PA Blurb - May 2013

The see-saw weather pattern during May left the state with very near normal temperatures, but rainfall continued to average below normal in at least 55 of the state's 67 counties. Only Erie had substantially above average rainfall. Many parts of the state noticed a late season frost/freeze on May 14 and also the year's first two tornadoes on May 28. The near seasonal readings led to average crop plantings and a lack of heavy rain made fields easily accessible. The most active day for severe weather was May 10 with nearly half (43) of the state's severe weather occurring on that day. Overall, May 2013 was quite uneventful in the Commonwealth.
