Today felt like January. Even though my temperature stayed at 38-39 that wind at times made it feel cold. I know my wife was coming home off 81 at the Hegins exit the temperature on her car showed 33 at the exit.

81 was my high yesterday ,exceeded my expectations.

It's been a wet March here. Wonder if I can exceed 6 inches for March? 0.85 in Event 0.85 in Week 5.78 in Month 7.63 in Year

There was a lot of hail with that one. Pictures and video on Facebook. That storm was on my doorstep but petered out before it got here, just got some rain from it. https://www.facebook.com/paweatherplus/posts/pfbid07E2DrsjgqnwyoajhFpzDx6xhx8KNtuj4kKqcSnogwR4sJhXSSLJoj5Z1x2JraZrxl

Sun has been out now for a half hour. We'll see if it helps destabilize the atmosphere.

Eventually the cold mongers will succumb to the heat when it finally moves east...when ever that will be. Here's to highs in the mid 90's and mid 70 dewpoints.

.31 rain last evening. Monthly total for March so far 4.94

Got up to 64 here today, wasn't expecting that...but I'll take it.

I guess we'll see what happens in the next 2 months, if we get above normal rainfall or continued drought conditions.

Drought update: I have received 4.63 precipitation so far this month and 6.47 for the year. Andrea Michaels FOX43 DROUGHT IMPROVEMENTS A little good news for parts of the state! This morning, the weekly Drought Monitor Update was released, and there are some improvements. The most notable change was in South Central PA, where much of Mifflin, Juniata, and Perry counties saw improvement, along with portions of Dauphin and Lebanon counties. They went from D1 (Moderate Drought) to D0 (Abnormally Dry). The far eastern Lehigh Valley saw spottier improvements, going from a D2 (Severe Drought) to D1. Hopefully more rain will keep it coming!
