This storm is performing the great vanishing act. Talk abut rapid weakening. What's left of it is rapidly disappearing. Now I wouldn't be surprised if I get zippo out of it. The winds are beginning to rustle the trees as the sinking air approaches. It is getting a little darker.

Well, forget what I just said. NWS just cancelled the warning as the storm continues to weaken (again!). I'll be happy to get 0.10" of rain now.

It's sliding down the western side of the warning box. Doesn't look severe anymore although I'm certainly expecting some wind gusts to 30 and if I'm lucky...a quick 0.25" of rain. The storm is approaching the summit of Blue Mountain, along Rt. 34, and will be crossing into Cumberland county shortly. It will be interesting to see if NWS issues a new box that keeps me in it on the northern side and extends SSW towards Adams.

Yeah, and it's doing what the previous one, diminishing and becoming less severe. Center of the storm is right over Newport at 6:19pm.

I'm under the second severe thunderstorm warning within the past 2 hours. The first one passed just to my west, and was also diminishing while doing so. Had echoes over me for about 10 minutes but nothing fell from the skies. This second one looks nastier and is coming south southwestward from eastern Perry. I am at the extreme southern end of the warning box. This one looks to have a better chance at a "hit". I don't think I'm ready for 60mph winds and 1.5" ping pong ball sized hail. That's pretty large for these parts. I don't think I've ever seen anything over 3/4". The warning says that people and pets outdoors will be injured by that large hail. We'll see. Still have about 20-25 minutes until it is scheduled to arrive. Temp down to 78 after a high a few hours ago of 88, which was way above the forecast high of 79.

Yesterday saw my first 90+ reading for the year at 90.7 degrees. Overnight low was 52.7. Now sitting at 84.2. Should easily eclipse 90 this afternoon. Yesterday I also saw one of my largest diurnals I've ever recorded of 46 degrees with a low of 44.7 and a high of 90.7. Huge diurnals are way more common in the wintertime. Although, within the last month or so I've probably seen 4 or 5 40-degrees diurnals. No doubt the dryness with cool morning lows is a contributor.

I'm 63, turning 64 in October. Pretty sure @mahantango#1 is not the oldest. I remember a post awhile back from a guy in his 70's, but I think is a rare poster. BTW, month-to-date precip here in central Cumberland county is just 0.38". I got 0.11" over the weekend, and that was after sitting at 0.27" for a couple of weeks.

30 minutes ago it was sunny and 70 degrees. Then dark clouds rolled in and dropped it to 61. I checked the radar, and to my amazement, there are lake effect bands coming down from my northwest. Even bands making it all the way east to NJ! More crazy stuff. I'm still running my heat at night into early morning. If lows drop down into the low to mid 40's, the heat will continue to run.

26.1 degrees for my low this morning. Exactly what was shown from your RGEM map. So, the GFS gives us a mini heat wave later this week, and then completely reverses course and sends us back down to the 30's. Wow. Regardless, it looks like a string of beautiful days upcoming for the first half of this week. Normal high for me on the 14th is 62 with a low of 38. On the 19th it has risen to 64/40. So, 20+ above for the highs, but less than 10 below (departures) for the lows. Happy Easter everyone!

21.6 degrees for my low this morning, just beating out yesterday's 22.3. I wonder if we won't see low 20's again until next fall?

Pretty unusual conditions this time of the day. Temp 41.0 with a relative humidity of 27% !! That comes out to a dew point of 9.5 degrees! You don't usually see 27% humidity around 9:30pm in the winter. Next month much more likely to have sub-30% RH's during the daytime. On a side note...yesterday was brutal with temps mid 30's and winds gusting to 30mph. It felt like we were back to the single digit temps of 12/23 & 24. Our bodies have been acclimating to the abnormal warmth from the last 2 months. Temps in the upper 40's this afternoon were much more tolerable.

37 degrees here. Had a period of very light, steady snow about an hour ago. It wasn't enough to even make my patio pavers look wet. Ho-hum.

53 at 11:43. Mostly sunny with a moderate breeze.

Hi. The Tempest is actually my backup weather station. I've had it since it was released in May of 2020. I can say that it is spot-on with measuring Temperature, Humidity, Barometric pressure, and likely Wind, which is ultrasonic and appears to reflect speed similar to my Ambient 2902. However, the one glaring feature is measuring precipitation. It uses sound (haptic) to calculate precip. Weather Flow states that the precip measuring is accurate to +/- 10%. Well, I've had times when it matched up with my Ambient (tipping bucket), but I've had plenty of times when it has both over-recorded and under-recorded by greater than 10%. Numerous people have posted on the Tempest blog about the accuracy of precip. Weather Flow says that over time there is an automated process whereby they download calibration data to your unit in order to improve accuracy. By the way, I should also say that in addition to my Ambient I also have a clear-vue rain collector as another backup. If you want more info feel free to message me.

In the last 3 hours my Tempest has recorded 104 strikes. Last one was 46 minutes ago. I never saw any lightning here, but the station can detect strikes up to 27 miles away. It's been pouring here the past 2 hours. Total precip for today up to 1.38" and no sign of it stopping soon. Temp holding at 36.3 degrees. Here's the big item...my pressure is down to 994 millibars and continuing to fall. There's the generator for the high winds coming up. Significant low pressure followed likely by rapid pressure rises behind the front.

The good news is that it's now 33.3 degrees and the mulch is caving. The bad news is that's the snow has almost completely stopped.

Took a while but the rain/snow mix gradually became mostly snow with increased flake size. That lasted for about the past 30 minutes. It dropped the temp from 41 down to the current 34.7. Intensity has now decreased. I have my eyes on my mulch, since that's the first thing to cave...and no caving yet. When the temp drops about one more degree the mulch will begin to whiten. I've recorded 0.08" of liquid / melted liquid so far.

As of now, yes the clocks will return to standard time in November. The bill that was approved by the Senate to put us on daylight saving time permanently has so far not been brought up for a vote in the House. Personally (and I know I'm not alone here), my vote is to either keep the switching as is or switch to standard time permanently.

After having mostly sleet for about an hour, that accumulated 0.2", it's over to plain rain now. 0.22" of liquid including melted sleet so far. Temp dropped to 35.8, then stopped and rose to 36.0.

@sauss06Daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday (after the second Saturday) of March. That would be March 12th.

Same here. Temp 30.6 with a dew point of 18 and overcast skies. BTW, my high on Thursday was 72.5 with not much wind. Highly unusual combo in wintertime when abnormally warm temps are typically accompanied with breezy conditions.

Wow again. 3pm ob at CXY is 72 while at MDT it's 62. River effect??

Just hit 72.1 degrees for ytd high temp. Seems likely I'll tack on one or two more degrees. Incredible!

I just hit 60. 30 minutes before noon. Sun shining brightly with just a few clouds scattered.

Low of 22.1 here this morning. Recovered to 33.8 just after 11am. I'm wondering if I'm actually one of the lucky ones so far this season? I've had 10" from a 3" event and a 3.5" event. The remaining has been nickel-and-dime stuff. I don't have the exact date, but most likely in late November on a Monday afternoon around 5pm, snow developed and quickly became heavy for about 30 minutes, then quit rapidly. But, 1.0" was on my board for the start of the season. As bad as this season has been for many east of the Susq, winter 3 years ago ('19-'20) was worse (here) with 6.5" for the entire season. Most of that came from one event in mid-January. I'm sure most remember that adding insult to injury, we had a snow squall on May 9th!
