MDT has a shot at 70 on Christmas Eve if it can clear out and keep the winds down.

 

The last two runs of the Euro haven't been quite the thermonuclear detonation that yesterdays 12z was. Today's 12z seems to have more of a hint of the GFS frontal passage by Xmas Day but not as pronounced. GFS still has a stronger frontal passage and there would probably be snow showers in the mountains later Xmas Day if the GFS had it's way. So July on Christmas is certainly not a slam dunk. 

 

Either way it's still quite warm on both models the couple days leading up to Christmas, With one or two of those days maybe attempting 60+. Who knows what'll happen afterwards, GFS has looked changeable in the long range.. while Euro chugs right along with continuing to ram up heights in the east. Something's gotta give with this crappy pattern eventually.

Grasping at straws here, but 18z gfs looks interesting for the 12/28 period. Much better track and high pressure signature compared to previous runs. Something to keep an eye on perhaps. Drops 15" on UNV verbatim  :weenie:

Ended up with about a half inch from the squalls earlier, discovered that the roads are quite a ****show around the local area. Pic was taken near the PSU Altoona Campus. Sounds like numerous accidents on the scanner. Bad timing being a Friday night and it being unlikely that PennDOT had any overnight staff ready to treat the roads.
