Done. 3 minutes ago, KamuSnow said: Speaking of birds, these 3 stopped by earlier and were pretty conversational when they arrived (the 3rd one is on the far side of the driveway). My Upper Darby sis texted a pic of a (smaller) downy woodpecker. I guess they are all out. Did hear one around here a few weeks ago but not recently. Am used to seeing the pilated ones up in a tree! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 That line did indeed hit here; very heavy rain and moderate wind gusts. That was with the severe thunderstorm warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool. I go to the park and amazed they come in at 150mph and just land in the pond and just quack like no big deal....what the hell?

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's 20 minutes after sunset, so it's dark, and the robins (and other songbirds) are having a concert. Down to 62 with dp 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ended up with .25" here for the day. Not nearly as wild as was forecasted (it's been windier in the past few hours than it was all day) but still a pretty decent and fun little late spring event to watch unfold.

ChescoWx Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The record high for today is the 91 from back in 1951. Our record low is the 30 degree reading on this date way back in 1895. Our record rainfall was recorded just 4 years ago when 1.34" fell in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Long range looks more below normal then above aside from the few warm weekend days. Same pattern from the winter continues what will it take to snap it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same pattern from the winter continues what will it take to snap it? I was reading some more over at AccuWx. It's an odd summer to forecast from an analog stand point -- third year La Nina, easterly QBO, -IDO -- not a lot of matching analogs. Having said all that, the only season I would feel comfortable forecasting below normal temps is spring. My hunch is we'll flip the switch soon enough and summer of azz will commence.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Had a low of 50 this morning but as progged, the temp quickly recovered and it's currently a breezy 77, with lots of "fair weather cumulus", and a dp of 48 after the drier air finally advected in.

Same La Nina state as this time last year similar Indian and Australia SST's only difference is the cool blue bubble anomaly centered over the northern plains. Last May did deliver the coolest Memorial weekend on record despite the overall base state was warmer. My best guess is an eventual flip in June with a similar warm humid summer as last year.

We've had a couple of early birds showing up the last 4 or 5 years. They hang out for a couple of weeks, then the main crew starts to show up, usually the last week of May.

A few weeks ago saw a dead lightning bug on an outside window ledge. Way too early to see one. But I can't imagine he (or she) was leftover from last season and just sat there the whole time without being blown away by a gust or someone coming along to snack on him (or her).
