.58 here in York and radar still looks good.

Yea I called that way too early. To my credit last night the line was falling apart rapidly. I’m at .28”.

Nasty day so far. Rainy, raw, and of course...windy.

The rain is needed, so is cooler weather.  This isn't July.

The front looks like it stalled out a bit. A few more hours of rain look likely per the current radar.

Good beneficial rain.

Yes, the rain is needed, but not the windy 40's. This isn't early March, either. Upper 50's to low 60's would be plenty comfortable.

Actually, the cold will slow down some of the rampant warming of local waterways we've had.  The creek at my school is waaaay warmer than it should be because the leaves are not out yet to create shade.  It needs to cool down.

Rain has changed to snow here in the Poconos. Temp is slowly dropping and down to 34 here this am.

We've had such an above normal april that when comparing to other years like it when stands out is that may tends to be below normal in almost every case. Also the kinda of rain we need, slow soaking, long duration, usually comes with cut of lows, east winds and temperatures in the 60's during June and 50's during May
