The latest Drought map stayed very similar to last week. D0 for eastern LSV and far South West/South Central PA. I would expect it to jump up some next week even if it rains Sat as the totals are not looking impressive.

I saw your post then envisioned this....read too quickly.

This snip can attest to your thought. MDT has reached 70 (normal or above) 5 days in a row, yet 3 of those days have been 2+ degrees BN. More recently low's are leading the way as we head into the last 20 days of Met Spring and MDT already has another 40's low on the board this AM though today could end up AN overall as MDT just needs to reach 77/78. Interesting factoid...the first 5 days of June are the only Met Summer days that the average high at MDT is below 80. Norms for today are rounded to 72/52.

A chilliish 43 here.

With the benefit of the near 1/4 inch soaker yesterday, mow number 6 is in the books. When I am droughting all summer I can look back to the moment as a high point.

14 percent per can/bottle or no story to tell. Lol

The GFS marched straight to some "Summer Forst" next week. After the modeling failure yesterday, safe to question but not seeing much in the way of continued summer weather at 500 on the GFS or CMC. The Atlantic does not want to let Winter go. I would define summer at temps 85 and above.

Nooners...a Chamber like 62 degrees.

You had a frost advisory not too far from you.

Smoke must be quite high in allowing us to dip into the 30's.

Thanks. I checked the HRRR smoke panels, and nothing showed up on the ones I looked. Must have been the wrong panels. They have different panels for different layers in the atmosphere. But it surely does look like smoke.

Sky looks smoky this Am. Sun being blanked out. HRRR Smoke panel does not show anything though.

39 here. 36 is even lower than I thought you would get

Philly stole their lucky charms

I know you are talking over several months, but May actually is close to 1" a week. MDT averages .95" (rounded) per week in May and stands .97" behind for the month as of yesterday. They are also 2.43" behind for the year as of yesterday. MDT's norm May precip is 3.83".

Only if it is before the end of July.

Frost on the other side of the Pillow tonight @mahantango#1? Advisories up for parts of this sub.

Have Fun, Mike.

Definitely better than getting 3" one week and little for 2-3 weeks. I am sure someone has decent stats, but we lose a large amount of the 3" deluge to runoff vs. 1" on 3 different days. The plants especially need the rain spread out.

EB Nooners due to a meeting...light to mod rain and 54.

I was not going to be the first to say it (and I am getting a decent soaker today...at least grass wise) but yes, it goes a week or two with no rain and it gets dry fast.

Still raining here. About .13" now. No rain shadow today.

The high may be over normal if the sun really cranks it up. Still pouring here. Nice little event for the grass.
