YORK WEATHER up to the minute. 9:30 am 4/16

I can't resist thinking of George Carlin's weatherman skit.

Working hard for us!...

Still looking good.

Agreed……if it holds the way it’s predicted, then it will be perfect!

Now it is not so good as of today Sunday AM. I'm sure it will change again.

....ugh......it will change....

Peter

Here's what the Weather Channel says, but it's way too early to know what the weather will be in ten day, the weather guessers frequently can't tell you what tomorrow's weather will be!

John, Why do you have to copy me.?

HUH?

Looking better.

I come prepared for anything from below freezing to shorts weather, and I've never been surprised.  Unless there's so much snow that the turnpike is closed, I'll be there.  I can't control the weather, and it will have minimal effect on my enjoyment of the meet. 

I guarantee that it will be windy or rainy (or both) when it's time to carry a large purchase back to the car.

Funny thread- we are all hoping for the best.

For those who want to go crazy on weather forecast accuracy, I found this web site with accuracy of weather forecasts for York PA.  If I read the details correctly, in February, there was ~70% chance of an accurate 1-3-day forecast.   The weather channel appears to be the most accurate barely.  Precipitation appears to be a better bet than temperature, especially low. 

"These are the one- to three-day out accuracy percentages for high temperature, low temperature, icon forecast precipitation (both rain and snow), and text forecast precipitation (both rain and snow). Temperature accuracy is the percentage of forecasts within three degrees. Precipitation accuracy is the percentage of correct forecasts. The forecasts are collected in the evening."

Weather is looking better again.  We are their for 6 day's and the weather is important to us.

80's?  Other than the tail end of this week, I don't see an 80 in sight.  That's not to say this won't change fifteen times before we get there.

You better look again John.

Looking great!

Well, I did say it would change at least 15 times before the event...

Looks like it changed again...

Looking good.

Looks good......all who are beginning their journey tomorrow......safe travels to all!

Peter

Yes, safe travels everyone!

Still looking good.

Hmm...  Warm enough, but I could do with less water!

John:

Agree that there are likely more changes to come. BTW, there is a considerable difference right now between the AccuWeather and the Weather Channel forecasts for York this week.

Pat

That is quite a difference.  I wonder who's right?

Why does everyone have to put their own weather report on here. Isn't it enough that I do it? I won't say what I am thinking JOHN.

Eddie G,

Some folks have to be the expert around here on OGR and maybe do not like that you are our York expert!
lol!

Since Eddie is already basking in the York experience I will post this.  Not to step on his toes but just to put a final forecast since he's most likely having too much fun.  We're in for a hot one on Thursday and hotter Friday.

No flannel shirts!

Toasty for sure, better pack the shorts!

We packed for all kinds of weather. We packed for the heat in York and the chilly evening on Tuesday night at the Phillies game. It’s all about comfort!

That's just too hot to walk around at a Train Meet.  I'm staying home.....NOT!

Hopefully folks will plan accordingly and bring/drink plenty of water.  The demographic that attends this meet isn't the best suited for unseasonably temperatures this high, this early.
