Currently 69 in Tamaqua. Much warmer than what was forecast for today. 

If this is true, then I hope they build a few data centers around Tamaqua.

23 here. My tulips are toast. Too many frosty mornings since they first popped out of the ground.

Not sure what happened, but CTP made a major correction overnight.

Maybe mahantango's exorcism gif did the trick...

It’ll be close to 20 degrees above normal Monday through Wednesday. Freezing rain at 45? No way.  

It wasn't the freezing rain that got me, but the cold air and chance of frozen precipitation falling. I'm pretty sure the snow (hopefully anyway) wouldn't accumulate either.

I'm not saying I want 75 every day going forward, I'm just sick of the cloudy 40's, and wish we'd not drop below 50 on the cooler days.

Sweet mother of God. It just won't end...

i would not mind..

I'd have to move whether my wife came with me or not. 40's all summer would close to literally make me want to kill myself.

mostly trolling I think, no one thinks a 40 degree windy nasty day is nice

C'mon man. You know better than this. Some people would love cloudy and 40 from now till October

Warm & wet looks like the theme for Central PA for the first couple weeks of April. Spring growth should commence with haste over the next few weeks.

 

But then there's next Fridays forecast. Back down into the 40's...

WTF.... 

It's only 38 in my Tamaqua backyard. Do we HAVE to get THIS cold the day after a 70+ reading?

I'd be ok with 48-52, but really...

Seriously?

You like sweating constantly?

Gnats, mosquitoes?

Allergies?

Hearing leaf blowers at 7am on weekends?

If the Phils suck no real home town sports to watch? 

No real holidays? Ok, the 4th a little.

And dead looking landscape? Have you seen a dry summer? We had many (consult drought guy)...ya know where the grass turns yellow-brown and crunchy where you can't even walk on it w/bare feet.

Bottom line, the summer sucks for the most part besides severe weather, some fishing/gardening and you have to pray the Phils don't suck. But I'm usually sick of it come mid July and can't wait till Fall.

But yeah, people who love hot weather (95F+/DP 70F+) are mentally ill or have frontal lobe damage.....      

 

Like I said to Mikeymac, I may not understand the love of winter, but I at least try to respect it.

I sense quite a bit of sarcasm in that post. I wouldn't take that as offensive. 

Signed: Severe Weather Nutjob

I hope so, because while I may not be able to grasp the concept of loving cold, snow, and the gloom and mess of winter, I try to respect it.

Over the past few days, my Saturday high went from 44 to 42 to 41 to now 39.

Ridiculous...

I rather talk/reply to myself all summer long with no one else making a appearance  than the above suggestion.

There are some severe weather nutjobs in this subforum, hurricane screw ups and if we go a month without rain we all know drought guy will say the world will end. Hopefully will get a surprise earthquake , a couple F3-F4 tornadoes and I didn't hear anything about any potential bug plagues but I think overall we'll be alright....

52F/expected low  of 43F

Seriously?

Hell of a way to describe weather enthusiasts who like something other than endless cloudy days, snowstorms, and frigid temperatures that coincide with a dead looking landscape.

Man, these last few posts. All true for me.

87storms. You sound like the Mid Atlantic version of me. A true warmanista. My work as a truck driver, hauling spring water, and spending 50% of my day outdoors makes me prefer temps of 50+ as a minimum.

IronTy. That's about how I feel about winter. Christmas to Valentine's is about enough for me.

sorry but 39 and overcast with mist/drizzle is cold any time of the year

You are 100% correct.

Today's mid 30's feels SO much better than yesterday's mid 30's.

Sunshine changes everything.

Just to add insult to injury, to go along with the stupid 32 degree temperature, now it's snowing up in Hazleton too.

38 in my backyard. 31 to 33 depending on station in Hazleton.

I am amazed with this record heat in Phoenix area.

That's because I'm not there. If I was, it would be warm here and cold there...lol

Me thinks there's going to be a lot of active weather in the coming months. 

I just hope we don't ride the boundary all summer long where we get a nice day or two followed by 2-3 muck days, then a nice one again, and so forth and so on.

I'm delivering Hazleton today again, and it's cloudy, drizzly, and 36 outside. Nasty, depressing stuff.

Seems to be garden variety stuff here, but was kind of expected. Supposedly there were 10 strikes near my station, but I've not heard one rumble of thunder.

AccuWeather future radar indicates a potentially busy next couple hours here in Tamaqua. I just hope the hail stays away.

Back in May 2011, we had a prolific hailstorm the ruined the Dodge Stratus I owned at the time. The pic is one of the hailstones I picked up in our backyard from that storm.

Thunder and lightning here 

First drops here, but no noise, or even lightning detection, yet...

Edited to add that future radar shows more interesting stuff coming after this first slug between 6:30 and 7:30.

Of interest (whether good for storms or not) is that we were partly to mostly sunny all afternoon. Now, the clouds that we've had around are pushing south, and we have a totally cloudless sky.

Just wondering if that's going to fuel bigger and better storms, or if it's going to hinder our chances for severe.

68/51 currently.
