ChescoWx Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Plenty of spots across the county hit 90 degrees including my poorly placed roof top thermometer which hit 93 degrees. However, my 2 ground based thermometers could do no better than around 89 degrees. Much cooler today through the rest of the upcoming week with temps remaining in the 70's. Records for today: 98 (1919) / 36 (1986) / Rain 1.16" (1978) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 On a typical Saturday morning in June, the neighborhood would be buzzing with the sound of lawnmowers. Not today, just brown grass and chirping birds. 71F/DP 62F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Had a nice shower for about a half an hour last evening, actually got 0.11" of rain, and had one 3 legged bolt of ctc lightning. Just a taste, but it was nice. Currently 73F and some sun through the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although yesterday I heard one of my neighbors mowing around noon, but it turned out to be professional lawncare service. I'm guessing those guys know how to work in all kinds of weather, but still. Yesterday got hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that, it's been quiet. I think it was 2 weeks ago yesterday the last time I mowed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like most of it is moving south but to the far west of me so I don't think I'll get anything. So far it appears the cold front has been oozing in here with overcast skies as I did reach a high of 76 earlier today but am now down to 65 with dp slowly starting to drop, and now at 57.

Yup, got .12". This, combined with yesterday's .06" should help green up things a little bit around here. And, there's finally rainwater in my rain barrel that I installed a month ago. Not much, but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 44 minutes ago, RedSky said: 45F The ground is dry so that it enhances any radiational cooling, like you see in naturally dry areas or the desert! I remember being on a training trip to Colorado over 30 years ago in August and how it would get up to the 90s during the day but drop down to the 40s at night. That was somewhat expected being a mountain climate but the thermodynamics was on display. I bottomed out at 51 and am currently clear and 53, with a very high thin deck of clouds, and dp 50.

ChescoWx Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Our morning low was a below average 48.1 Another mainly dry week in store across the county. High temperatures look to average near normal while overnight lows look to be below normal through much of the week. Normal highs are in the mid to upper 70's with lows in the mid to upper 50's. Our best chance of a little rain looks to be Tuesday night. There are some hints across the longer term models of a wetter period possibly developing by later this weekend into next week.

CoolHandMike Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Weird, hazy sky right now. Cool and breezy. There doesn't look like a lost of smoke on the smoke map (https://fire.airnow.gov/#) but GOES-East paints a different picture (https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=continental-conus-truecolor-48-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined).

Albedoman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 The 15 day models are promoting a major hurricane in the GOM. If that happens, Cat 4-5 maybe Camille or Katrina style. However, that will cut off any available moisture for us until the the remnants of the potential storm dies out over the US. Until then, we will be in a drought warning next week- 3 weeks too late IMHO. I see a drought by the end of the month. In the LV , the newspapers and other media are talking about it drought everyday now. The Little lehigh has gravel bars exposed in places now. Pictures/videos of dry trout stream beds with dead trout in the next two-three weeks are coming. I am waiting for the next hot topic- well drillers going deeper for existing wells will become too busy to get to everyone to redrill as residential shallow wells start to go dry. Corn ans soybean yeilds will be down 25-50% too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Got up to 78 for a high yesterday and bottomed out at 58 this morning. Definitely have a yellowish, crayola "dandelion" colored hazy wash over a background of slate. Currently hazy overcast and 61 with dp 45 and knowing we have a Red Flag Warning up for the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
