    It's almost 5pm and the temperature is still rising. Already 4°F over forecast. 84 right now. At least it's dry-ish?

    .73" from yesterday and this morning. Not bad. Still some passing showers, and just saw a lightning strike near Allentown. Just a lovely, dreary, late spring weekend morning. Mmm, coffee. Morning, all.

    Getting some training, heavy rain now. Not much in the way of thunder. If I wasn't planning on staying up a couple more hours, this would be wonderful to fall asleep to.

    What do we think about the system about to head through Maryland? SPC has most of the southwest part of MD under a thunderstorm watch until 10pm. Is that when the threat dies down, or is that when the threat moves out of the area? We're starting to get into the hours of the night when diurnally driven convection should taper off, but I don't know about this system given how long-lived it has been.

    For all that sturm und drang, we only ended up with .29". Now it's super humid, 68°F. We did record a wind gust of 24mph as it went through.

    This is right on our doorstep:

    I know it's not for everybody, but I rather enjoyed it, actually. Today was a super nice day to be out in the field, without the sun just beating down on you like it seems to do more often these days. I dunno, maybe I just didn't notice it as much growing up, but it sure feels way hotter when it's sunny out than it used to.

    Days like today are 100% why I wanted to be a geologist. More than makes up for all of the crappy weather days. This was my "office" for today, doing some well sampling in some woods north of Coatesville. 69 and dry here now. Only got .03" precip yesterday. Loving this weather after last weekend.

    Seeing lots of pink returns in that line sweeping through Chester Co.

    Eh, most of the rain went north and south of us. Cooled down to a much more respectable 75°F though.

    Just had a proper gust front from a cell moving overhead. It's about to pour!

    Clouded over just a few minutes ago, temp's down to 89 now.
  13. CoolHandMike
    That's hot.

    One of my poor neighbors decided now was the right time to mow. Hope they're staying hydrated.

    Do tell! Maybe in the banter thread?
  16. CoolHandMike
    And there it is.

    Sounds about right. Wasn't nearly as intense as it looked like it was going to be. "Only" dropped another .25" for a total of 1.35" on the day.

    Those clouds I mentioned turned out to be pretty thick scud. It was cool to watch it swirling around as it passed over though.

    I don't know if you all can make it out, but there are some ominous looking clouds to my west where that line is trying to form: That last cell dumped .85" for a total today of 1.1"
  20. CoolHandMike
    We're up to .25" from the first batch of storms. Big, fat drops of water, too.
  21. CoolHandMike
    Bow echo forming?

    Boy howdy. I just went for a little jaunt in my new car, came back and found out that it will fit in my garage even though the garage is full of projects. Then it started downpouring. Not seeing any rotation in the velocity scan though, but there are hints of hail in the regular returns.
  24. CoolHandMike
    Yup, that's what it looks like. Quite the impressive MSC incoming. It's supposed to get pretty warm today, I wonder if we won't see that thing gaining strength throughout the day.

    Interesting clouds to my west with the approaching rain:
