Are you really sure you want me to do that??? lol

Another record in the books for the great summer of 2023. Tied the hottest day ever in August at 117 degrees. Tomorrow could break it.

According to my gauge, 0.71" for Tamaqua.

Someone out there understands my plight...lol

If PA looked like that year 'round, I'd never leave, but...

According to my gauge, Tamaqua got 1.10" sometime overnight.

You really can't make this shit up....

East coast, west coast, desert or wet climate, the result is the same. Wherever I am, I'll be on the wrong side of the gradient...

That would be awesome for all of us!

You'll probably get your summer in DJF, just like we'll probably be cold and wet again after the blowtorch/nonsoon of summer 2023.

Remnants of Tropical Storm Hilary this weekend. Still time to shift this east...

That's amazing. Tamaqua sits at 31.95" so far this year. Nearly double yours. Clearly a case of the haves and have nots.

Smoke from a huge recycling plant fire in Glendale last night rose so high that it developed a pyrocumulus cloud. View is from my backyard, eight miles away. Second pic was as close as I could get in a "chase" attempt.

Just don't use a job johnnie after eating Taco Bell. The results can be catastrophic...

Just listening to the radio this morning and they said it's been 138 days since it last rained at Sky Harbor Airport. So far this year's monsoon has been a nonsoon, at least in Phoenix.

Thought we were going to get a good storm out of this. Great build up, location, and trajectory, but nope. It dried up faster than a solo raindrop on a hot Phoenix sidewalk.

The monsoon is finally kicking in here in the Phoenix metro area which made for an interesting looking sky this morning at sunrise...

I'm so used to getting up between 1am and 3am on work days that I can't sleep past 5 on weekends. My body is dialed in to early wake up times.

100 now, but it dropped below at some point after midnight.

Lol...that's exactly how I do it.

Guess the temperature in Phoenix. The guest score or the player and fouls...

Wonder what would happen if I started it from out here...

Omg...too funny!!!

Wait...Canderson is going to be in Phoenix?

Looks like our monsoon will finally get started out here this weekend, particularly Sunday. Now is when the weather gets interesting in the desert, but it's harder to figure out if you're going to get slammed or not, as the monsoons most often pulse and form along outflow boundaries. Although when we get a good valley-wide meso, it's an awesome show of some of the most intense lightning, wind, and rainfall you'll ever see. One of the best I saw was when I lived in Avondale, along I-10 in the west valley. One dropped down from the north, and one came up from the southwest, and merged right over the area, and created one of the best natural "fireworks shows" I'd ever seen.
