  1. You better report that to the MA Cicada thread!
  2. Going to add that for me the worst threat of living in Florida was driving at night, outside city areas, after heavy rains. The rivers swell so fast that the local authorities often do not have a chance to close roads that are flooded so it was common for people to plow into raging rivers that were many feet deep and a car could never make it through. I once had to have all the bearings in my wheels replaced when I plowed into 4 feet of water driving into a housing development. My car started to float but had enough momentum to make it across. But if you hit a real river your life is on the line.
  3. Yep, that is what I meant. Most people seem to get less and less cold resistant as they age. So its not as bad to them as we think it would be. But with that said, the population is not as old as one would think There are a LOT of younger people there who just put up with miserable temps. Hurricanes are vastly overrated as to an actual issue for large areas. It happens but its not that often.
  4. Del Boca Vista is one explanation. I played a lot of tennis down there and could lose 10 pounds in a match. When not doing outdoor stuff on purpose you keep inside. LOL. Another thing, it is MUCH windier up here which helps some. That 76/74 is usually calm winds as well which makes it so much worse.
  5. That DP is actually not too bad. It is usually in the mid to upper 70's overnight and in the Am. It was 76/74 at 5AM.
  6. Orlando specific, it could be 75 there right now and its still miserable. Almost all of June through Sept and most of April, May, and Oct. You were fortunate if it was not humid.
  7. Your post, after a recent downpour, reminds of the sales pitch Time Share people try to use in convincing people Florida is ok in the summer. "It rains every afternoon and cools you off". It does rain a lot of afternoons, especially in the middle of the state where the sea breezes converge, but it is god awful after the rain. It goes from 92 and moderately humid to 86 and ultra humid. Wearing glasses is a hazard in seeing with the fogged up lenses.
  8. Yes, and the forecasts are too often influenced by those bloated NAM and GFS outputs I spoke about earlier today. One storm equals rain for the whole area the last week or so. The EC totals are over 72+ hours so not too bad...plus a nice Saturday to boot.
  9. LOL. Its the first time Future radar hits me since I started watching it last week. This side of the mountain is getting drier than the inside of a desiccant packet.
  10. EC says to cancel your Thursday, Friday and Sunday outdoor plans.
  11. WGAL future radar says you get it in a lesser form. I am amped because it drills me later today.
  12. WLSV/CLSV/ESLV? Puts pawseather near line of CLSV.
  13. Much of the LSV is in the 1.5-2" range there which is not too shabby but those maps are frequently just so "not right". Lol. I know the East LSV, where you are, is a bit lower.
  14. Definitely. Just need the qpf to come through. 10 days of nice summer temp wise.
  15. NY Border gets down near 40. Maybe hoping for a sub 40 reading there is more realistic. LOL. Record wise it is quite common to get into the 40's in June at MDT but has never made it down into the 30's. It has actually made it at least into the 40's every month at MDT including July.
  16. After tomorrow's mid 80's, nothing remotely close to 90 degrees at MDT, on the 12z GFS, until June 19th. A couple nights in or near the 40's next week.
  17. Canderson stole your rain? Actually I would think his cell hits you if it does not fizzle.
  18. Interesting to see on radar...that cell was almost due east of New Bloomfield and once it hit the river it transferred and reformed over the 'Burg.
  19. I have noticed, the last week or two, that the global models (all of them) are doing terribly at predicting the pop up convection type rains we have seen recently. Broad brushing qpf for everyone. Unfortunately in the last few days the non global Nam is doing the same thing. Make using of most traditional models, for qpf forecast, fairly useless. Re: here is what the 12Z Nam says we see this afternoon. Almost every mile of PA gets rain. Let me know when it happens. I understand the lower resolution models will broad brush a bit too much but this is beyond broad brushing and just outright wrong (at least the last week or so).
  20. Yea, I like the refreshing periods up here where a front passes through and it may get up into the 70's due to summer sun but the nights can get into the 50's. If there is moisture around, the nights are not comfortable. The problem is even if its 70's/50's, the sun is going to dry out the ground and the low humidity will make the ground moisture even worse so a no rain but good feeling summer is bad for the farms.
  21. But it rarely stays that high every single day. We get summer cold fronts here. DP's in the 40's possible this weekend.
