Like Tim mentioned, its still 4 degrees above average for the month at MDT.  Its just a lot of variety.  

I haven’t mined this summer so far ( I guess unofficial so far).  Last year was far worse with lack of moisture and more heat.   Super cold this morn.  Had a low of 45 at course

It's not good for a company that thrives on people buying ice cream and iced tea. We NEED hot weather. (even if I grouse a bit) 

Your post reminds me of a interesting "fact".  Eating regular ice cream makes your body warmer due to the fat content.  So you could sell to people on warm or cool days.  LOL.

This is why I'm an advocate for 33 degree beer

We’ll pay for this when it’s 85 for 3/4 of October. 

I’m not kidding. I think it happens. 

I have suspicion you could be right.

am i correct that it Looks like the rain moves in overnight tonight, then clear early tomorrow? 

is Sunday still looking like sunny, high 80s?

As you know I forecast using models as much as anything else but the GFS, Nam, and CMC all have rain around the LSV area starting overnight and on and off through the day tomorrow.  Looking at their forecasts it may clear and then cloud up and rain again Sat Afternoon.   Sunday is a bit of a question mark as well but looks a bit better than Sat right now. Highs in the mid 80's on Sunday.  Euro looks drier than the others for Sat with rain coming overnight Sat night and risky for light rain Sunday.

Rain supported.

Are any of the models more reliable than others right now? If I’m remembering correctly, last summer the Euro was more consistently accurate with the heat while other models were undershooting by a few to several degrees. 

(I know it’s all just guidance and I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but I’m really rooting for some rain here.)

Beautiful morning in York county — 63 and clear skies at 7:23 am.

In my opinion, the American models are usually 2-5 degrees too cool on the really hot days (though sometimes its hard to see their actual forecast since some only show maps in 3-6 hour jumps).    But the other way around, the Euro is too warm when it over does a slightly or moderately warm forecast.... especially at night.

CTP only has me at 30-40% probs until early next week. They don't seem overly enthused about rain chances east of the river until later Monday into Tuesday.

But does the problem you mentioned arise here too: given that the Euro maps display in 6 hour increments, you get a 6z and a 12z. In winter the 12z is awfully close to when the low temperature would normally occur but in the summer the low temperature typically occurs closer to 9-10z.

6Z is too close to 9-10Z for it to be constantly double digits too high.  GFS 6Z temps are much closer to reality on these occasions.   But yea its not a perfect science since it is not an hourly map.

Indeed, GFS seems to handle radiational cooling a lot better than the EC.
