Icon picks up a post Nicole SLP and throws quite a bit of rain back over the LSV into upper 30's and low 40's temps....Sat night. GFS had something similar but way east and a day or so later so no precip over the LSV
Yea, not looking for issues with Susq but something like 3" would cause local hydrology issues re, road closures and stuff. We have several creeks that would flood with 2-3" in 12-24 hrs. Here is the stream flow map. Much of the center of the state is below normal. Just west of the LSV is in minimal drought right now.
I did what I think will be my penultimate mow yesterday. The grass needed it. Deep green right now. Once we get into those forecasted teens and low 20's next week, that will put a kibosh on any more growing so probably one more Sat afternoon if it dries out enough and the temp is warm enough to get it started.
Not forecasting, just reading models on this one. Everything shows almost the entire state of PA is at risk for 2+" with many areas getting 3,4 or 5". So, 2-4" seems the safe bet right now. It is a warm, humid late/early summer like rain as well.
Today was the warmest feeling of the warm stretch. Was not as humid but the sun was just drilling down and baking until about 30-45 min ago. Seven consecutive days over 70.
It is super dry but so are you really. DP 40 here and upper 40's near you. Still in the 70's about 100 miles to our west so no crashing temps tonight but the wind no longer feels summer like.
Distinct chill in the westerly breeze now. Dropped down to 71 quite quickly. Maybe the last 70 this year? Will be close Thur and Fri. Euro sped up the weekend front. From ~70 on Sat to highs in the 40's.
Double digit miss on the zones today. Currently 80 and zone had (and still has) high of 69. HGR at 77. CXY 78, MDT Out of service....heat stroke? Hard to believe it could be in the mid 30's tomorrow AM.
