The dryness continues .10 rain over night. Monthly total now .59

I would think D1/Moderate drought expands into LSV this Thursday.  Long Range GFS has plenty of rain and white rain snow (if a storm form on the front next weekend) chances so I personally am not super worried yet.  If we get into May and it is still this dry, then I am worried. 

 

 

PS-A chilly 41 this AM.

Still a mild 54 here currently...though the winds have increased and it feels quite pleasant out there today.

We picked up 0.22" of much needed rain overnight here in East Nantmeal. Temperatures have continued to fall this morning since sunrise as a cold front passed through earlier this AM. Clouds will give way to sun this afternoon with temps at just about normal for mid April in the low to mid 60's. Below normal temps should remain through Wednesday with temps much of the time remaining in the 50's with near 60 by Wednesday. Much warmer to close out the week and with shower chances arriving by the weekend.
Records for today: High 95 (1896) / Low 20 (1928) / Rain 1.82" (1910)

Morning all.  Well well well, I see we sit at 58.5 for average monthly temp.  I know a guy who may have predicted that last week tehe.  I also said to keep an eye out for the max min record falling on saturday and sure enough it went down in a heap.  Man, it feels good tooting my own horn on a Monday morning.  Hey, the victories don't come often so I'll take 'em haha.

I do think it's looking more and more evident that the rest of the month will have enough cool spells that we fall short of the record so I will likely be losing my shekels on that front.  And as for rain, not much to speak of around here.  We got .12" for the entire weekend.  Seems like many of the same places that were the most severely shafted with snow totals are getting screwed in the rain department as well.  Not much on the horizon either.

In other news, Death Valley and Peter Sinks secured their rightful places atop the throne with the national high and low of 98 and 8, so all is right with the world.

I thought about that fact all weekend long.

Too breezy though - that'll last through tomorrow night it appears. 

I forget when it was but I saw that post you made referencing the hard ground and boy howdy you weren't kidding.  I did some grass patching on Friday and I couldn't even rake the ground, just dry as a bone and hard as a rock.  Not expecting my seed to do much ugh.

.3" total. It was a very sharp cutoff. MDT had .1" IIRC for Saturday - not sure if they got anything overnight last night. @Itstrainingtime got zip. So you can see that gradient. 

thats amazing. Saturday afternoon it down poured to the point my spouting could not keep up for at least 20 minutes, then later that night for round 2.

Can confirm - we had a light shower very early Saturday morning. Since then...bone dry. Not a drop.
