I could not say 66 as its retired from all use in PA. Ha. But I cannot put Pen's in my analogies, no offense. Pen's are the Cap's nemesis. Just looked at the CMC and it appears it does not even know what an over 90 degree temp is in the next 10 days.
We had a decent cell form just to our west and slice right through the area like a John LeClair PPG from the slot. A quick .6". Grateful. Probably the most amazing thing about it was the surface temp dropped to 62 during the downpour making it our low for the day.
Yea it was still hot but nothing near 100. Speaking of not hot, at an event outside right now and it's downright nice out. Even with masks on (we are going in an out of buildings).
Not sure it matters in the big picture but think it is an August snow storm for the Eastern Side of Canada. Did not notice when the northwest got their snow. Dog days of august!
18Z GFS says "Sorry about the false alarm" and never once takes MDT over 90 at the 18Z hour. Has possible 30's at the end of the run for Bradford. The chess match continues.
Its a right of passage, when you get older, to yell at the kids to get off your grass. Get off my vinca does not have the same ring of authority to it.
Somehow this map keeps getting worse. Some areas of VA have no precip for 16 days. Will call BS on that but still crazy low totals. Convection will make this map moot for the Have's.
The idea of a large Central US ridge, whether country wide or not, has been shoved down our throat now for several days. I think we likely have some days in the 90's (both sides of the state) next week.
It technically gets me up to 100 a week from tomorrow but the temp map is all over the place with 10 degree spreads from near by areas so not taking it literally. That coast to coast ridge is a painful site to look at though just for the cap it will put on anything significant rain wise. The GFS basically minors out Sunday's rain influence on Southern PA.
