Average (whatever that means anymore) for May and June is about 9"or so and we have not broken 3" total for the last 7 weeks. Just bad timing at the start of growing season. MDT was in the same boat entering June but has had a good 5" of rain this month so far. I realize most of the LSV is not facing the same predicament. I was curious what MDT was at for the month but too lazy to look it up. Adding up my totals and I'm at 6.14" for June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding up my totals and I'm at 6.14" for June. Adding May and June it looks like MDT is about 2" below normal during that period. You may be near your norm for that period with that much rain this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June has been very interesting...I would characterize the month as having a lot of sunny days yet we've had measurable rainfall on more than half the days that I've been home. I know it was dry here while I was in NC but it's rained 5 days this past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Basically 2 chances for rain this week - Wednesday and Saturday PM. Other than that...the wet people dry out and the dry folks get...drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the entire 4th will be a wash but it could be active for a time. It's also 5 days out - things could speed up or slow down. Or...it might not produce anything.

Bubbler86 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 12 GFS Spins up a minor Surface Low off the SE coast and the interaction between it and the dying ULL low over New England allows for some decent rains Wednesday in and around the LSV and East. And this is after some bonus rain tomorrow. Edit-The Euro will have none of that nonsense though. Basically no rain for all of PA, except the far east, through July 10.

Well all the guidance I just looked at suggests today is now our better shot for rain out this far west. HRR, NAM, GFS all bring showers "around" this afternoon.

(or me) The Cashtown/Bubbler dry gulch express struck out today. We did just receive the notice from our water company stating that watering the lawn is no longer allowed due to forecast drought conditions. So like last year the midnight sprinkler guy will be coming to my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Boy, all signs are indeed pointing to an old fashioned heat wave next week. Euro is still very hot Friday (GFS is not) but both models bring the goods next week. Definitely potential for some 100's. NWS used "ring of fire" in their AFD.

Ahoff Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 No one is really talking in the Pittsburgh forum, so I'll slide east a bit. Since it's been so dry, does anyone think the temperatures being advertised are underdone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
