Speaking of thunderstorms is anyone familiar enough with these tents all over the area, in NYC and around here, going up due to Covid and their ability to withstand a storm with strong downdrafts and high winds? When I see those things the first thing I think is that I would not want to be in one when a storm hits.

We do chilly and damp well around here.

Looks like the clouds moved in over your way as well. We dropped form 64 to 58 in a matter of 45 min after the cloud cover rolled in.

Looks like Adams and York County will be the "winners" today. Several readings in the 70's. Even @Cashtown_Coop is 66 over there in the North Pole of the LSV.

GFS has a a cold front pressing in Easter but temps are a bit marginal.

It does feel nice out with even with the wind...but getting so rare to see a temp bust low. I guess it may have for some east of the mountains yesterday.

Did not even make it to lunch and already above our forecast highs for the day. Saw York is at theirs already as well. Modeled temps continue to be off quite a bit.

You are a coldinista with temps. LOL. Anything under 60 is chilly if the wind is blowing. We did walk about two miles ourselves this afternoon so after coming into the weekend with a terrible weather forecast it did not turn out too bad. We ended up with only .65" of rain all together. Those heavy bands many here got yesterday went north of me.

I am actually glad we broke out in sun here. Grass is mowed, temps are great and the upcoming week looks quite chilly for April standards so needed a nice day like this. Feel bad for the folks east of me.

The LSV fog/cloud trap.

The radar looks pitiful. It's 71 here now and cannot see any clouds to the west. Did see the zone forecast just south of me says snow Wed AM!

I see a Wunderground report of 49 on the Adams/Franklin County line. We have spiked to 68 so it looks likely to make it. Low 80's in Western PA right now. That same phenomenon I reported a few months ago, where going about a thousand feet/one mile up into Cascade area turns into dense fog, is happening again. Its pretty cool. Clouds/fog hold at the top at the ridge then dissipate once you start down the west side.

We are at 66 here. Sun has been out for about 2 hours. Not sure if we make it or not. Add the Sat Pic. Punch of dry air coming up west of the South Mountain Range. Its yard mowing time!

Anyone hitting 70 today? If we get sun it will be a slam dunk here but the sun part is in question.

I was going to say aren't highs around 20 just stories our grandparents tell?

I am glad since it is not snow. Looks like Northeastern part of PA will be in steady rain a lot longer. Showers for us. I wish the sun would come out. Dreary weekends are especially depressing now.

Looks like the LSV may be "not as rainy" for the afternoon...a chance for a walk or drive or something to get out.

A mean April Fools joke for Philly.

Wow. So many records this year. The snowfall total record is going to be hard pressed to be overtaken. When will we have a winter with less than 6" of snow again (MDT)? If not for Covid it would be bigger news but obviously not that important big picture.

I am definitely concerned about the (possibly fleeting?) hope the Prez. News Conferences try to give. To me it would be more prudent to not scare but at least keep it serious and stop talking about opening the economy as a way to try and prop up the stock market.

I think the guidance to spend some time away from the older population is the best thing to do now and probably for the next few months. That is a scary story.

Thoughts with her. Why can she not get into a hospital? Is she in NY?

Yes, though it does seem to change every day so its hard to predict out beyond a week. As I edited my last post I found the Twitter account of the guy she quoted and she was off some on how she stated it. A lot of that going around. But seems he is saying if the UK stays with social distancing for a while it will be the lower number if interpreted correctly. If they had not gone with social distancing, which they were not going to, it would have been 500K.

Just hope she is right. Apparently the info she stated was misinterpreted by her so I am worried. "Apparently" the person that made that model came out after her speech and said she misunderstood and is still calling for 500K deaths in the UK but a look online does not show that statement so not sure what to believe. I can say one thing. This is the election for Trump as he continues down this "Open the Country" path. The news out of NY and LA is not good but he could be right that it is just going to be hot spots but if he is wrong the nation is about to get to hell and his chances of election will go with it. Edit-I think any of the apocalyptic totals will be shown to be over done. It's similar to all of us looking at the highest snow total and thin king "It could happen". I am surprised there has been so much talk of these models through the whole pandemic. I did find the guy who did the model and his explanation is that the 500K was with no social distancing. If the UK stays with the social distancing plan (I think it is though much of April but not sure) then it would be the lower number.
