Had a couple brief showers roll through while swimming at my parent’s place out near Red Lion, York County. Sure enough, not a drop here back home all day, bone dry. 

Got .02" here at 6:15pm.

Yes, the storms fizzled out on their approach to MDT today.

Well that puts a dent in MDT’s shot at being the 3rd wettest month in history.

One of the last times I opened my windows was back in June on a night when it got down to 45 and I woke up with a cold so bad I got covid tested just in case (yes, I know, the two were unrelated).

Yeah it's a risk.  Need a middle ground temp.  Though I sleep better sometimes when it is really cold in the room.

Met had precip overhead for quite a while today.  Surprised if they do not record a T.  An S is not good enough.

I talked at length about how my wife doesn’t let me run the a/c in May, so you can imagine it’s not exactly set at 68 during the summer.

There just wasn't a lot of padding.

And part of me says, well 54 (the verbatim temperature at MDT on that panel) isn’t that cold, but it’s actually colder than it is at PIT that morning, and although 54 in July has been reached 91 times in MDT’s history, it hasn’t happened in 20 years.

If it was I would ask you for a loan.  Lol.  I just had to talk my wife out of a window unit in the bedroom.  We settled on a portable unit so I still have half my window with the exhaust fan covering the other half.

Man that is impressive stats for after 10pm.  If mdt is 54 most of us LSV folks are in the 40's.

(But we know MDT won’t be 54.) The rest of the area would be 54 and MDT would be 62.

But yeah, that xmACIS site is incredible at how easily you can pull that info.

I was able to open the windows over the 4th of July weekend for a couple of days.

A lesser heat/nice night delight of a run this AM.    Still dry this way unfortunately.   EC had enough of being agreeable and broke away already.

Furthermore, the CMC and EC now disagree on that beauty of a weekend.

I noticed that and edited the post.  Almost feels more normal for it to be this way vs. all agreeing.

It sure does. So now it’s back to the normal mode of rooting for the GFS and firing the EC like Jason Garrett after an 8-8 season.

If we have to wait to fire Jason Garrett because of mediocre seasons, we are stuck with the EC for quite a few more years.

So NWS has me mostly sunny today.  They went the easy way out....can of corn.  Still think some showers/few cells develop in southern half of the state.

This is the time of year when I start getting tired of walking outside and having my glasses completely fog over immediately. I'm ready for a break. 

I was surprised this morning when this happened. It actually felt more humid to me this morning than it did yesterday. 

[mahantango#1]

It was 66 this morning and a thick fog rolled in. Now up to 71 fog slowly burning off.

Look's like DP's could drop 10-15 by end of day (then go back up again).

Good. That's what I was expecting was going to happen overnight. Perhaps my early evening river walk will be quite pleasant.

The 3 H type of day!

With emissions improvements and whatever else, we don't get the "Hazy" part of the trio like we used to. Even on our exceptionally hot and humid days, the sky is still blue. Back in the 70s and 80s the sky would be a milky white, and in the early evening the sun would often be filtered in the western sky. Just doesn't have that vibe anymore.

Whatever else could also be the people still WFH which is substantial in urban areas.
