Central PA Summer 2020: Hoping The Heat Makes a Hasty Retreat

[MAG5035]

Full blown light to moderate drizzle currently. I think the Euro was better off when it was Dr. No (Dry), what a whiff on that in the short range.

Good batch of rain is coming for about an hour. 

It started raining as I finished typing that - solid rates have me approaching .03"!

I have rain flurries as we speak

We just passed .5" for the day which is more rain then every day combined since Isaias.  Less than 1/2" over 3.5 weeks. It feels like Christmas. Down to 59 degrees here.  That is fairly impressive.

That is great news. I'm at .05" which is perfectly okay after getting 1.4" over the weekend. My temp has been slowly falling the past couple of hours, I'm at 67.

Tomorrow all! First day.

The RWS (Rouzerville Weather Service) almost official qpf totals for Met Summer 2020 will 5.75" (pending anything extra in the next 6 hours) making it both the hottest (on average) Summer in history as well as the driest per my discussion with a local met who assists with NWS reporting in Northern MD. This comes on the heels of the lowest snow total in modern recorded history making 2020 one of rarest weather seasons ever.

The Euro has been terrible for months (not withstanding temps). It’s weird.

It has been amazing with temps especially the 90's type.

We actually had muted sunshine intermittently today...

Go for it!  We do not stand a chance of making 90 pages in here now unless a tropical storm came right up to us before 9/21.  Still mid 70's is impressive.

Done. First ever for me so I hope this will not be bad luck. :-)

Everyone else has struck out for several years in a row now if one wants snow. Moving over.

This is false! 

Outside of last year, we have been on a great run of above average seasonal snow totals at MDT going back to 2014.

Eh, I guess its the big game hunter in me but getting 40" of snow in bites of 3-6" is not a "winner" at the end of the day but I can certainly see how others would see it that way.  I have been back for two full winters now and have only had to shovel 3-4 times of which the highest was 8" .  When I said a few years I was thinking back to 2016.

Pretty gross 75 here this AM.
