What a beautiful day today, and I don't feel well enough to enjoy it. I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and ate something at dinner out with my grandson and his girlfriend last night that I suppose I shouldn't have.
It was a great time, but boy am I paying the price.
Despite a few camera malfunctions, I got some video of the Union Pacific Big Boy in Nesquehoning this morning. When I get them edited and uploaded to YouTube, I'll share them here.
After about an hour of overcast around 10/11am, we've been partly to mostly sunny all afternoon here. Temp/dew point combo of 86/67 with 49% humidity currently at 4pm. If we manage to get under something, I suspect that it might be fairly potent. Of course, the old cliche of "we shall see" applies here.
Yesterday's high and low were 87 and 48, which is a testament to the dry air currently in place. The deserts outside the Phoenix heat Island were the same.
The other positive to that is/was the clear air with no haze.
My complaints weren't so much about the cool downs, but how cold they actually got. If they would have been a little less extreme, I wouldn't have minded
We're always going to warm and cool as fronts and systems move through the area.
Monday's high will probably bounce all over the place the next few days. Last night it showed 70, this morning, it's 77.
Monday
A chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 77. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
I can't either, but we had a rather cool and wet summer a few years back, too, if I remember correctly. Just can't think of exactly what year it was, though.
