53 this morning here. I'd be wearing jeans today for work if I had an earlier start than 8am. By the time I load the first tank of the day, the sun is starting to warm things up.
Gonna need the heat in the car, though, for starters.
Please refrain from using the heater in your vehicle in July. One must not use the heater in a vehicle until late September. Don't give in to temptation.

.01” at home
we drove down to Columbia which was a mistake. They had rain so heavy culverts l backed up. I was walking back to the car in water to my ankles. Parts of 29 were entirety flooded. Took close to an hour and half just to get to the PA border. It was awwwwwful
Real concert and festival goers will do anything to see their favorite artists. Nothing will stop them unless the promoter says there are unsafe conditions. You are one of those people. I know I am one of those too, been there done that more than once. The worst one was had to evacuate Epicenter festival in North Carolina for tornado warning and sit in our vehicle. Aftermath was bad tent campers stuff destroyed, damage inside festival to one of the stages and several vendors had damage. But festival continued next day with a delayed start. We also experienced the same conditions in Va. with Blue Ridge Rock Festival in 2023 and we were camping at that festival. Luckily we didn't have damage to out tent and canopy we were lucky but a lot of other ones weren't so lucky. A lot lost their tents and canopies and their other stuff got soaked from the torrential rain. There was no warning as the storm formed right over the festival in minutes.

Outside with my second coffee and smoke, and she's flashing and booming a bit now. And as I type this the rain is getting heavy again. These morning storms seem to be training right up through Schuylkill County.
Zilch here.

A strong low pressure system is expected to bring scattered severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, July 21st. Damaging winds are the primary threat, though all severe weather hazards may be possible. Remember that central Pennsylvania only sees around 5-6 Enhance risks a year. Confidence continues to increase for severe weather on Tuesday.

I got 0.10" more between 11 and 12 last night to take my total to 1.93" for the day.
Caveat...what I mentioned about the USGS gauge being lower. It's total was 1.45".
My dilemma. Which is more accurate? A tipping bucket or a hepatic gauge?
Buy a rain Guage at your local hardware store and compare readings after it rains.
