At what point is a devil with a pitchfork running around included in the graphics? I was going to say 110 but on second thought, isn't 110 pretty common? I hope we will stay comfy here for a few more weeks before the heat and humidity kick in and stay on for the next three months or more.

Couldnt find a definitive answer, but Phoenix averages somewhere around 15 days over 110 each year.

Gotta love the flame graphics on this pic from Facebook...lol

Wow, if the GFS is on to something we are going to have a most excellent end to Spring over the next two weeks.  A persistent trough, filled with Vorts that keep rotating down over or above us, keeps temps more than in check, well BN, and on and off chances of light rain.  There are a couple chances for frost but other than that, wow.  Love if it comes close to right.   Suck it Western US.

 

 

Ugh...that sounds so depressing...

It is time for full Monty to move on.   Down by 30 at the half in elimination games 2 years in a row. 

It was definitely brought up on talk radio this morning.

I think it is pretty clear to me Celtics in 7. Sixers cannot get out of the second round. 

My Suns didn't. They totally shit the bed last night. I was really hoping for a Suns-Sixers championship series.

We thought you were the fall guy.

Actually, I'm the summer guy...

Voyager took the winter away from us, now he's robbing us of the warmth also.

Outside of our run to 100 last week, we've still been generally normal to slightly below, so you can't blame spring on me...lol

This will be gone next run but wow, highs in the low 40's in mid to late May.  THAT is super anomalous.

 

Not that I'm reveling in it, but it would be fitting that after such a mild, snowless winter, you'd get such shitty late spring weather. 

If I remember right, a few of you did "predict" wintry weather for May back when it was actually "supposed" to be winter.

Unlike Friday's stratiform coverage of rain, today there were numerous bands oriented south to north. Shoot, MDT had nearly 1" of rain before the first drops fell here. You and I are not the only ones under 1" for the day.

Like I said, the current south to north band is just dumping on Tamaqua. 

2.57" today, and 3.70" for the event now.

Just looked at radar. Looks like Tamaqua is under the gun for a few more hours as the heavy rain is training from south to north without much of an eastward push.

If my station in Tamaqua is still measuring correctly we (they) got 2.33" so far today and 3.35" for the entire event. Still raining at a half inch per hour rate, so those numbers will likely increase. 

Meanwhile, here in the desert...

Sun City nooners:

Sunny, 95 degrees.

At the moment, a half inch today and 1.61" for the event in Tamaqua.

Day two at 100 degrees. Tomorrow will be day three...

We had our first 100 of the year today!

I just checked my Tamaqua backyard temp, and it's 50 degrees warmer here than there.

97 - 47

Chin up, Sun!  With that Nugget of info, you will sure not be Clipped by Canderson while he is passing you.   A mild 44 here this Am. 

Suns and Nuggets. Nice post!

Go Suns...

Dead calm here - interesting

Your wind goes from NE to SW to West to North to NE to SW.  Interesting. 

Yeah, it's like that out here. Definitely different. Even the thunderstorms. The monsoon storms will often times move north to south or east to west. They form over the mountains and then get drawn down into the desert by the intense heat.

I’ve enjoyed your Jeep off road videos. You missed out some good PA trails! 

Thanks! I can't wait to do Schnebly Hill and Broken Arrow in Sedona. The scenery will be fantastic! There's literally hundreds, if not thousands, of free trails out here due to the amount of free public land.

Looking like great weekend coming up for me... 

Up to 0.08" now... 

lol...

0.02" in the gauge in Tamaqua.

49 degrees at 12:10pm. This is the spring high school sports weather I remember for many years in the past.

Yes I remember track practice and the track meets with this kind of weather. I remember freezing during the practice sessions in jr.high and high school at Milton Hershey. That cold wind was nasty in the open down there.

When I was doing newspaper photography I froze more doing spring sports than fall sports.

For what it's worth, Tamaqua got the 90s.
