Itstrainingtime

Radar does look lousy. And you're right about going forward as well...not much to be enthused about regarding rain chances over the next week.

I think that's exactly right. Probably a good amount of down sloping from the surrounding ridges. I travel the turnpike a lot and see the same thing happen in Breezewood - it's often 3-5 degrees cooler up on Sideling Hill compared to the land of hotels...

88 at noon with a good amount of cloudiness. 90 obviously within reach but not totally convinced I make it unless there is more sun than there is now. It actually feels pretty good here with the cloud/breeze combo.

There's a beautiful breeze this morning.

97/66. 98 remains as my season high.

Nope! Season high has been 98. Sitting at 97 right now. Things are getting crunchy underfoot...

95/67 here at 1:45. Puts the HI just under 100.

Just hit 90. At least the hours of daylight are shortening. It's going to have to work harder to get hot soon.

I see Bubbler is overflowing with positive vibes these days.

I was reading comments from the Lancaster county agriculture department that said the combination of high heat AND lack of rainfall is significantly impacting the current yield. Corn can thrive in heat but it needs rainfall to grow. That's what I got for you.

Fresh sweet corn is in short supply over this way now due to the dry weather. Several stands announced they will be limiting hours and amounts as the current yield is suffering.

Looks like you are in the cross hairs...again!

Only got .22" over the past 24 hours here. Congrats to the areas that really needed rain and got it!

It's about to rain on Rouzerville again...

Nothing remotely close to me. Yet.

It rains in Tamaqua every day it seems...

"She" says she hasn't used that word since her college days. I told her that I wasn't aware that she was such a weather nerd back then. Environment seems ripe for things to blossom soon enough.

Hopefully, there is an increase soon...or it might not be so...copious. LOL

Yep, my split is 80/73 right now. That's gross.

Clouds and rain have given way to full sunshine now. The match has been struck...

72 here now. .31" of rain is today's total.

I just have to say that this is by far the most active our thread has been during any summer that I can recall going back to Eastern and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Somehow, it's helping move summer along faster. Before you know it, we'll be talking about partly cloudy and 52 in January.

Stunning shelf cloud getting ready to move in over me. This has the classic feel of a big daddy boomer.

It is menacingly dark here. Judging by the looks of the radar, Maytown might be even more historic soon
