Low of 71.  Should be quite the contrast on our drive out to West Virginia tomorrow, as we start off under thick clouds and a cool easterly flow and then as we traverse the spine of the Appalachians the flow switches to southerly and things clear up.  Hot and sticky is the name of the game for this weekend in Morgantown, and I think the bulk of the storm activity on Saturday holds off until after the game.  Go State!

80°F and it feels like ass outside. Jr High football starts this evening so it's off to Juniata Valley with this guy. Their school is right in the middle of pastureland so my sequoia tree ass is getting incredible odds for lightning strike. 

 

Can't wait.

Western WV moves to D4.  These are Western US like numbers out there.  The first D4 in the history of WV.  Large area of D2 in the Laurels.

Northeast Drought Summary

Northern parts of the Northeast received half an inch or more of rain this week while the rest of the region received little to no rain. Weekly temperatures averaged near normal in Maine to 5 to 8 degrees cooler than normal in West Virginia and Delaware. The spot of abnormal dryness in New Hampshire shrank due to rains from the last 2 weeks, while abnormal dryness expanded in Delaware and eastern Maryland and severe to extreme drought expanded in West Virginia where exceptional drought (D4) was added -- the first time D4 has appeared in West Virginia in the USDM’s history. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 100% of West Virginia’s topsoil and subsoil moisture was rated short or very short (dry or very dry), and 92% of the pastures and rangeland were in poor to very poor condition. This is a record high percentage of topsoil moisture short or very short in the 22-year record for West Virginia, and a record low statewide pasture and range condition index. Reports have been received of widespread crop loss and water hauling for livestock and irrigation, pastures/meadows not regenerating, low streamflow, and dry soils.
