Rain on the doorstep

69 at 130 pm

Re: lantern flies They're migrating west and all over Pittsburgh I've heard. We've seen 2 or 3 this year, that's it. We noticed last year spiders and bees were attacking them, which we hadn't seen previously. My theory is they have a short lifespan like a cicada and other bugs took a few years to realize they're yummy and not deadly. Once they figured it out, the lantern flies have no counterattack function so they were sitting, well, flies. Edit: Year, not night. Bugs were swarming the lantern flies last year

Saturday looks windier than Sunday now. Lots of 30-35 knot winds across PA.

Not sure what it means but I just saw a huge group - like at least 15 - of black wooly bear caterpillars scurrying.

This is a G-rated site, sir.

Last year down here was about as good as I've seen it.

42 was my low. Color I don't think will be as good as last year, but we'll know in a week or so.

64 was my high.

Full sun and 64 at 12:45

Looking ahead - a real nice run of days. A tiny bit of rain early Saturday am but then nice all day. Sunday will be windy - into the 30s and maybe 40. CTP then says this: All medium range guidance supports fair and chilly weather early next week, as Canadian high pressure builds southeast into PA. This looks like the coldest airmass so far this season with the first real threat for sub-freezing temps and widespread frost. The coldest morning should be Tuesday, as the surface high settles over the state.

Burning crosses don’t keep you warm that long.

Light but indeed

Going to be a 20-13 type game I think.

Had mostly sun all day - it def warmed up. Wind was calm too which wasn’t forecast.

1.3” for me. I’ll take my crow slow-smoked over Mesquite.

Some nice rates just to the south. Looks like you guys get the good for hours.

.7” for me.

I get on a plane that morning. No thanks!

Penn State game looks like it’ll be dry after all.

I thought it would be more tomorrow late morning but maybe it’s early now.

You’ve had all the good rates today - mostly stayed SE of the river. If this happens in winter I am going to destroy your mailbox.

Yea steady mod rain here now.

Was wrong about the rain being delayed. Started around 6 am. About .15” so far at 11 am.

Haha maybe. I just think we get a late start and lighter rates.
