Now is his time to gloat about the Buc's win last night.

Sure, just off to our SE....not sprawling into the Ohio Valley for over a week.

No doubt, just hope that uber ridge does not set up both for temps and precip. Warm is one thing, one to two weeks of a constant "high pressure" is another. I was not ready for my AC bill to jump yet. Noticed a little tropical like storm spinning around off the coast of Florida.

Yep, Johnny Cash is coming to shut down the mowing.

The GFS has been wrong at ~300 hours all year so far so who knows...but that is ugly look for temps and hydrology around here.

Someone should do a safety check on @TimB when he sees this.

Anytime I see 85-87 on those Panels, I feel CXY itching to prove something.

CMC keeps saying to watch for a 90 tomorrow or Thur

Late Nooners...66 in Rou.

Yea, the ring of fire is never good for rain.

Summer like "ring of fire" sets up over the East Coast in Mid-April on the GFS...after teasing some possible snow flakes on Easter. CMC teases someone hitting 90 on Wunderground later this week.

There is a pocket of 30's North and NW of Harrisburg. Some reports in the LSV are in the mid 50's! 54 just to my west.

How do you walk in that thing?

49 Here

That would put a serious dent into the mowing wars.

I am not sure if the norms are off a base set of years or longer term. As of right now the country as a whole is doing "ok". Our issue is that we would usually be stocking up on precip to prepare for the real hot season and it is not happening. Texas and the immediate states to their North are the worst areas in the country right now (Cont. 48).

https://pa.water.usgs.gov/apps/drought/ Above is a really cool USGS informational link for each county. It tracks the 4 indicators below. Adams county is in the red on Ground Water meaning they are in a Drought Emergency on that one indicator but overall, it is not too bad yet... though almost all LSV and MSV counties are in the yellow on at least one indicator. 90 Day Precip Surface Water Ground Water Palmer Index https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data/palmer-drought-severity-index-pdsi (What is the Palmer Index)

My Zone had 67 this AM I believe.

While there, bring the Mav's some respect as well....they have lost all of it at this point.

I think you mentioned that before but was surprised it was so high. On MDT's scale we (Code: Rou) finished March about ~2 to 2.5 degrees below normal with an average temp of about 39.5. I keep hastily recorded records, but they are close. I realize we are supposed to be below MDT but quite the disparity. Temp wise March was quite cool here.

Yea, or if Irma had not tucked in over Punta Gorda and hit Tampa as expected.

That is over a degree higher than average vs. MDT which was only 1.2.

The final numbers for Ian are in. 156 deaths and the most expensive Hurricane in Florida history. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/weather/hurricane/os-ne-hurricane-ian-death-damage-nhc-report-20230403-ibv6yl2bpnfh3enxb5uk62c4se-story.html

@Itstrainingtime the CMC read your concern about my area and fixed it up so we are all the same. LOL
