  1. 51 when I left the house. Beautiful morning.
  2. Hello summer thread. I finished May with 9.7" of rainfall, good for the 4th wettest month I've ever recorded. Also tied my record for most days in a month with measurable precip, at 21. Looks like MDT actually ended up two-tenths of a degree below average for May. Bradford hit 28 last night, only three off the national low of 25. Smoke should make for some pretty skies but shouldn't affect our surface air quality, as it looks to stay mostly aloft.
  3. Wind was insane tonight. Downright chilly.
  4. We have the kids up at my parent’s house in Etown and a nice soaker is rolling through right now.
  5. Closing in on a half inch here as the rains start to pivot overhead. Heading to bed, we’ll see what the morning brings.
  6. All the action staying over towards York thus far. We’ll see what the overnight brings.
  7. Over here it was from about 2:30-3am. I usually check the E-Wall radar first thing in the morning and that goes back six hours, so it covers most of the night after I go to bed. Also, this page from MARFC gives you the ability to check past one-hour (and other time frames) radar estimates. Multisensor Precipitation Estimates (MPE)
  8. Low of 62 and some unexpected overnight rainfall to the tune of .05". Assuming I receive some measurable rainfall today and tomorrow, I'll tie my personal record for days in a month with 21. Might try and sneak in a mow after work today before the steady stuff moves in later in the evening.
  9. Low of 53 with 1.54” of additional rain, for an event total of 1.77”. Drought be gone. Should sneak in a nice day today.
  10. Back edge finally approaching but man it’s been raining heavier than I thought it would the last couple of hours, for this late in the day that is.
  11. Oh wow, good on him. I was just speaking to model-gazing, but that's why he's a pro. It does look like he's had to up his predicted amounts substantially. It looks like the record min max for MDT of 57 from 1996 has a chance to go down, although the station has spiked to 55 recently. I'll have to check the flight log.
  12. Low of 52 with .23” of rain. Doubt the temp budges much today. This was a pretty big forecast miss with regard to timing. I checked every single model yesterday and I don’t think a one of them had rain moving in as early as last evening, nor did they have me getting anywhere close to a quarter inch prior to 6am. Consensus was rain moving in during the pre-dawn to early morning hours. That’s wildly off for being less than 24 hours out. Anyway, should be a nice miserable walk into the capital city this morning.
  13. The current monthly mean temp at MDT is 63.4 degrees and according to my calculations that's exactly where it will end the month as well, at 63.4. Fun fact, that would exactly match the 30-year average temp for the month of May, down to the tenth of a degree. Middle of the pack type month. Book it.
  14. Low of 51. Cloudy day and then tomorrow the rain cometh.
  15. Well stated. It really was that kind of day. Great fire pit night.
  16. Low of 47 and a trace of rain from a late afternoon spritzer. An 8 on tap for today and a 10 for tomorrow. Onward.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Another low of 49 and .52” of glorious soaking all-day rainfall, for an event total of 1.09”.
  20. 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.
