SPC says tornado watch likely for our area

KPIT is doing a special balloon launch this afternoon when the dry air moves in.

SPC expanded the Enhanced area to cover most of Western PA. If we get some sun it's game on this afternoon.

I'm ready to cut grass.

I feel a drought coming on.

We had a great plan to have comfort food this weekend and watch snow falling. One of those ain’t happening.

I feel a major screwing coming. It's still above freezing the evening before. Warmth is overperformimg.

Steelers are sucking right now so I'm going to rant about PennDOT. The state roads are still crap around here, even major intersections like 19 & 228 with packed snow that turned into glare ice. No signs they were treated. You would think they would put some grit like sand mixed in with calcium chloride on it. We saw a PennDOT truck plowing the berm at this intersection last evening with its wing plow throwing more snow back on the road than he was clearing and not treating behind. Meanwhile Township roads and streets are pretty clear. They plowed well and salted early yesterday so the sun and traffic could bust up the hard pack. The state raised our gasoline tax to the highest in the country and they still can't maintain our roads.

I'm sticking a fork in it. Not even looking at the model runs. Maybe that will change our luck. I was planning to go up to camp in Potter County next week to see some snow, now a torch and rain storm will probably wash it away before I get there.

Gee Wiz! It's 64 outside at 9:30 PM and climbing with a howling south wind...feels like a June night.
