Voyager

Twenty past noon and 86 in my backyard. Might seriously make a run at the first 90 of the summer season today.

Did a Dunkin run since the wife is off today. Noticed a brown haze, especially towards the southern horizon. Might have been my imagination, but I could swear the air has a slight smoke smell as well.

Same here...

So my May monthly rain total ended up being.... 12.99" One one hundredth of an inch short of 13.

I was wondering that myself. A muted sun usually does lower the temps a bit.

Started new summer thread...

Will we have one? Discuss...

It better not be....

Interesting about the wind observations. It's nearly dead calm where I'm at, and I'm at a restaurant out in the open suburbs south of Tamaqua.

I really hate to be a Debbie Downer, but... Thursday A chance of showers after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 87. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Thursday Night A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 67. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Friday Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 82. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Friday Night Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 63. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Saturday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 77. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Got the baker's dozen... 13.01" so far.

Someone got a video of Canderson setting up a pool in his backyard... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ABoYjj8Ar/

Talk about getting lucky....no, not that way... We got about an hour of broken clouds/sunshine, which dried out the lawn, so I decided to try and get a mowing and edging done. No sooner (mere seconds) did I finish cleaning up with the blower when a heavy squall blew in.

I need 0.26" more before midnight to get to 13 inches for the month. Crazy stuff...

Not that it can't happen, either. Hurricane Agnes in 1972 comes to mind...

Nice. You did better than I did for this event so far. As for the monthly total, I'm headed towards a baker's dozen.

Just noticed, too, that I'm in a flood warning until 6:15am. ...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 615 AM EDT THIS MORNING... * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. * WHERE...A portion of central Pennsylvania, including the following counties, Columbia, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill and Sullivan. * WHEN...Until 615 AM EDT. * IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring.

Delayed, but not denied. 1.62" as of my 5:30am wake up.

Another slow mover. Rain JUST started here now.

Sounds like a January snowstorm report.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the current and future radar loop, it looks like the heaviest rain will fall north of the flood watch zone.

Yikes. Still, the weather geek in me wishes that threat was up to I-80 instead of US-30. I've got the video cameras out, so it would make an interesting finish to my work night and video

Working, so not much chance to hunt it down. Cliff notes, or a link?

I found one awhile back, but I forgot to bookmark it, so I don't remember what site it was from.

Me neither, hence my earlier post.
