CoolHandMike Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 So my back deck is wet, but my gauge still measures zero. Thankful for at least a tiny little bit of rain by my gauge still reads zero. This pattern sucks. Showers are at least progged for the next 8 hours, we shall see how that actually turns out. On a positive note, at least tomorrow is looking cooler, so my wife and her mom and best friend won't melt at the Kutztown Folk Festival. Still not quite sure how I dodged that bullet but I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far what looked promising when I went to bed last night resulted in 0.08", with most of it between 2 - 3 am, and a dribble between 4 - 5 am. Whatever is on the radar now is just sitting in the clouds. After a low of 71, it's currently overcast and 73 with a dp of 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 So far today we have received 0.66" of rain. That puts us at 87% of normal rain for the month and 103% to normal for the year to date. Today's record high temperature is 103 degrees set back in 1936. Our record lowest temperature is the 48 degrees set in 1984. The daily rainfall record is the 2.00" that fell in 1935.

RedSky Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Strong signal the heat arrives in full force a week from now and the third week of July will be a furnace.

They either raise food prices or you're paying the same but receiving less. And gas prices will never drop below $4/$4.50 again. Then if a hurricane hits a oil/refinery....they'll jack gas prices again. 76F/DP 67F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Anyone know when the EPS upgrade is happening? I remember last year reading some news it was getting a large upgrade. Only a few months if hell left! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will perk back up in no time Are you thinking of annual ryegrass? Most consider annual blue grass a weed, if he wants some he's welcome to come dig mine up, lol. Not to be confused with Kentucky bluegrass of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen annual blue grass sold before for emgerency repairs-- It has a tendency to leave bare spots the following year. Annual ryegrass is a superior choice for its durability and drought resistance but does not germinate as readily or as hardily as annual bluegrass. Rye has a better appearance too. Some golf course such as Chambers Bay in WA use annual blue grass in their greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last year reading some news it was getting a large upgrade. Only a few months if hell left! . RedSky had posted something about a hardware upgrade a few pages back, so if the model update hasn't happened yet, this might make it possible to move forward with it - On 6/29/2022 at 12:26 PM, RedSky said: New faster computers for NOAA. They should run the GFS eight times a day and drive weather weenies out of their minds. https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/climate-security/u-s-supercomputers-for-weather-and-climate-forecasts-get-major-bump/?fbclid=IwAR0kfDSwpLRWy7Tm01oBCWQ_6PViZkaJYDyDPJ1mr_36QZ4nOEA8LsaZV6A The linked article does mention the ensembles, which suggests that the hardware upgrade will be a go-ahead for the EPS update - Quote “This is a big day for NOAA and the state of weather forecasting,” said Ken Graham, director of NOAA’s National Weather Service. “Researchers are developing new ensemble-based forecast models at record speed, and now we have the computing power needed to implement many of these substantial advancements to improve weather and climate prediction.” Well the sun managed to come out for about 5 minutes around 6 pm (longest appearance of the day) before it disappeared again. But in any event, I pretty much finished up with the 0.08" for the day. High did make it to 78 and the dp sortof dropped down to the upper 60s vs the lower 70s, and it's currently 74 with dp 67.

It would be nice to have more data from the 6z and 18z that we usually laugh at but obsessively look at anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Finally the drier air started pushing in sometime between ~ 7 am - 8 am and my dp finally dropped into the upper 50s. After a low of 65 this morning, it's currently sunny and 74 with dp 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
