I can’t wait to see the next drought monitor map…

It has to have changed. I'm sitting at 9.69" for the month so far. Next weeks forecast that I showed above is just depressing. I just watched WNEP's Joe Snedeker, as the wife has it on in the morning when she's getting ready for work, and he showed the map with the trough and ULL feature....again. 

When will it end? Will it EVER end?????

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).

39 degrees this morning here in the Poconos, with showers. Is it October or late May? I actually had to turn the heat on last night as my house was 58 degrees. Something I rarely do this late into the year. Ridiculous lol. The days and days of rain is downright depressing at this point.

[Blizzard of 93]

.66 of rain for the event so far with light rain continuing in Marysville.

[mahantango#1]

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

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Low of 49 with .57” of rainfall. Let’s see if MDT can set a record by staying below 54 all day. 

[Festus]

Just missed the Millersville record low maximum temperature yesterday.  Record was 56, was 57 just after midnight.

Today's record low max is a relatively balmy 60.  Should have no problem breaking that one, unfortunately.

I think Williams Grove has rained out all but one of their weekly Friday shows. 

 

Edit: Eight of 11 events have been washed out.

1.03" here with light rain falling.

Up to .7” for the event. Most all of that fell  last night.

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.

I believe that the above map does not take into account rainfall since Tuesday. Each week on Thursday, a new Drought Monitor is released effective the Tuesday prior to the release. Should be further improvements in some areas next week.

My own personal record for days in a month recording measurable precip is 21, done twice, in May of 2019 and March 2020.  My fewest is 3 in November of 2023.

9.40" and counting

Of course the vaunted euro which had next weeks storm suppressed south is going to be wrong

Mrs Canderson hinted she wants the heat turned back on 

[Voyager]

Just cracked the ten inch mark for the month of May.

10.03" to be exact as of 1:10pm on 5/22.
