There were teenagers at my neighbors pavilion who decided to get in the creek yesterday afternoon. I could see and hear them shivering from the cold water. Needless to say in about 5 min they got out of the water. So I say it's too cold for swimming yet.

I remember back in the early 90's we went camping up in Sullivan County Memorial weekend. We left our place on Friday with temps around 90. A cold front came through on Saturday. We weren't prepared for that cold front. We had the summer clothes for camping. Temps only made it in to the low 60's Saturday. We had to go to yard sales to get warmer clothes. Then the water hose to our popup camper froze Saturday night. I think the temp. got down to 28 at Almost Heaven Campground where we were staying at. Thats one camping trip i'd like to forget with that cold outcome.

More doom and gloom on the horizon. .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... -- Changed Discussion -- A similar pattern to what we had this past week will develop again by Wednesday, with another round of cooler and damp weather. Models highlight another phasing/amplifying upper trough developing over eastern Canada and the Great Lakes, and digging southeastward into the Ohio Valley and the Mid Atlantic region for the mid to late week. So, it appears our relatively cool and damp pattern will continue into the end of May, with no signs of true summerlike weather on the horizon through the beginning of meteorological summer on June 1.

40 this morning.

It felt like March yesterday afternoon. I got cold mowing grass.

.06 rain yesterday.

My low also was 41 at some point overnight.

Next weekend will mark the 40th anniversary of the largest tornado outbreak in Pennsylvania recorded history. Jon Nese takes a look at on this week's edition of Weather Whys:

.86 for the event.

I remember back in the late 80s .Harrisburg recorded rain 22 days in May. That was also the time that spring that I fertilized my lawn and my mower blew a head gasket. So I was sol on mowing when it wasn't raining. By the time I got the mower fixed I was making hay, the grass was so tall and thick.

.38 rain so far, glad there wasn't more.

Yes it looks depressing next week...again! LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... If you squint really hard at the upper air charts for Sunday, you might be able to convince yourself that upper level flow is becoming slightly less trough-y, but that`s probably just wishful thinking. We are growing less optimistic to see any marked improvement before Monday. The recent blocking pattern has proven to be rather persistent and in no hurry to unravel. The cyclonic flow and cool temps aloft should translate into a good deal of cloud cover with POPs peaking during the afternoon hours coincident with diurnal heating. Precip probs should bottom on Monday before ramping higher into Tuesday-Wednesday. Models are coming into better agreement in tracking the southern stream wave farther to the north. There are even signs that the briefly split-stream flow will try to close off into another upper low in the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region by the middle of next week. So it appears the cool and wet pattern will continue into the end of the month with no signs of summer weather on the horizon (meteorological summer begins on June 1).

NWS mentioned in their discussions that another closed low looks increasingly likely the middle of next week. I'm so over this weather pattern.

.07 today. More to come.

Seems like NWS knocked down rainfall. I hope that stays. But NWS also says there could still be heavy rain that could cause small stream flooding. I don't need that heavy rain. And I hope rainfall only totals around an inch or less. I don't need water setting in my garden again.

more rain that I don't need. Wish it would not rain for a week.

39 this morning.

Your 100% right on that!

JB thinks around June 10th or so the rubberband could possibly snap. Then the heat will come along with those nighttime thunderstorms coming over the top of the ring of fire. So I guess we'll see what happens. Forecasts always change. Also JB is thinking early Tropical development in the Gulf in early June and possibly coming north along the east coast. I hope not.
