Mount Joy Snowman

You lost me at CNN opinion piece But honestly, what utter drivel. People travel to reach destinations. Whether it be the beach, lake, mountains, oceans, islands, parks, historical sites, artistic venues, sporting events, museums, etc. Say it with me, destinations. Weather is but a small part.

Yeah it looks like they want to pop stuff more out my way and even points south and east from here. Not sure anyone west of the river sees much activity. But as always, we shall see.

Haha now that I read it again, it does come off like I was saying I don't want to see boomers (people, that is). I promise that's not that case and isn't what I was intending to convey. I love me some boomers!

'Mornin all. A nice cool low of 75 here. Looks like MDT and CXY were the only official stations in the state to hit 90 yesterday. Surprised to see so many scattered little cells around this morning. Hopefully we see some boomers (storms that is, not people of my parent's generation) later this afternoon.

We also have a birthday party for a three-year old on Saturday. Wait a second, are you my brother in law?

A comfortable low of 62. Looks like we have the pleasure of some light upper level smoke as well. Beautiful sunrise.

Wow what an awesome summer time storm! Sat on the front covered porch with wife and kids and still got soaked from the sporadic wind gusts blowing in the rain, torrential at times. Looks like nearly .6” in the gauge. Time for a walk and hopefully we catch a rainbow. Success.

I am at home and boy howdy looks like a direct hit is incoming, exploding upon approach! Will keep yinz posted.

Exactly. I end up just getting frustrated and aborting the mission. I'm often strapped for time with the two young-ins and don't have the wherewithal to deal with all that. I mean, why am I taking a picture of a picture in order to meet some arbitrary website rules haha. I digress.

Yeah I get that all the time when I try and post pics off my phone. I can sometimes take a screenshot of the photo and then post that, which makes absolutely no sense ha. It's a real problem with this site.

A win is a win, coach.

Wow, that's no joke. I got .01" yesterday and that's rounding up ha. Hoping to get in on the action later today. Harrisburg area just can't miss lately.

Haha yes exactly like the Knights. So long as that's not referring to my beloved Hempfield Black Knights!

Some scattered drops here over the course of the last hour, enough to make the tips of the grass bling in the sun. #OnTheBoard

Possible line moving your way that brewed up across the river? Albeit moving VERY slowly.

Good morning folks. I've been a bit out of the loop weather-wise the past few days. I was surprised to see so much action on the radar this morning. Although, nothing has fallen here yet. Are we still in for a severe threat later today? Record highs for both Thu/Fri at MDT are 99. Doable? National high of 124 at Stovepipe Wells, CA and low of 40 near Sand Creek Station, OR (whoa that's a high low).

Low of 60 here and a beautiful day on tap. There is never a time when it is unacceptable to drink at an airport. Never.

Well, as expected that line woke up the whole fam. Certainly lived up to the billing, with nonstop fireworks, howling winds, and .62” of hard rain. Most importantly, things look nice and cleared out for some boating today. Wahoo!

There’s gonna be a lot of people rudely awaked in the middle of the night down this way, me thinks. This line is no joke, looking quite gnarly.

Oh wow quite the tale. Yeah that would put the fear into any young kid. Luckily, "Lake" Clarke on the river is a different beast in that there aren't any waves and shore is always nearby. Still, it can be a harrowing experience being on the water when weather hits. Side note, I also used to go to Lewes quite a bit and go out on the bay with a buddy and his family who still frequent the area. Lots of fond flounder-catching memories ha. I haven't been in many years now though.

Early 12z was a step in the right direction for river-goers tomorrow morning. The NAMs dropped the idea of any showers lingering around through the morning hours, and to the extent there is a line that pops later on the HRRR forms it well to the east. Glancing at some lesser models as well and everything just seems generally sped up for tonight, which is good. Get it the heck out of here before the morning comes.

Wow that's crazy. As someone who has also done some night fishing I can imagine how terrifying that must have been. Thank god you all made it through okay.

Bahahahaha, I mean, not that it would have been funny to be in that. But please do tell! Don't think I've been privy to that one. All of them ha. But primarily, for mid/long range I use GFS/Euro and for short term I glance at everything but go to HRRR and 3k NAM first. HREF is great if you can find it and the new RRFS has had its share of wins and has me intrigued. Have not been impressed with the FV3 but still glance at it. Again, all of it. I'm a junkie.

Wrong advice is welcomed haha! But yeah, I have been seeing the potential for that midday line for a while now but even if it does pop much of the guidance has it firing east of the river and pulling away quickly. Needless to say, I will be watching the 12z runs closely. As an aside, it can actually be fun trying to outmaneuver storms while on the boat. Not severe obviously but just run of the mill stuff. When you have a weather nut at the helm with a high-def radar in-hand and about a 10 mile length of surface water to traverse, it's actually not all that hard at times to just outrun little cells to to the north or south. Then laugh maniacally as you see others getting dumped on a couple miles away. Hey, it's the little things ha.

.13" of rain last evening. Alright kids, help me out. My wife and I are taking some friends out on the boat Friday morning (arriving ~10am). I've been pouring over the guidance all week and I'm pretty secure in the fact that things will be cleared out by then, and tend to do so rather quickly when the disturbance sweeps through. However, there is some guidance (primarily the NAM) that wants to keep some showers lingering around through the mid to late morning hours. I think we'll be in for a mostly beautiful day, in what is a transition day to a beautiful weekend. What say ye? Also, has anyone else noticed that Monday keeps consistently showing up as a day with widespread storms on virtually all the modeling?
