We have 87 with 44% humidity in Media, Delaware County. There is a lot more sun right now than at any point yesterday so ample heating going on at the moment. Also, the sky is finally blue the smoke is gone for now.

I appreciate what you said, "Our Ray gets a couple of featured quotes", It's the men and women of the NWS that are the true forecasters that keep us informed and safe!

So what is it? It was it wasn't? Channel 10 last night at 11 said it was a confirmed tornado in New London Chester County while the other storms in Berks and Lehigh Counties were funnel clouds. Something here smells of ratings and patting of backs instead of truthful forecasting. The lack of truthful forecasting and that of ratings first is what has caused me not to pursue a career in Meteorology even though I know I have the passion and knowledge to do so. I will be dammed if I am forecasting, and others tell me what to say instead of what is truly happening. Okay I am off my rant now.

Umm I don't disagree with your ideas about the wild fires it appears to be blocking out the sun keeping it cooler albeit smokey. However, I think we barely had any snow less than 5" back in 2002 down here in SE PA if I recall correctly.

Total rainfall here in Media exactly 3" from last night. Had a tree come down because of the winds last night and shear weight of the water on the tree.

Moderate Rain here in Media 1.75" total for the night so far another round looks poised to come through. We are over 8" for the month of June I believe possibly a bit higher. In May we had 0.04" total for the month just wow!

Wish I could check the rain gauge torrential here since 10:25 pm. The lightning is just too dangerous to go out. Seeing 16 thousand plus without power most in Delaware County. I am understanding that Springfield Delaware County was hit especially hard but it was pretty bad here in Media as well.

warzone!

Looks like two more rounds coming up from the SW towards Media lightning is insane here all directions like a war. Gotta be a mesoscale low with this.

I am going to check the gauge. I was at .50" before that batch cannot go out yet the lightning is really off the charts. We had winds past 45 mph here blowing from the west as the storm was pushing through at its peak not sure how I didn't lose a tree or two.

That activity coming out of New Castle County NE Maryland Heading right for Delaware County that would be serious flooding if it holds together. Kamu Country and Media get ready.

Amazing when was the last time we had a summer month June, July, or August below normal? It's been a long time! I would think.

Thunderstorm just wrapped up here in Media picked up .50" I would not even call those storms strong just garden variety really. We picked up .50" in 30 minutes. Weird thing was the dewpoint at the storm approached went from 69 to 59 in like 15 minutes before the first drops of rain came. currently 70 dewpoint 62

Gotta be affecting temps in blocking out sun I would think.

Media Delaware County a passing sprinkle otherwise cloudy sun shining through high clouds mainly cloudy though 83 degrees humidity 56% pressure 29.65 falling winds SW 15-25. We are all capped here nothing developing down this way pretty stable overcast.

Media Delaware County today high 85 dewpoint went from 73 to currently 61 right now. We picked up a trace of rain today thunder to the east, west, southwest, and northwest came to nothing here.

Media Delaware County was sitting under the heavy stuff picked up an inch of rain in about 35 minutes.

Cloudy very humid zero wind trees are leaning, and any split branches or trees may come down here. 1.25' of rain today.

Light Rain now not really enough to wet the ground yet 66 62% humidity dewpoint 53 wind gusted to 32 not too long ago from the ENE.

Media Delaware County just started a few drops too here windy ENE 16 gusting to 27 Cloudy temp 66 humidty 63% dewpoint 53

Perfect illustration this is exactly it!!

It's not surprising if we are truly heading into an El Nino set up because the area where Brett is heading is typically a shear shred zone during El Ninos. Looks to me the last of the La Nina pattern in regard to hurricane development is still hanging on off the Coast of Africa along with abnormally warm waters has the MDR season starting early.

This week's Rain in Media Delaware County: Monday 3.10" Heavy Rain T storms Wednesday 0.35" quick moving T Storms Friday 1.30" Strong Thunderstorms Isolated Tornadoes in the area (No Damage or Loss of Power) Weekly Total: 4.75"

Media Delaware County 3.10" total from today most of all of it coming in 3.5 hours.

I am sure the cut off upper-level low that usually comes on Memorial Day weekend will show up and wash out Sunday and Monday this upcoming weekend.
