Bubbler86

Matches up well with the LNS 67. It does feel especially hot out this AM and I just walked out and did not see a cloud in the sky. This may be a day where we gain 30+ degrees (over here at least) on the high as compared to the low it started from.

That and if they tested her mid-event then the Covid testing is getting out of hand. LOL. I did read that Tokyo had their highest positives yesterday and some of the locals are pissed and want the Olympics gone. Not going to happen at this point though.

I read she landed awkwardly.

York had a low of 62 last night and LNS 67. It may truly be time to consider if MDT is a bad location for our representative. After the last two July's, this one has been a treat temp wise yet we still end up above normal because of the bad nighttime readings. (MDT or city temps in Harrisburg)

Of the 3 recent summers I have been back here, this one has been the most obvious that elevation helps in some situations. It was below 71 before midnight last night (here).

Yea, though Thur-Sat will probably end up be below norm at MDT it not enough to catch up to the 1/2 to 3/4 above normal they have now. May be close. MDT's high's are actually below normal it is the HIA lows that hurt it. The USA G.O.A.T. gymnast just pulled out from the Olympics team final.

Euro has all of us under some form of negative heights for almost the whole run past 48 hours. Also has the Nor'Easter look to it, that the GFS also had, the first week of August. Rain misses most of the forum though it does get Eastern and South Eastern LSV on the Euro.

6Z moved the possible record setting heat up a day or two but still fantasy land and little chance of happening per past performance. But before that we are talking as good as you can get with temps. We will be spoiled if that goodness plays out. Still so very, very dry.

A not too shabby 64 this AM. That will be warmer than most of the next 10 days lows per the GFS.

I did not look that closely outside this Thursday then randomly saw the 50's all day maps in NC. I did run through the 2M maps and did not see big heat so was not sad.

18Z models still look hopeful for some Thursday dry relief and midnight high Thursday temp relief. Aug 4th temps stay in the 50's all day in Western NC.

We ended up at 86 for a high. Never cleared out.

We almost got saddled with an S but officially going with a T when the last line came through.

Yea, its not been mostly sunny here either but was not going to be too picky. But when it rains or rain comes nearby on a Mostly Sunny zone then I may point it out. Hancock storm is moving a bit soo south for me to get a piece unfortunately.

Well these lines would be good but not for 240 :-). The mostly sunny comment was a sarcastic c omment on the zones. For the third time in a week or two, some will be having a wet mostly sunny.

He ain't heavy, he is my 540...

Another trend I noticed lately, on the GFS, is that it goes with this cool summer look until the very end then throws a 95-100 day in there day 15 and 16. Its been doing that for several days now. Kicking it back each day.

its been an ongoing theme now for several days in a row. Feels pretty safe to commit to at least some version of it.

Thanks and appreciate the reply. I am going to reply and agree that we simply do not know who is or not immune and that makes decision making tough. I think immune is a bad word. Lots of fully vaxxed people are coming down with Covid now. Just not as severe as non vaxxed people it appears. But the main point in my reply is going to be that the Covid we will be dealing with this fall is worse than the one from last year. Transmission happens more easily and for some reason, no one knows why as far as I know, younger people are much more susceptible to getting hospital sick. I have read articles that suggest it is because a lot of older people are vaxxed but that does not add up to me as younger people did not get as sick with 2020 Covid. Hospitals in Florida are filling up with 30 and 40 year old people and some hospitals are actually more filled now than anytime in the past. So I guess to me the best advice I give anyone is to not let your guard down and not to look at last winter as to a guide of what is coming this fall.

Once past this Wednesday, day after day of highs the 60's and 70's and lows in the 40's and 50's. Think MDT had one day over 80 scattered in.

Probably part of the reason we are going to struggle for rain today.

Radar has some rain forming out to west now but still think it is a southern thing today.

Like I mentioned, Maryland just announced that it is strongly recommended all non vaxxed kids wear masks. Since kids under 12 cannot get a vax that means they want all kids under 12 to wear masks. The state does not have the authority to require it though. Many of the largest schools districts in the country have already announced masks for all kids which is why I said it was assumed kids would be wearing them....but I guess some schools districts might not. I know NY, Chicago and LA will require masks for all kids (LA requires all adults to wear masks when indoors). Not sure about in person or not but think most are going in person.

LOL, I think its a forgone conclusion that kids under 12, and maybe all kids, are wearing masks going back to school. Whether teachers enforce it all day will be the question. I know for adults it is a bit of a personal decision but if you look at a county like Franklin, with only 1/3 of the folks vaxxed, its a bit worrisome.
