Thanks. Much of the western half of PA in marginal for storms today as well including Western LSV.

Does not take long to dry up.

US BkBall wins by 54! LOL

My dry period is a lot better than even last year and of course nothing like out West. Last year was the worst drought this area had ever seen according to the locals. Some 3-4 months with just 1" of rain total between all the months. So my comments about drought and dry are more about saving the grass vs. a major drought.

Each run finds a reason, sometimes different sometimes similar, to bring back the cool regime after a few days of moderate heat around the first weekend of August.

I think someone complained as I saw a Green Tagger at the bottom of the list and then an hour later MJS said his post was gone.

Beat MDT by 3.

6Z has the SER bring the transient heat this time but it (SER) too is being pushed around by the next trough from the north...540 line et all.

Some of the northern areas are in D3 and D4 drought status as well. A fairly sticky 62 here this AM.

Indeed it does. Transient heat though several days.

Surprised it was removed since others (like myself) had posted stuff. I did see a moderator in this forum an hour or two ago.

Yes. Its not extreme heat but back to low 90's (or upper 80's for you when back from vaca) in 8 or 9 days. Kind of a middling between the worst heat showing at 0 and 6Z and this depiction. Stronger trough to our north does not come down as easily. But paweather gets to look at his 540 line this time.

18Z is going to let the ridge hang around a lot longer in the 8-10 range.

Other meso's agree that we are back to tracking storms tomorrow and Thursday.

So how about that Nam trying to treat us to some rain. In our current dry look ahead this is a right good namming for some.

The historic district missed out on a great event if you never went through with it. You would have made it more historic. I gave you a wiener instead of laugh...for obvious reason.

Yes, most of these are unvaxxed people. You are better off if vaxxed but you can carry the virus to others per the stuff I have read.

In Florida and basically anywhere it is prevalent now. But I do not want you to be upset over this. I can send you links aplenty but just Google search. I will give one link which was the top one when I searched. That is probably all I am going to say so we can enjoy snow together in the winter. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/health-officials-younger-people-hospitalized-covid-19-delta/287-444b5cc0-b8f6-4be6-8010-de07baa93bde

Definitely not a guarantee you get covid if not careful but I was commenting that the two weeks is more than just passing caution...it takes time for your body to build up its full plan of attack against the virus. The flu or other "normal viruses" do not put normally healthy 30 and 40 year old's in the hospital.

One more thing just in case re: your wife...that two week waiting period after the second jab is a big deal. I know several people who got it because they stopped being careful and did not wait the full two weeks to assume their vaccination had kicked in.

Good post and as to your kids, there are a LOT of people who feel that way. Who knows who is right. Like you said, guidance is all over the place. But someone who thinks we are done with it was always in for disappointment because of 1) Lack of people getting vaxxed. 2) Our lack of understanding of what we are dealing with. The cases are growing, the people who get very sick (mostly unvaxxed) seem to falter much faster and you can almost be guaranteed that there will be another variant that is worse down the road. They are already up to at least Lambda. So when I talk to people about this I try to preach patience and be flexible.

All of these are recommends. If the stores require masks then it will be a requirement to come in. Schools can still choose not to but I bet a lot go with the CDC. The CDC never should have taken the mask rule away in such totality. Its confusing to people and is going to cause anger. Don't take any of my comments as pro mask vs. being fluid with how we move forward because I do not think we know much more about transmission than we did in the beginning of 2020.

So the CDC Guidance was all school kids, regardless of location, wear masks and 2/3 of the adult/non school country start wearing them again inside but for now that only involves 4 counties in PA. Their constant changes are an issue with people following them.

We are all just talking model PBB so no one here cares if something disappears and someone jumped on it. Just for fun in that range.

Franklin is one.
