Itstrainingtime

What a sensational weekend in August! Enjoy everyone.

The guy from Millersville that shall not be named called this morning's rain way back on Monday... There's even a chance that a wave of low pressure will develop along the front--if so, this would slow the eastward movement and, thus, extend the chance of some rain into Friday.

The grill is stoked and the meat is sizzling...it ain't ready yet but we're licking our chops in anticipation...

Had a sprinkle here on the hill. Literally...

And it will be significantly cooler by then.

We can't wait for you to get back to our area. As such, we're looking at heat indexes at or above 100 on Monday to welcome you!

Subtract 1.13 from your total and you have mine...

Thunderstorm Lucy provided a lot of lightning, some thunder, and...zero rain last night. Not a drop. Looked for hours like it was going to be a direct hit and when it literally hit the river...poof.

Well, if that's true than you better remove the "B" from you avatar and replace it with a "T". Just saying. The intern I work with is a HUGE Rangers fan. He's not overly thrilled with Globe Life Field, however. Must be nice in Texas to get a new ballpark every 25 or so years, lol

I'm working with an intern this summer in Lancaster who lives in Fort Worth. I asked him why he would come all the way to Lancaster Pa just to do an internship. His response was quick and without hesitation...it's a lot better here than Texas.

Less than a tenth of an inch here. Like...way less than a tenth...

These are looking like pretty good calls...except that all of the action looks to be well south and east of Lancaster as well!

Just hit 90 at home...with a dew point of 58.

Now if we could only get the dews up near 80 than we'll be set.

As a proud, card-carrying member of Lancaster county I hope to God you're wrong and you good folks farther N&W bask in wonderment of good storms.

Good morning lovers of severe weather...

Perfect day for baseball...

I'm sure I'll see plenty of jackets and sweatshirts at the game tonight. Saying that, it's 85 right now. As usual it's warmer than progged.

This is some serious water in Lancaster...

I appreciate your perspective...sometimes I'm guilty of assuming that people only dislike cold because they prefer the heat. I'm glad that you're in an environment that is better for your physical well being.

Honest question...are you enjoying 117 degree heat?

That might have been a blessing to miss the White Sox park...just saying. :) Probably the best thing about it is that it was the first stadium built in the new era of ballparks that weren't built like the Vet, Three Rivers, Riverfront, Busch, etc. New Comisky Park (as it was known then) opened the floodgates that saw OPCY come the following year and then many others shortly thereafter. You know, I didn't even check to see what my high was. So...I'm not sure if I hit 90 or not, lol

@canderson @sauss06 those are both terrific lists and I'm glad to see Kauffman get some love. I think it's the most underrated park in the bigs. I also really like Dodger Stadium but I don't always feel the safest there...

East Pennsboro? First game is today, correct?

Not sure what's happened over the years in Wrigleyville. First time I was there was before they had lights...games would sometimes be suspended due to darkness which was obviously very unique for a major league venue. After the lights came in '89 it's been pretty much a nonstop expansion of scoreboards, rooftop seating sections and other things that have dramatically changed the wind pattern, number of homers, and scoring in general. One game I was at in the late 80s it was 11-7 Cubbies...after the 2nd inning. Ryne Sandberg was 3-3 with 2 bombs and 8 RBI's as the game went to the 3rd inning. Shoot the Phillies played a 23-22 game and an 18-16 game out there within a couple of years of each other. Still a great place to visit but it's lost some of that uniqueness over time. What are things like up your way now? I've had enough rain consistently that everything is still very green...
