Pretty cool 94 WIP playing snippets of Harry Kalas's great calls before each break. He passed 16 years ago today. His voice was the Merrill Reese of baseball....

41F/Cloudy Some precip spinning around...probably a couple more showers.

It's going to be a pretty good constant soaking for several hours. I don't think any downpours but a nice steady rain. Wind has picked up in the last hour or two... 44F/Rain

I remember sometime in the late 70s/early 80s we had a rain storm which turned to sleet then snow in April. I was delivering late afternoon papers on my Huffy and witnessed the entire transition. Cool stuff as a kid and still cool now...

Just outside, yeah this is the steady constant variety....drough guy's favorite. 45F/Steady rain

Tonight looks fun and seasonal with rain and some winds which we haven't seen in a while... *Think we get more than .65"

Steady stuff moving in... 44F

47F/Sunny/Pred low 34F Very excited about the next 3 cloudy/rainy/below normal temp days along with our friend wind supplying 25-30mph gust...outstanding.

Nah, Jeans, T-shirt and flannel. Haven't wore a jacket in a while though...and gloves it has been ages. (Usually only during any snow)

I don't have a problem with this at all...anything to hold off the heat. 43F/Mostly Cloudy/Windy/April 8th/Projected low 24F Neato!

Here's a more detailed breakdown: Record-Breaking Windiness: This March saw an unusually high number of wind advisories and days with strong gusts.

Other Records: The windiness in March also tied the record for the most days with gusts of 30 mph or more since January 1st.

AI says the same for Philly...

It's got to be up there. I'm to the point where I'm surprised / shocked if there isn't wind. 37f/ sunny/ and of course wind.

Rain this weekend and throw in a couple good thunderstorms and you could hit 8-10". Still 3/4 of the month left...

If only it would stay there. We'll have that for a short period then shoot right into the 80s-90s with insane dew points. Screw that! Give me today till Sept/Oct and totally skip late Spring/Summer. 39F/light rain Ahhh....beautiful.

39F/light-mod rain

39F/Cloudy,misty If only Spring could continue this trend...

More overnight into Monday...

From drought guy to flood guy just like that, in a snap....

Had some on and off showers this morning, now the sun is poking through.... 48f

47F/ cloudy, misty with some fog. Great Halloween looking day out there... *170 days till Fall

53F/light rain, drizzle, mist Looking hours ahead, Phils 4pm game may have some issues...

No injuries or fatalities...all in good fun. That peak wind was impressive, 95-105mph. Surprised there hasn't been more damage/fires from lightning because the last two events were light shows galore. Continuous strikes...

The reason they're letting him pitch is hopefully he gets some good starts in then use him for trade bait at the deadline.We all know he's going to fall apart at some point but hopefully it's on another team. Phils want to bring up Painter from AAA at some point.
