Pessimist! As a person that lives nearby, most of the 'predicted' rain lately has not happened. Carlisle is actually in a 'moderate drought' condition right now. But pessimists are always welcome to stay home.

I check it everyday and the chance of rain has been going down for the last 5 days, only slightly though. It is always hot and it always rains, nothing new here, been driving out to Carlisle since 1992 , missed the first year because I didn't know about it, haven't missed it since! Early 90's it was 100 degrees then a tornado came through, was fun figuring out where my parts went and whose were in my space! After the downpours it was 100 degrees the next day and 500% humidity!
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Remember those days of near 100's. And you had to look far&wide for any hose/sprinklers to cool off with. You'd think Carlisle would have had something setup for the guests. So bad your souls were sticking to the asphalt walking around.

I was just at Carlisle for the Ford show in June and it hit upper 90s high humidity got so hot had to roll out early. My wife said there is a "cooling room" in one of the buildings and ppl had babies in there with nothing but diapers on to cool off in the AC room. Had my Barracuda at Carlisle several years back and it hit 105+ degrees temp plus humidity. Why I went knowing ahead it was going to be that bad I have no idea. Then my torque converter cracked on the drive home spewing trans fluid all over exhaust. It was a memorable day for sure.

I always soak an old white t-shirt in water, then wrap around the neck. Your neck has vessels close to surface & rag evaporating cools them. Just re-wet in washrooms or other means. Good advice man, ill keep that in mind

Saw a big storm moving in about 3:00 then is just fizzled out and sprinkled for 3 minutes! Gonna be nasty hot tomorrow... Hit one on 83 on the way home to York, it went from sunny to [censored] black 4-ways & brake lights everywhere, was like driving in a hurricane… for about 3 whole miles. Then right back to clear skies. Luckily for the show it stayed to the south. How does the word “ p i t c h “ get censored?
