As bad as this drought has been over the last 1-2 months, it is nothing year wise compared to last year for MDT and HGR and not even as bad at LNS...last year was bad (as was 2020 at MDT and HGR) and did not get the publicity. MDT, LNS then HGR below Tropical storm precip part of the disparity for MDT and HGR but not all of it. For LNS 2023 was the third driest 01-01 to 11-07 on record and 2024 was the 4th. MDT numbers sorted by date, not totals.

43 this AM. 19 colder than yesterday. MDT made 44 but is up to 49 now.

After this streak, it was a welcome sight. One more period of warmth some days of next week either way.

71 in Rou. Looks like MDT is 73 which is three away from a tie on the record.

D2 Takes over much of Lanco. Marysville defenses cant keep out D1. The amount of rain on the 10 day GFS will not do much to change these. Northeast Drought Summary Temperatures were generally 3-6 degrees above normal for much of the Northeast. Dryness continued, with only some portions of northern New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont recording near-normal precipitation. With the continued dryness, drought issues continue to develop, with abnormally dry conditions spreading through much of New York, Pennsylvania and more of New England. Moderate and severe drought conditions spread over more of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and eastern Maryland, with extreme drought conditions emerging in southern New Jersey.

62 for the low.....62! No 32 at MDT within the next 10 days puts them into the top 5 of this list (Column headed with the title First as in First freeze/32 of the season). The next legit 32 chance at MDT is 10 days out as of today per the GFS. MDT made 80 yesterday setting the mark for the latest 80 ever in a year.

The post in early Sept that said 80's are done pretty much jinxed us.

I have an ice cream man coming through the neighborhood playing music and looking for over heated kids. What is next, hotdogs, apple pie and a Band Concert at the rotunda Sat afternoon?

I do not think MDT made 80 but their 78 or 79 is the warmest temp this late in the year in the history of the station. Once you go down a few degrees it is much more common place though. MDT has reached 75 twice in Dec on Dec 7th, 1998 and Dec 29th 1984. Unbelievably a full 1/3 of the days in Dec have reached 70 or above at MDT.

Tomorrows record high at MDT is in play as well....76.

MUI, HGR. LNS, THV, CXY all 80 or above right now.

Also of note/reminder, if MDT gets to 80 it will be the latest in the year they have ever achieved that. That is quite noteworthy. Quite a few clouds here and 76.

MDT has their record in the bag as well.

MDT got down to 63 as the morning went on, removing the shot for the Max Min.

An incredible 60 here this AM while MDT is at 64/65. MDT has a shot at 2 records today. The max high and max min. If they are at 64 right now they could tie the max min if they hold it through midnight tonight. Max high record is 77 from 1948.

It is damn impressive.

If the data I just read is correct, the latest in the year that MDT has ever hit 80 was Nov 2nd.

76 here and something I thought I would never see this time of the year I have a mercury therm, that is very very susceptible to sun, hanging off a kitchen window facing west. It is reading 100 degrees.

Heat Wave? :-)

EB Nooners...70 and breezy.

MDT record highs are 79 for today and 77 for tomorrow.

AKA, struggling to stay near normal.

50 on the dot this Am. Looks like some very isolated inversions in the LSV this AM
