MGorse Posted Sunday at 07:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:02 PM So much pollen! There a solid coating of it on everything. You know the pollen is bad when you can see tire tracks in your driveway because of a layer of pollen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take a bit of a chill pill instead of disrespecting NWS Mets. Just a suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Monday at 02:03 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:03 PM Today will be the coolest day of the week with highs just a few degrees below normal in the low 60's. Some showers are possible late tonight and then some great early spring weather for Tuesday through Thursday. Thursday could see temperatures in the mid 70's. Shower chances look to increase again toward the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those large mulch piles should be moved around often to mix it up to keep it from getting to hot in the middle, thus keeping the fire threat much reduced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the situation was being exaggerated and (non-drought) causal mechanism ignored- at the expense of our local NWS mets- who have enough "static" to deal with these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 11:51 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:51 AM We picked up a little rain last night with 0.04" here in East Nantmeal. A beautiful stretch of spring weather starting today and lasting through the end of the work week. Thursday and Friday should both see highs in the mid 70's across the area. Showers by Friday night into Saturday and we turn a bit closer to normal temperatures by the end of the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not horrible yet and the wind helps out. But getting into the car around noon kinda sucked. Windows immediately down for about 1/2 mile to get the stuffy stuff out then A/C on full throttle. Back indoors in A/C currently, ahhh. Look term doesn't look too bad, just can't stand the damn heat... 76F/DP 52F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago After being criticized by an individual for not taking a chill pill and for saying the mulch fire was major fire and that I was blowing the fire possibilities out of proportion with the current drought in the last few days, two so called non-major wildfires are still going crazy. Jim Thorpe area over 500 acres and now another non major fire in southern NJ. All I hear now is crickets at my house. Also Mike Gorse, I must apologize to you and your staff as I did not mean any disrespect toward you or your staff at MT Holly. I am really frustrated with this crappy weather pattern we are stuck in for the past 9 months and did not mean to take it out toward MT Holly staff. Many of the old weather hobbyists have to be as frustrated as I am too as these daily 20-30 mph Santa Ana type winds with extreme diurnal temp ranges and no Gulf of America moisture source for storm convection which has basically has been gone for nearly a year now. I am also hoping a special weather statement will be issued that considers the under-stories in the woods and nearby brushy fields are extremely dry right now regardless of any rain we received two weeks ago. The dry warm winds are sure not helping as evident by these fires.

ChescoWx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Some great spring weather is ahead for the rest of the work week before some showers arrive toward Saturday morning. We should see mid-70's over the next few days before a slight cool down by Sunday but then another big warmup toward the middle of next week.
