Voyager Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah. Mother Nature really knows how to pick em huh? Good luck with everything. The good news is the weather pattern will switch up back to warm and more summer like. I'm wondering if what a few people are saying about the LR is going to be correct with a trough in the plains and ridge in the east setup late in the month as the ridge over the Pacific retrograde and moves the troughing toward the country's mid section. That leaves room for that Bermuda high in the east. That would spell hot for July. We'll see. It's still early. Thanks! I have to wonder though, a Bermuda High for us and a trough in the mid section. Does that equate for more heavy rain for Texas and Oklahoma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 3.73" of rain the past 7 days at the golf course in Fairfield. From the end of April up to this last week I only received 0.66" of rain and the grass was burning out. Quite a swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Easterly flow remains stubbornly locked in over here in Lancaster county, but it's no surprise to me. This weekend, the sun will make an appearance and temperatures will rebound, but should stay slightly below normal. The next real active weather looks to come on Monday with a threat of thunderstorms for the region. Storms could be severe with support looking like linear organization ahead of an approaching cold front. Should break out into the warm sector as the main low will be positioned over Ontario. That's a pretty good spot for PA to get severe potential. We shall see. Enjoy your cool June day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sounds like a good shot at decent storms tomorrow. "This wave moves through wrn pa and into central pa at the time of max heating, pushing a line of strong to locally severe storms across the region. Central pa is painted into day 2 slgt risk for this and concur, could be the best setup so far this year for severe, and training cells May lead to local heavy rainers. as previous shift added, models generate impressive amounts of cape and wind shear under the strong jet entrance region that intensifies as it swings through srn canada. Models cont to generate a broad area of negative abs vorticity under the strong jet entrance region, often a good indication of the instability generated by the models. This activity will last well into Monday night" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Now it's official. I'm an employed meteorological forecaster!! Congrats man, especially given the ridiculously tough market for mets out there. Mind if I ask where? Not excited about tomorrow's "severe" threat at all. Will probably have a highly contaminated warm sector that doesn't clear out until 5:00 pm or so and then we get some gusty showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not excited about tomorrow's "severe" threat at all. Will probably have a highly contaminated warm sector that doesn't clear out until 5:00 pm or so and then we get some gusty showers. Thanks Joe. It is a really tough market out there. I was incredibly fortunate. I work for a government contracted firm that does forecasting for the DoD located in Germantown. Pretty interesting job and I can't wait to start. As far as tomorrow, I think the opportunity is there but it's better the further west you go in the subforum. Low level shear is the best it has been for severe around here, but once again, cloudy skies ahead of the frontal boundary in the warm sector might be the demise. I still think a few good lines will develop, but any major cells will have a tough time. The synoptic setup is good with a low over the Lakes, but can we get the sun to break out? That's the million dollar question. That's just a short synopsis. I might write something more elaborate tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If it's Germantown, MD then you work about 20 minutes from my job. It is. I'll be sure to wave to you and Mark haha MillvilleWX congratulations! 0.37" of rain this morning. Lets see what this afternoon brings. Thanks! Had some light rain go through Millersville this morning. Actually felt nice out. The sun is out to the south, but clouds are hanging around to my north, and that might be the key player in today's forecast. Just off what I glanced at (haven't looked into detail), the areas to the west around Cumberland/Perry/Franklin/Adams are in line for some good storms this evening. I'm going to take a look closer and see if that's the case and whether or not areas east can get in on the severe potential and not just heavy rain. PWAT's look up to around 1.75-2", so any convective potential will be accompanied by tropical like downpours. Edit: SPC seems to like the potential today. That shortwave digging on the back side of the main trough could make things interesting for the region this evening. I'm always gun shy on severe potential around here if there is debris clouds chilling in the warm sector. More often than not, it manages to screw our areas. Their take is the cloudy conditions will transfer to a more favorable environment as the sun begins to really break through and offer up a time of abundant diabatic heating potential. Plus, with the dew's heading into the mid/upper 60's today, that should provide the potential deep moist convection to fire on the lead of any frontal forcing. If we had full sun today, I think we'd have some serious potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sun has been out for over an hour here. I hate severe weather but am concerned given the amount of sun so early in the day. Our baseball team (Donegal) is in the state semis this afternoon in Cresson and it's not looking good weatherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said this to a co-worker about the sun already, could be interesting for sure later. The weather hasn't really been cooperating for playoff games has it. Good luck today if you guys play.

rolltide_130 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Where about? Central/eastern PA and possibly down into MD, per his Facebook page. No specific towns/locations mentioned, although Harrisburg looks to be in a prime area for a starting location for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
