Itstrainingtime Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 (1/2) Northern MD and York, Adams, Lancaster, and Chester Co's have been placed in the "Moderate Drought" category on today's U.S. #drought monitor. After another warm and dry day tomorrow with highs in the 80s, a cold front will trigger showers and #thunderstorms on Saturday.. (2/2) The front should traverse northern PA and southeastern PA from west-to-east late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Due to limited moisture and instability, the #severeweather threat appears low, but I expect a widespread 0.5-1.0" of much-needed rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times! It has been a brutal week. Almost happening so often that one wonders if it is a coincidence. Some 4-5 times this week as to ones that made national headlines.

Good times! Yeah it's pretty annoying people making assumptions about specific parts of the country. If people actually spent time in the big cities or rural parts of the country they'd understand that things are not as they seem online. It also doesn't help that media and social media fearmongers us constantly making us think that everyone's out to harm you or that you might get hurt if you walk outside your home. Most people are nice and caring...obviously there's some people that are awful but the negative things always stick out like sore thumbs compared to all the good in the world. Sorry for the rant lmao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy answer - I'll never ever forget the great drought of April 1988. Orioles started the year losing their first 21 games in a row. I don't have records nor do I recall such a prolonged dry spell during this part of the year. Never. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this wasn't directed at me but my driest start to the year was 2012 when I had only 8.55" from Jan thru April. My driest April was 2015 with 1.36". MDT has had under an inch in April three times, with the record being .45" in 1985. Their driest start to a year (Jan - April) looks to be 1946 with 6.55". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralRed Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I thought people might be interested in this Texas weather story in which Penn State meteorologists play a role. I have followed this Traces of Texas old photos Twitter site for a few months. It is consistently interesting and tells me all kinds of things about America's past I did not know or appreciate like I should. I wish there was something like it for Pennsylvania. https://twitter.com/TracesofTexas/status/1649102190454226964?s=20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Bradford notched its sixth 80+ reading of the month (not reflected on graphic below), adding to its record-breaking monthly total. Looks like a seventh on tap for tomorrow. To put that into perspective, there have been 21 Julys (out of 64 years) with 7 or fewer 80+ readings at Bradford. So roughly 1 in every 3 Julys has fewer 80+ degree days than this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
