I am hoping for some in the bucket. GFS has been shown over and over to paint too large of qpf areas where convection induced rain is concerned. Definitely the land of the Meso regardless of how poorly they have also done.
West Shore School District sending non AC schools home for the rest of the week.
WGAL really focusing on the drought today with a Lanco farmer on asking for rain ASAP. Joe Calhoun licking his wounds after downplaying the heatwave last week. Says Lee is a possible issue for the LSV and possible severe storms tomorrow Western LSV.
That reminds me of this cracker from earlier this year. Florida man.....

That comment (climate more like Central Mid Atlantic now) has been made here several times over the last several years...not so much with scientific numbers but general observations. I still think this summer was a break for us considering recent times, but the larger picture looks at it show warming to me no matter how one looks at the numbers.
Yep, when I was in Oc last fall last year a tropical storm had just departed the Atlantic area to the east of the coast, and I was jumping into 10-12 feet waves. Not exactly smart.
Jan/Feb are leading the charge for this year with their incredibly warm departures...with April sticking it to us as well. The thing that continues to stand out to me with the stats you post are the number of recent years that show up in your stats. In this one above an incredible 12 out of 13 are over the last 32 years.
Some here feel like sacrificing Dec is how you get big snows. I mean, how much credence do we put in prediction 4 months from now. Last Dec was a big victory in the pattern and temp department.
We had a hard day deciphering whether your soft record was correct. LOL. It was not too bad here on the land either....it is like Summer is wheezing and running out of gas as it blows its last gasp.
2 of the hottest days in MDT history are in Met fall. Autumnal heat wave indeed. The 93 is indeed very low...MJS called it a soft record...a bit of an insult thrown at it.
Water, Gatorade, lemonade, Tang?
Joe C had some more good stats. 16th day this year 90 or over at MDT which is exactly one half of the 32 we had last year at this time. Yearly average is 23 putting 2023 WAY below the average.
