This a good map. I have it set for Tamaqua, but you can type in any location you want. https://www.airnow.gov/?city=Tamaqua&state=PA&country=USA

Low of 54 this morning. Up 11 degrees to 65 now 9:00am.

It's my fault that it's not raining. I seeded the bare spots (there were many) in my backyard. After my complaints about the many cool, gloomy, drizzly days we were getting, I told the wife that I'd make it stop. She asked how I was going to do that, to which I responded, "I'm going to seed the yard". She laughed, I laughed, and that was that. But...since we don't have an outside spigot, I need to rely on rainfall to water it. I was being a bit facetious, but bad luck does follow me around, so here we are....

Oh boy. Hope you feel better soon. Myself: I'm having a mental day again. Wife fell yesterday and hurt her leg and back. No ER needed, but she's hurting, so I'm worried about her and her other health issues. I'm also stressing about my job again as I probably have to share a truck again. This time with a "territorial" dude who thinks he owns the truck. Starting to hate my mid-day start time again. Contemplating making a move once again, but not sure it will help. This on top of my continuing thoughts and stresses remaining from my mom's passing and having to sell, donate, or trash most of her possessions. Ugh...

The fire in Jim Thorpe is reportedly up to 260 acres with 0% containment.

Yuppers

Yes. But once again, it's very windy...

We've had a lot of brush fires the past few days around here. I even noted them in my latest video. There's a larger one going on near Jim Thorpe right now, and without any rain today, the situation I fear is going to get worse the next few days.

Still a wonderful 70 degrees at 9pm.

83 here in Tamaqua currently. It's a bit breezy, though I don't mind it today. It's unbelievably pleasant out right now.

69 right now which makes for a pleasurable nooner...lol

Yes. It warmed up quick. 56 degrees at 9:20 am

Currently down to 30.4 degrees at 6:30am. May or may not be my low for the day.

35 for the low here.

All this wind with a high of only 47 makes it feel quite . I'm well over it and want/need sustained warmth.

I captured this beauty down at the water plant in Fogelsville last night.

I didn't either. I think last week's windy day exceeded expectations as well. It's just been nuts this year with the wind events.

Yeah, I don't need anymore. It's quite the job retrieving and returning Canderson's...

Well waddaya know... We have a wind advisory for today. We don't get those too often around here.... Today A slight chance of showers between 11am and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 57. West wind 7 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Hopefully the roads dry out by noon from any rain we might see this morning. Once per month, two of our trucks get professionally detailed and ceramic coated. This was the month and weekend for the truck I'm currently using to get it's annual cleaning. I'm hoping to be able to keep it clean for at least one work shift.

I guess maybe I am killing this forum with my complaints about the crappy pattern were in right now. I'll try to refrain from making such posts going forward.

Not sure about elsewhere, but it's quite gusty here in Tamaqua at the moment.
