Watching this...

Because of this. Big truck (not the oversize) brought wires and a pole down on PA 100.

I was going to cut back on posting but this forum seems to be healthier now than over the winter.  Maybe lack of snow did that.    But I do enjoy following the updates on the latest model trends.   Keep em coming. 

Yeah, this forum is usually dead this time of year.

You better report that to the MA Cicada thread! 

Speaking of cicadas, the Hazleton area is infested with them, yet nothing in my neighborhood. I even had one land on my neck while I was loading my water... 

Then this guy showed up on the spring house wall...

Flood advisories here in Allentown, and back home in Tamaqua? A paltry 0.01" of rain. I swear I live in the boringest, most benign weather location in Pennsylvania. Even in Hurricane Sandy I only had a 23 mph gust and about an inch of rain. Snowstorms, hahaha...nada chance.

It's sticky outside...

Friday

A chance of showers, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Friday Night

Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 63. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Saturday

A chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 77. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Saturday Night

Mostly cloudy, with a low around 61.

Sunday

A chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 76. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

 

I wouldn't necessarily mind those temps if it weren't for the shower chances each day.

91 at 4 pm. I’m surprised it isn’t hotter today. 

93 (92.7) here at 4:00pm. Hottest day of the year so far.

88/58 here so it's a dry heat...lol

Changed the post as it bumped up to 91.8 at some point in the past few minutes.

Got my first 90 today with the new station. Looks like, for now, I'll top out at 91.8°F.

So what happens in the next game after the Phillies score 17 runs on 18 hits and 7 homeruns. Yup, same old same old. One run on 6 hits...

Managed 0.37" today.

Storms are firing...

Bold is unfortunate unless kidding.  I think your boss should have some sort of wash setup, the is large enough for you, to run your truck through.  But I totally agree with you in that if I take my car out even when the streets are just wet its just it was never washed.  Frustrating sometimes. 

We barely have enough room to park the trucks when everyone is in, so no wash rack. We have a pressure washer, but you still need soap and a brush to do it right.

As for the bolded, yes I'm kidding...

Nothing showing on radar yet, but it has that "look" in Sunbury...

The heat island there can do it based on experience.  Just glad the 95-100 temps appears to be diminishing as to a possibility and rain chances are right back on the docket all next week. 

Too many rain chances. Tired of spending 3 hours washing my tractor trailer (boss sort of requires it) for barely one day of clean before it gets crapped up again.

I really should live in the desert with my warm and dry preferences, but unless I want a divorce (getting close to considering it) I can't move.

0.00 in the gauge today...

In the meanwhile, Phillies scored 17 runs in one game. LOL. Now I expect they will be shut out for the next 3 games. 

Not unlike their winning streaks. The can rattle off 8 in a row only to lose the next 10 and be worse off than when they started...

Just wanted to share this pic that my son took last week of the second severe warned storm we had. This was the one about 8:45 pm in Dauphin County at Berrysburg, Pa. Very strong winds that brought  trees down and very heavy rain and small hail.

I saw the damage from that one last week. It's on my route from Tower City to Sunbury. I'll be driving through there today as well.

Wow.  Was that one of the years MDT set a record?  I was figuring with the way Memorial day vacillates around end the end of May the chances of hitting one with a temp coder than 42 was low. 

I wish I could remember the exact year. Has to be at least 5-10 years ago.

Sunny and 42 .  Possibly the coldest open to a Memorial day in history.  

Maybe for you, but a few years back we had frost on Memorial Day morning up here in the Skook. It warmed up quickly, but it was cold at first light.

I think you may be the board winner.  I am just around 2".  Still suspect some areas of eastern Lancaster county got up to 3" 

You may be right about Lancaster County. It appeared that areas south and east of me did get even more rain than I did...

At any rate, the past three days for me went like this...

5/28 - 1.30"

5/29 - 0.63"

5/30 - 0.19"

Total - 2.12"

The lessened rain has taken away our chance of staying in the 40's.  Dry here now and 50.  Mushrooms growing up in the yard because my grass is so immature.  Suggests the yard is quite wet.

I'm at .04" for the day, 1.35" for the event. Temp is up to 55 here. 

I'm at .17" today and 2.08" for the event since Friday. As for the rain holding down temps, nope. I'm at 51.8° right now as opposed to yesterday's high of 49.6°.
