Temperatures across the area have dropped into the 40's after a midnight high in the low 50's. Today will be breezy and raw with rain increasing as we move through the afternoon and especially tonight. Most of the steadiest rain should exit Chester County to the east by later tomorrow morning. Most areas should see around an inch of rain by tomorrow afternoon. Some showers will continue on Monday begore we finally dry out on Tuesday. We briefly warm up to above normal temperatures by Wednesday before we trend back to below normal temperatures by the end of the week and into next weekend.

At 10:00am here in Carlisle, the temperature is 48.7 degrees.  The low occurred 2 hours ago at 48.0.  Light rain is falling at the moment.  Since midnight I have recorded 0.90" of precipitation.  Yesterday I recorded 0.25" for a 2-day total of 1.15".  My high temperature (like most others) occurred at midnight and was 53.1 degrees.

Of note, my high temperatures during the "heat wave" just a few days ago was 88.5 on the 17th, 96.4 on the 18th, 93.6 on the 19th, and I'll throw in 87.6 on the 20th.  The heat (in my house) is back on again...lol.

What an awful day. Currently 45 degrees on May 23rd. Colder than quite a few January rainstorms over years.

Disgusting...

[Voyager]

Even worse up on the I-81 ridge top.

51 with some drizzle here. 0.64" so far, 3-day total is now at 1.44". Radar is uninspiring here in the LSV. Not a lot coming at us from MD/VA. Nonetheless, just got home from running some errands and it feels incredible outside.

47 degrees and windy. .35” of rain

Coal stove feels nice this morning.

My AC hasn't run since yesterday afternoon and of course no heat but my indoor temp is holding firm at 65. With it warming up a bit tomorrow I should easily stay in the 60s.

Yeah there’s not a chance I’m running heat on Memorial Day weekend haha. House is at 66 and feels great.

I can't believe we're at what is normally peak heating on May 23rd and sitting at 50 degrees. Incredible.

Sitting at 42 degrees all day here with moderate rain. My house dropped into the 50s early this am. Had to kick heat on temporarily lol. .40 of rain so far.

[pawatch]

47 degrees and 1.15” of rain.

I’m happy with my 70 degree heat today.

Some serious nasty weather. Next up, the river will be running pretty high. Which will put a hold on fishing.

Been a really inconsistent spring.
