Itstrainingtime

Just .03" of rain overnight. Current temp is 59. Some fog on my way to work as well.

Apparently he's smarter than those who make these determinations for a living.

I thought that didn't need to be explained. I mean, if we had 45" of rain through the end of June and not a drop thereafter, all talk would be about the epic drought ongoing...but we would be AN for the year.

Made it to 80.3! That's a 34 degree swing today. With the SW breeze going in advance of tonight's front it's a much milder evening than yesterday. Currently 71.

I really wish SC wouldn't have lost yesterday.

This is very true.

I sure do love my Nittany Lions. Not sure they're #4 in the nation though.

77 yesterday afternoon, 46 this morning. Impressive, especially without the benefit of a frontal passage.

Great thing about this time of year - 6:20pm and it's already down to 66.

High today was 77. Going to be a great evening for a campfire.

Nope, Bubbler did indeed post it in our thread yesterday. In fact, it's on the same page as the one that I posted from Accu Chris.

Oh, I'm sorry. I missed it. I have not been on much at all this week. I should have looked.

Saw a model output in the tropical thread depicting 2 feet of rainfall in south-central Florida next week: Edit: it was a GFS output posted by our very own @AccuChris

Thank you for mentioning this. I thought the entire pendulum shifted right back to KC after that pitch. We had them on their heels, that is the time to go into attack mode. Sure, at 2-0 it has to be a perfect (hitter's) pitch to swing at...and it was. My entire disposition changed when he took that pitch. I went from feeling very hopeful to feeling like we just left them off the hook. He had to swing there. Had to.

I'll be looking for you in the fan pit on Fox Big Noon Kickoff. I want to see you right behind Urban...

My grass might be longer than it's ever been before. That will be rectified later today.

Had a nice bright, sun-filled drive to the office this morning. At least locally the cloud deck is parting fairly quickly.

The new day dawned with blue skies and sunshine streaming on the horizon. On to better things.

No question about it.

Cute. What should I expect from a Phillies fan...

Looking ahead into early next week, a third and more vigorous cold front will swing through the mid-Atlantic States from northwest-to-southeast spanning Sunday night to Monday evening. One or two bands of gusty showers are anticipated along and/or in advance of the front, but rainfall amounts should be on the order of hundredths or tenths of an inch south/east of the Allegheny front. Depending on the speed of the front, showers may already be east of the I-95 corridor by the Monday morning commute. In the wake of the front, gusty, northwesterly winds of 12-25 mph will usher cooler and much drier air into the Commonwealth. Dewpoints will likely be in the 40s by Monday afternoon and remain there through at least Wednesday, and high temperatures should be near or a few degrees below the 70-degree mark on Monday and Tuesday. A large, Canadian high pressure system will settle over the central Appalachians and mid-Atlantic States during the middle of next week and promote mostly sunny skies and light winds. As a result, efficient, radiational cooling will take place after sunset, and lows on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights could plunge into the 40s. I don't anticipate any early-season frost concerns, but this air mass will give us a true taste of autumn. Winds should ultimately turn west-to-southwesterly late next week on the backside of the aforementioned high pressure system, so a return of 70- to 80-degree warmth is a "good bet" next Thursday and Friday. As a whole, the weather pattern will turn drier and more pleasant from this weekend through mid-October. In aggregate, I still expect rainfall to end up below average and temperatures to be slightly above normal this month. Let's see how that forecast holds up! -- Elliott

Their big off-season acquisition did exactly what they got him for. Crying shame to take an L after 8+ innings of 1 run baseball. The offense is undisciplined and sorely lacking in situational hitting.

All dry here at work and the sun is peeking through the clouds.

Hall of Famer on the field. Not a Roberto Clemente award contender. As a diehard baseball fan I'm honestly embarrassed Pete Rose is not in the HOF. Travesty is right.

Braves up 3-0 in the 8th? Eh no sweat...Mets hang a 6 spot to go up 6-3. Demoralizing for the Braves...eh, they come back and hang a 4 spot in the bottom of the 8th. 7-6 Atlanta. Surely, the Mets are crushed...eh, Lindor hits a 2-run jack in the 9th, 8-7 Metropolitans. Diaz somehow navigates the bottom of the 9th, Mets are officially in. Braves must win game 2 or it'll be New York and Arizona who advance today.
