Higher terrain in those areas. Higher than many people realize, and yes much more rural as you alluded to.
  15. Low of 73. Today and tomorrow just look straight nasty. Hopefully we can catch a storm tomorrow to ease the pain. Relief on the way for the weekend.
  16. No sir. I had a lot of close misses yesterday.
  17. Go ahead and tie one on would ya. You taking the train down?
  18. Stunning. We are like 5 miles apart as the crow flies and I ended with .01”. Completely surrounded for a good portion of last evening but just couldn’t cash in. Got to love summertime convection and the winners and losers it creates. A low of 71 here — the air is thick.
  19. Meanwhile just a .01” spritzer over here. And oh yeah, another day of me not hitting 90, topped out at 89.
  20. Whiskey and light beer, that's my game and I don't care who knows it!
  21. .01" of rain for me yesterday. The name of the game right now is humidity and sporadic storms, otherwise known as August.
