Enjoy your day - I love Caledonia, to me it's a hidden gem. We often go to Pinchot because it's closer but I love the vibe in the Michaux state forest.  

Also, thanks for your well wishes for our trip. It's out of my control, we'll make the best of what comes our way. Interestingly, as epically wet as it was last year, we've been doing the beach gig all my life and over the years we've been blessed with phenomenal weather. Many years featured no rain, or perhaps a day where it stormed. Last year was the only true clunker that I remember, so there's that perspective, too. Sure, I want it sunny and 85 every day but that isn't likely going to happen and we'll enjoy that beautiful, fragile piece of land no matter what the weather. 

 

Thanks, it was stupendous out.   And not too crowded.  We got the table in the first area that sits right in front of the creek as it trusn around the pool so a prime spot.  It was in the shade and did not have a grill so was still free at 10:30.   I definitely like the Michaux parks a lot better than Pinchot but that is the mountain lover in me :-).

Yea, on your trip there is nothing you can do to change the weather....but I do hope the actual weather gives you a bit of a break and allows you to have some good beach time. 

Spots in the sun at a premium.  Only 54 our here right now at caldadonia.

Already up to 60. Gonna be a warm recovery today in the mid 70s.

Perfect timing.  Caledonia here we come.   Ironically the pool there is closed because they cannot find enough employees.

Get ready you will in June too! 

Paweather calling for cold weather in June.  The forecast is in!  Frankly the thing that would make me happiest is if somehow OBX is not nearly as rainy next week as models suggest...for our friend going on Vaca.   Sucks to drive that far and then not have beach weather.

Maybe for you, but a few years back we had frost on Memorial Day morning up here in the Skook. It warmed up quickly, but it was cold at first light.

Wow.  Was that one of the years MDT set a record?  I was figuring with the way Memorial day vacillates around end the end of May the chances of hitting one with a temp colder than 42 was low. 

Just put my winter vests away...for the second time this season.  Is that it @paweather?  Or will I need to pull them out in June?

Sunny and 42 .  Possibly the coldest open to a Memorial day in history.

51 degrees here and currently raining. I'm going to be having roasted bird if a certain Robbin doesn't stop shitting in my rain gauge. 

Measuring the white stuff in May.  Cannot ask for more, right?

I’m satisfied with whatever June brings my way. We got historic cold this weekend and I’m allowed to turn on the a/c in 36 hours but still won’t need to for at least a few days.

Ha.  Probably not until at least Thursday if not Fri or Sat.  It does feel good to have this year in the history books for two days.   MDT is down from 54 to 53 now so the record should be in the books for today.  Nighttime low record seems doubtful though.   I see the 12Z GFS dropped 1/2" on @canderson this afternoon.  LOL

I'm at .17" today and 2.08" for the event since Friday. As for the rain holding down temps, nope. I'm at 51.8° right now as opposed to yesterday's high of 49.6°.

I think you may be the board winner.  I am just around 2".  Still suspect some areas of eastern Lancaster county got up to 3"

I'm at .04" for the day, 1.35" for the event. Temp is up to 55 here. 

The lessened rain has taken away our chance of staying in the 40's.  Dry here now and 50.  Mushrooms growing up in the yard because my grass is so immature.  Suggests the yard is quite wet.   Mdt has reported rain at 4 of the last 7 intervals but not accums.  Need an investigation. Ha

Just picked up my first hundredth of an inch since 6pm yesterday. Rain has now stopped.

It started raining here again.  Roads wet.  A heavy drizzle.  .05" today.  Sunday's festivities punted into Monday.   Tomorrow looks good right now though. 

@TimB84, 6Z GFS does bring back normal temps for us next weekend but spares us an extended period of above normal though mid June.      Concentrates the real heat toward the middle of the country.  Did not check Dp's just temps.

No rain since very early Saturday am but there is a little shower on the other side of the mountain that I hope gets here. I don’t wanna water my potted plants today!

You are in the strip of dry.  MDT did report rain this AM though.   We have finally had a several hour period of dry. 

On and off rain over here.  45.   Still think mdt  might breach 50 when the rain stops.  Should hopefully hold on for another record though.

Edit-noticed Hrrr, nam, gfs all keep rain over or near mdt much of the day so hopefully the flip flops stop and it seals our record.

Nope. No precip since early this morning, maybe drizzle I haven’t noticed but the sidewalk and roads are dry. 

I checked out wunderground and saw it was indeed east of you.  Sorry about that.  We have almost nothing on radar here but the drizzle is so hard to I hear water draining off the roof.  

Hopefully a drier forecast for tomorrow does not derail the second record breaker possibility.

I haven't had a drop of rain in over 4 hours. Maybe we won't get much more after all. We'll see if tomorrow brings any surprises.

Looks like the rain I saw went a bit southeast of mdt.  Some .10ish readings on wunderground a bit east of the airport.

I don’t like disagreeing with CTP but I really don’t see much precip at all hitting MDT. Maybe a tenth of an inch sometime in the mornings but it looks dry after like noon. 

Looks like mdt has been light to mod rain for hours this evening per radar.  Not raining at your place? 

Nam really trended toward the dryer euro for tomorrow.  Loving the rain falling tonight though.....coming down a bit harder now.  Quarter inch since 5pm.

Actually raining decently here right now but most not on radar....one of those heavy drizzle out of low clouds situations.  .10" in the last two hours.

Not at all diminishing their info but our recent frequent 70's days in winter make stats like this a bit less impressive.  RE: in 2015 it was warmer every day between Dec 22 and 27 than it was today. The fact that we are experiencing the two coldest days (high temp)  immediately leading up to Memorial day, ever in record keeping, is the big news!  

Several 42 and 43 degree temps showing near the I80 corridor of the Eastern half of PA.

Thinking tomorrow may be as cool as today if not a touch cooler, especially east of I-81 - reason being, it sure looks to me like tomorrow is going to be wetter than today. Wouldn't be at all surprised if tomorrow ends up quite rainy in eastern areas.

Rain is blossoming coming up out of MD/VA now. 

Yes, I actually think the GFS is underdone in qpf totals and you, Voyager, etc....are counting between 1/2 and 1" more.  Just an opinion.    But even over here I think it is wet all night and all day tomorrow.    Think tonight some areas see outright downpours. More general light/persistent rain tomorrow if it comes to happen. 

GFS stays with the record setting day temp wise tomorrow.  Says MDT does not make 50.  Not sure I believe that but I do think MDT sets another daily low max.  Also says MDT is on watch for a record low Monday AM.   About another 1/4" of rain across the board for LSV.
