Third straight day with a low of 49. Added .01” of rainfall to the ledger. Reckon I’ll try and mow and plant some potted flowers today. Onward.

.05” rain today. Maybe the Blue Angels flying overhead all afternoon kept the rain at bay here.  

That’s actually solid, enough to keep things damp. Only .01” here from a couple one minute popcorn showers. Loved the mix of sun and clouds though. 

Another low of 49 and .52” of glorious soaking all-day rainfall, for an event total of 1.09”. 

After some imposters tried to steal the crown in recent weeks, the rightful kings have returned to their throne, with the national high and low of 109 and 17 occurring at Death Valley and Peter Sinks, respectively.

Mrs Canderson hinted she wants the heat turned back on

I remember back in the late 80s .Harrisburg recorded rain 22 days in May. That was also the time  that spring  that I fertilized my lawn and my mower blew a head gasket. So I was sol on mowing when it wasn't raining. By the time I got the mower fixed I was making hay, the grass was so tall and thick.

My own personal record for days in a month recording measurable precip is 21, done twice, in May of 2019 and March 2020.  My fewest is 3 in November of 2023.

Low of 49 with .57” of rainfall. Let’s see if MDT can set a record by staying below 54 all day.

.15” rain so far today. 54 is the high. 

Well under a tenth of an inch down here but the good stuff seems to be on the way. 

56 when I left the house with no measurable rainfall but some spotty stuff starting to fall as I drove to the train station. 

42 when I left the house. Beautiful clear sky morning.

I have had 4.8” rain this month. I was curious what MDT had - they’ve had 5.45”. 

6.07" at KMJS.

Rain not withstanding, I just perused the models, and surface temps on Wednesday, per the Euro and the GFS, keep me in the upper 40's for a high temperature. Absurd...

FYI, min max records for MDT for Wed/Thu are 48/54, with both being set in the late 1800s.

Low of 54 and yesterday was my first day without measurable precip since May 11th. 

Low of 61 and .02” of rain from last evening’s showers. Perfect day on tap. 

Low of 62 and .35” of rain. 

Ended up being nothing too crazy here, with one loud thunder crack, no real wind, and about a quarter inch. Perhaps more later. 

Looks like I’m about to get absolutely molly-wopped down here. 

Low of 60 and .03” of rain. A muggy one today.

Isn't Sunday supposed to be a stellar day? 

Yes.  Perfection.  A little breezy but that should help it feel nice. 

Low of 61 with .08" of additional rainfall.  Three-day total of 1.52" and monthly total of 5.67".  Grass is booming, a little bit of sun later today and it's going to explode.

A new experimental 3k convection model named "GSL MPAS-G" that uses TEMPO microphysics (whatever the heck that means ha, satellite maybe?) has appeared on Pivotal.  Anyone familiar? 

Low of 58 and 1.38” of total rainfall. Looks like about a half inch of that came from a nice batch moving through between 2-5am. Onward.

What caught me off guard today is the humidity...despite the dark clouds and rainfall, it's sticky!

How ‘bout it. Dews look to stay stuck in the 60s all week and perhaps even pop to near 70 briefly on Friday. Hopefully some relief on the way by late in the day on Saturday, before setting up for a beautiful Sunday. 

Low of 62 with .06” of rain thus far. Off we go. 

Low of 52. One more nice day before we get locked in the gloom.
