MU calling for 92 here tomorrow.

Downsloping winds and lower dews...I would be surprised if I don't hit or exceed 90. Shouldn't have too far to go to get there either.

I think some models have you topping near 82-83. I doubt I break 80 here with lows 60-65 tonight (here)

Wow.

I've never placed a bet in my life but that's tempting. I'll take the over on that. Maybe not 90 but low 80s? 

 I'm skeptical.

Haha, no bets.  But not one meso I saw gets you up to 90 so a fair call to say you stay in the 80's even if it is wrong.

 

On the biggies the 3K and Rgem are 83, the HRRR just went up a few degrees and is upper 80's, Fv3 is 82.    With all this said, my reply was to Altoona as well!  LOL

Models vs. Met! One is going to miss pretty badly.

Hrrr is not too far from MU.   Your nws zone waffles and says "near 90" which is 87 -93.  The models that rain on you sat are also below 90 that day.  One was in the 60's at 18z as unlikely as that sounds.

Re: do not eat dinner out during a monsoon!

Funny thing- Lee came on my birthday. We went out to dinner that evening. We did not make it home. We spent the night with family because every possible route home that night was closed due to flooding.

That was the event I was referring to as I remember you talking about it.

I had 15.5" in 2011.
I was thinking about this problem the last day or two. Rainfall statistics in lacking and trying to express the following problem. Say you have 12 weeks that you're looking at and each week I was in the inch of rain so the 12 weeks were quite the 12 in of rain as normal. Getting 13 inches of rain in one day and it's being dry every other day is a lot different than when rain is all spread out. So how is your quantify this. I guess in the ideal environment it would rain a little each day

We have talked about this before.  I cannot quantify anything to an exact science but to me and thinking about vegetation and grass, over a 12 week period, .5" per week is far superior to no rain for 11 weeks and ANY amount for the one week.  My thought is not limited to equal amounts.   The 6' over 12 weeks is better than 20" in one week...better than 30' for the week, etc. Even .3" per week all summer is better than 20 in one week.

Now when talking about ground water, it is not as clear.

@Mount Joy Snowman there is some intensification just west of York city. Right now, I'm positioned perfectly to miss north and south. Hopefully it fills in.

I got about a quarter inch in ten minutes. No real wind or lightning. Pretty pedestrian but I’ll take it. Sitting at a cool 80/77 ha. Looking forward to things feeling different in the morning. Night, all.

Mdt bagged a Trace....enhancing it's chance to hold on to it's max min record for the day. Down to 71 here.  Would not be surprised to see some 50's tomorrow am (on wunderground) in colder areas. 

HR Mike bagged .13" tonight. First time over a tenth of an inch in weeks. The line blew up again just east of here. 

Got something though.

An idea. Breakup the 12 weeks into 28 sets, each set is 3 days. So if you average 12" of rain over 12 weeks that's about 0.43" every 3 days. For each 3 day set you sum up the absolute value of any deficit. So in that example where there is no rain for 11 weeks than 13" one day in week 12 you would have 27 sets of 0.43 which would equal 11.61". Than you can just do (11.61/12)×100 = 96.8% brown grass metric, haha. But I'm sure if I do that for all the years that we have data and then I should be able to do a rank order as well as see some fun pattern.

I'm thinking the hardest thing is going to be figuring out what daily average number to use. For say July 11, 1955 do I use the 30 year average From 1920-1950, our most recent 30 year average, or the average for the length of the entire data set. I also feel best method would be to get to daily average by way of monthly average divided by number of days.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Not sure if I'll end up doing it in python or excel.

Got 0 66" at the house. Of course it hit right when I was hooking up to load my last delivery of the night. I got soaked. Then I got to run in it all the way to Allentown where I got soaked again.

No real wind, but it was a good rain and lightning producer.
