Holy Jesus it's oppressive out today. I stepped outside to grab my kid's swim gear after a late night at the park and it felt like I was smashed by an industrial-sized wet towel.
Still better than 55 and rain.
Ten day has a lowest high of 71. You know, for June, I'll take it. I just need the nights to be a bit warmer so the pools/lakes warm up but to not see 50s for daytime highs is nice.
Point and click shows Mechanicsburg at close to 90 this week, Tamaqua in the high 80s, and State College in the mid to high 80s. It does look like summer may be back-loaded, but it's hard to complain about the forecasted temps.
My ten day forecast went from Wednesday being the only shitty day of the week to every day this week being the shitty day. Doesn't show sunshine until Sunday.
My experience in the last few years is that is generally is rainy and cold up until Memorial Day. Back in 2017 or 2018, I went to Ocean City on Memorial Day and it was 60 and dreary. I don't sweat a cooler Memorial Day as long as it's sunny.
But when the water park and pool are open, I need it to be warm. I think we get there. Sounds like thunderstorms are going to be the triggering factor to any below normal temps and above average precip chances.
Just about every summer forecast I have seen has the eastern US cold.
Edit: Maybe it changed? Last I saw AccuWeather had Northeast cooler than average and better than average but I just pulled TWC, AccuWeather, and NOAA and all appear above-average (1-2 degrees) temp wise with above average precip.
