Yardstickgozinya Posted Tuesday at 02:10 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:10 AM We had more than enough cape around today to spark off storms and still do. Looks like an inversion problem to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM The humidity surge didn’t win out quick enough so no clearing around here. Almost like a negative CAD event to me. I am more disappointed in the total lack of rain. I never expected severe here today but thought we’d get at least .25”. Depressing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the NWS very well could be smoking crack. I'm going to keep my hope alive because we do really need the rain . Maybe us local guys need to get together for a powwow and rain dance. I'll bring the brownies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhead mixing means nothing with no cape and no trigger. Ans chances of ashore overnight is slim at best. Water restrictions coming soon to some municipalities. No doubt. Previous deficits, coupled with the lack of current rainfall, should pop them at some point. I know this is out of our forum, but once you get over the Blue Mountain into northern Lehigh County, there are some serious brown lawns, and the Jordan Creek in the New Tripoli area is about as low as I've ever seen it. Somehow, up here, we've done a little better, and have been a bit wetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Low of 69 and a disappointing .13” of total rainfall. Things just weren’t nearly stratiform enough yesterday and what did pop managed to miss me. Perhaps we get lucky today. Onward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlegel Fruit Farm tdsroSnoepaht91c51h11a6c1glt138l401336a27m8l38cth41gf0c0463g · A Message from the Orchard On the morning of April 20, our orchard was hit by a severe spring freeze during a critical stage of bloom and fruit development. Temperatures fell to damaging levels for several hours, resulting in one of the most significant freeze events our orchard has experienced in recent years. We know many of you have been wondering how the crop fared and why we have not provided an update until now. The simple answer is that we didn’t know. Freeze damage is not always immediately apparent, and fruit trees can continue to shed damaged fruit for weeks after an event like this. We felt it was important to wait until we had a clearer picture of what survived before sharing information with our customers. We were also hoping for a better outcome. As the weeks passed, we continued to find additional losses and watched fruit that initially appeared healthy fail to develop. While we knew early on that the freeze had caused damage, the full extent of the losses took time to become clear. Based on what we are seeing today, we expect: • Cherries: complete crop loss • Peaches: approximately 10% of a normal crop • Plums: approximately 10% of a normal crop • Pears: approximately 20% of a normal crop • Apples: approximately 65% of a normal crop We are thankful to still have an apple crop, but many varieties will be in shorter supply than usual, and some fruits may be unavailable or available only briefly this season. This is not the update we hoped to share. Like every grower, we invest a tremendous amount of time, work, and optimism into each crop long before the first fruit is harvested. Seeing so much of it lost to a single night of weather is difficult. Even so, farming has always required resilience, and our focus now is on caring for the crop that remains and making the most of this season. We are deeply grateful for the support our customers have shown our family and our orchard over the years. Your encouragement and loyalty mean more than ever in seasons like this. We look forward to serving you this year as always will continue to share updates as harvest approaches.

mahantango#1 Posted Tuesday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:05 PM MESSAGE 2: Increasing heat risk to end June and start July A major pattern change over the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West this weekend will likely result in a downstream upper ridge developing over the eastern U.S. by early next week. Blended ensemble guidance driving the prototype probabilistic heatrisk is confirming the signal for a building to potentially prolonged heatwave to end June and start July. CPC has placed a 20-40% slight risk of extreme heat over CPA from 6/30-7/6 with higher chances in the 40-60% range in southeast PA. High humidity and temperatures (highs in the 90s with heat index values possibly reaching 100F) will greatly increase the risk of heat-related illness.
