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.

Oh boy...CDC announcements coming in 75 min.

Seems like a good deal for both sides.

86 here at 1:30. 90 is probable but not assured now. Temps have stalled a bit.

I do not buy those thought processes. I do buy that it comes out so often that our opinions can be clouded by all the swings. FWIW, 0Z had the same heat as 6Z as to today.

Do you know a way to get it free? Please let us know :-). (Said in jest, I do not eat at buffets)

Yep. I am surprised it backed off with no sign of it anymore. Ridge back in the west and Atlantic ridge pushed back again. From highs in the 100's back to the mid 80's. Maybe too fast.

So out in fantasy land, the ridge trying to be more Northern positioned puts the kibosh on PA hot weather like it was showing earlier. Some near 90 temps but nothing like the 100 degree temps forecasted at 6Z. Bowling ball troughs keep coming out of Canada and keep the ridge at bay. No sign of a ridge setting up for us. It will probably be back and forth though.

The Harrisburg Susky rapids. Just have to hope convection related stuff saves those that want water.

If we have to wait until then I will be in D1 and down at the bank to borrow money for the water bill.

Oh no doubt. I was doing PBP but its all good news on the GFS. We would almost forget what real summer feels like by the end of next week. And like I added to the other post, its more of a Northern position ridge so frankly I am not afraid of that. Just need to find rain somehow though. The new trough is appearing to try and sweep in for the following weekend.
