    Had a look at what the atmosphere is doing in earth.nullschool.net and noticed that there is a bubble of low pressure spinning anti-clockwise under an area of high pressure (going clockwise) right off the Delmarva. It's like the upper atmosphere is completely decoupled from the lower part. I don't know it that means anything but I thought it was neat given our recent weather "pattern".

    Lucky. I can't even use that excuse--too many woodshop projects on my backlog. Don't get me wrong, the worst day in the woodshop beats the best day at work, but the wife has commissioned several pieces of furniture that aren't going to build themselves, involving a whole lot of tedious joinery (completely my fault lol). Anyways, we've been gifted with a rare <80°F August day so spirits are up all around in my house.

    Same thing happened here. Now sitting at 2.1" for the event--not bad. Only 7.8" for the month though but you're right, let's see what the weekend brings!

    The Rain Shield™ opened up just enough for .42" to sneak in. Temp down to 75 as well. Some lovely distant thunder and lightning are adding to the evening's ambiance. Good little storm, that.
  5. CoolHandMike
    So close... Sky looks fantastic and it's blowing up... Garage&beer time, perhaps? I'ma go sit out there for a bit and see.

    Just look at all the different "tracks". Maybe mostly pointing north-ish? I guess whatever algorithm is used to determine likely storm tracks is just as confused as I am.
  7. CoolHandMike
    Maybe. At least we're under some cloud cover and the temp has dropped to the mid 80's. Isn't this like the third time this year we've had these incredibly hard to track/predict, nearly stationary storms? I don't recall seeing it like this too often in the past. Watching the radar loop it just looks unreal.

    I'm located at the red dot.

    UNBELIVEABLE. First I get fringed to within a mile south, and now I'm getting fringed to within a mile NORTH. Reading Rain Shield™ in full effect!

    Dang. Called it. PECO outage map centered on Caln. Stay safe everybody.
  11. CoolHandMike
    Yup I'm just north of that. In the clear part west of the L in Laureldale.

    Still roasting in bright sunshine and high humidity. Went out at lunch and bought a fancy-pants new leaf blower, came home and put it on the charger. Then I went outside and within 10 minutes of simply WALKING AROUND my yard with my shiny-new, giant cordless lawn hair-dryer, I am soaked for the second time today. I'm gonna run out of clean clothes at this rate! As for rain, I can kinda-sorta see some threatening-looking cells over the horizon.

    See if you can spot when the clouds broke over me...

    I used to live right under the heaviest part of that precip in Thorndale. I can't imagine they still have power at the moment...

    So that was a whole lotta nothin last night, but dang if it isn't moist AF outside right now. Sitting here contemplating just how early I can start mowing without pissing off the neighbors all that much... Probably best to wait until the sun comes up at least.

    The Reading Rain Shield™ will be tested tonight....

    Survived the week. (I work 4 tens and then have a 3-day weekend when I'm in the field.) Really need to mow but decided I can put it off until tomorrow morning... On one hand, we could use some rain and all these storms popping up appear to be huge, relatively stationary rainmakers, but OTOH, that will make mowing soaked grass in the morning pretty miserable. I just know I'm done being outside in 90° heat for now. Looks like my high was 95.7° at the house today. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
  18. CoolHandMike
    Hit 96.4°F IMBY today, which is the hottest yet in August. Only one day in July topped it with 96.9°F on 7/6. Although I'd say the heat index was higher today with a recorded high DP of 76.4°F vs 75°F for 7/6. Either way you slice it, I'm moving to Nunavut at the earliest opportunity.

    Rain shield seems to be finally crashing south. The Reading Rain Shield can only hold for so long! Wait, that sounds weird. Eh, whatever.
  20. CoolHandMike
    Finally raining albeit very slightly at the moment. Asphalt and sidewalk are wet.
  21. CoolHandMike
    We shall see. The Reading Rain Shield is holding the line at the moment.
  22. CoolHandMike
    I wish some of those storms forming JUST to my south and west would form over us for just a little bit. We're still under a tenth of an inch from this whole thing.
  23. CoolHandMike
    Not gonna argue with you there.
  24. CoolHandMike
    Interesting! But... why?
  25. CoolHandMike
    Finally getting some rain. Will be interesting to see if those bands over NJ make it this far inland.
