Looks like Delta made an unscheduled stop at TPA. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/lightning/2021/07/22/battling-coronavirus-lightning-anthem-singer-sonya-bryson-kirksey-encourages-others-to-get-vaccinated/

Start posting daily updates to them when you get there. They will embrace and enjoy.

And to the surprise of probably no one, Super Trough/Summer Polar Vortex is gone at 6Z. Though 6Z is much more sturdy with the trough next week making what was a 100 degree Thursday into one that does not hit 80. Still toasty over here Wed.

57 cloudy degrees here this AM. We did actually get lucky with a bit over 1/2" on Wednesday. I am the equivalent of the last exit of 81 but well to the East near the Franklin/Adams county line. I could walk to MD in under one minute once out my door. Many areas to my south are dry right now as well. But it would not matter how much rain we had if we got none for two weeks. That is too long when the sun is beating down on the ground the whole time. Not going to get a major drought in two weeks but yards and human planted growth will not do well. Ironically a part of North Central is PA currently in a D0. We were going to get this designation here if it had not rained this week.

Time for a Tim Tookey reference? Played for both. He is legend in Hershey.

Understand. It's hard for weather to be good for everyone and record cool is not necessarily a good thing. I was more commenting on air that chilly showing up so close...thinking it was probably fairly rare. The chances if it affecting us directly are probably little to none.

Bring that trough near us and we are talking record cool. Something interesting to watch.

18Z GFS is a smidge warmer on Thursday out our way. Pretty warm Wed both your side and ours. But really minor changes. Unlike an HH run to not change much a week out. 500 Heights anomalies are more blunted but still hold back the real heat through the week. Large scale changes after that. Can we say Polar Vortex in the summer? I see the 540 line and his 4 younger bros to our north. May not change the final outcome a ton but a much different look in fantasy land. Big changes for the upper midwest as to the ridge being bullied down.

I have no idea who the MA folks like in MLB. I know a few are fellow Caps fans. Remember I said friends and I would not call anyone in the MA a friend. LOL. Especially if they wear a Cape.

And not really directly related but the whole Colts debacle is still something that people think about when they think about Baltimore. IMO, Baltimore is the better city of Washington and Baltimore but Washington gets all get attention. Even down to the Washington Capitals/Baltimore Skipjacks thing that used to exist before skedaddling to Portland, ME.

I stopped in Amwx W PA land and saw some of those comments. The Capital 'Burg is in a similar boat being only .8 above normal. But not as close to even as you.

Opiniated speak (drivel?) ahead: I look at the O's as the common man's team. I say that in a good way. They are based in a big city but the city is sort of a sister city to neighbor Washington. I know very few O's fans who are working for investments firms or work at the largest law firm around. I am sure they are plenty of them I just do not know them. All the O's fans I know work normal jobs, have mortgages, and live outside the City. Almost all the Yankee fans I know are the exact opposite. They live in a world of Go Big or Go Home as to their lives. Same as a lot of Red Sox fans (no Offense Canderson). A lot of people at Yankees games are there as part of a business deal of some kind. If I had to break down in front a Yankees fan or O's fans house I would choose the O's in a heartbeat. LOL

Probably some convection Have's but overall it apparently hopes you like your yard as crispy as your friend chicken.

So EC still has the next week saving trough though Wed is a bit toasty down by me. In the area of a see below graphic

There are so MANY O's fans in the southern third of Central PA. He is in good company. They seem really concentrated around Hanover where most O's fans are also Nascar fans. Maybe it is time for you to add a new Cowboys logo to counteract?

I get irritated in the limited capability of mobile devices for some stuff I do. They are great when an App covers the need but not so much if you ever try to use anything "web page based". I use my work computer as well but do not have the limitation you mentioned but understand where you are coming from.

Yet you are probably one of the youngest here. Ha.

I was wondering who this newbie with the Orange Bird was....I read your whole post before realizing it was you. LOL. That is your celebratory change for getting near 7K posts.

Wundermap worth posting. A fairly sunny, albeit it hazy smoky, day and these are the highs at this point. 75 here so not going to make 80 and no rain to buffer it down. Old Fashioned Summer day. Second map is DP's.

Not much different than my routine though I use the phone quite a bit with pillow. My alarm is set for 6:30 but rarely make it there. Usually 5:30 to 6. My pillow time is more in the evening. I have issues with TT and putting a run on automatic forward (on mobile). The screen blanks out frequently. So I am starting force myself to wait until I get to a larger screen to look.

Well regardless of temp hopefully it turns out to be a restful and fun vaca. In the MA's eyes (not just the board, the general population) they did not steal anything. They consider it eminent domain. Most people in the MA live in a bubble and think everywhere else is just like their area. If they feel like travelling to the panhandle of MD then its now part of the MA.

FYI, no zoom meetings today so no khakis.

I use State Farm for some stuff so I may get exclusive hourly panels out to 240 hours.

I am going to predict it does not come to that...just model talk. GFS could be in kick the can down the road mode. The MA board loves them some Deep Creek.
