They “only” had a 6-day heatwave


.

Outside of saturday, when I look at those temps in aggregate I kind of feel like the heat wave was a bit underwhelming. Safe to say the Euro was overdone? We declaring a model winner with this one?

I also wanted to mention that one of the nights (either Fri or Sat can’t remember which) I only dropped to 78 for a low. Thought that was impressive. I haven’t checked but I assume we broke some records?

@Mount Joy Snowman - did you hear any reports out of Mt. Joy proper from Saturday afternoon's storm? That storm dropped .25" of rain at my place in the form of a steady shower, but when we drove through the town yesterday morning on our way to Philly it looked like a war zone...trees and lines were down everywhere. A little research (social media) showed that people reported "definitely seeing a tornado" where others were like no, it was straight-line wind damage. Regardless, there were no warnings issued and I wasn't aware that there was even a storm...but just a few miles down the road from me, they got crushed. Scope of damage that I saw, winds had to be over the threshold for a warning. 

Howdy. So, we had our annual summer party on saturday and I kept telling people how we were juuuust missing out on all the action as it slid by to our north. Sure enough, my one buddy who lives in Mt. Joy texted when he got home that they had some wind damage and the storms were pretty nasty there. Nothing here other than some scattered big drops. I did, however, get .25” from last night’s storms. I’m off today still trying to get everything cleaned up from our party and man does it feel great out. Honestly though, even for how bad the heat was saturday, people were totally fine sitting in the shade and everyone pretty much agreed it wasn’t THAT bad. I’m completely out of the loop on weather forecasting. We looking at anything significant in the week ahead?

I don't often talk about personal things but life over the past few months has had it's share of struggles. Last night our son was in a pretty bad accident. He's kind of a mess right now but ultimately will be fine.

Another reminder of the fragility of life.

Really sorry to hear this Mike. Nothing more horrifying than witnessing your child go through something like that. We wish we could take the pain from them and for them, but alas, all we can do is offer support. Hope everything works out and your son is back to full health in timely fashion. 

Been working outside most of the last couple days and haven’t found the heat to be anything extreme. Stayed mostly in the shade but a bit underwhelming thus far. There is, however, quite an east-west gradient to some of the temps and I suspect the peak of the heat dome moves more over my eastern area towards the weekend, just in time for our annual summer party on Saturday ugh. 

Low of 68.  CTP has definitely muted my forecast a bit as well, with highs starting tomorrow of 92-91-94-96 and the peak being 97 on Saturday.  Saturday's record of 97 for MDT may be the most gettable too. 

Low of 55. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. This one here is hittin’ the links later. Hopefully the light beer keeps me cool. 

Low of 59 to go with exactly 3/4” of rain. Beautiful weekend before we all get fried. Enjoy it, all.

Temp dropped to 67 here and about three quarters of an inch. Much needed. Also got a crap ton of power washing done today and I’m sore as a whore.

Not a freaking drop here. Sun is out.

Enjoy.

Sorry friend. Hopefully something in store for you later. 

Absolute buckets now. Round two even harder. Plenty of wind and T&L as well. This is glorious. 

Getting walloped over here with a classic summertime T’storm. The boy and I were out playing in it getting drenched. It will double as bath time tonight ha. Still pouring. 

Low of 67. Modeling certainly seems less robust around these parts for this evening. Man I hope we get something noteworthy because if not, with what’s in store for the next week or two….sheesh.

Good for them - it was admittedly hard to like your post.   

Well I’m a Donegal boy at heart too; went there until 4th grade, living in Mount Joy Boro. Played all my youth baseball for Mount Joy. Have fond memories of those days. 

The Hempfield Black Knights are your PIAA 6A champs in baseball! First in school history for a proud program. They were a huge underdog too, going up against basically a college prep team loaded with D1 talent in La Salle.

Rain shower in Waynesboro. 

Was just thinking of you when I saw the radar. Hopefully it expands from there, otherwise the HRRR was high on its on supply.

Not even A speck on radar so far

To be fair, it was never really until late this evening that the HRRR showed it coming through, and in fact the latest run still has it sprouting up and moving over us between like 8-11. Again, only far southeastern zones, not even Dauphin County really. We shall see.

3K really following the MHS point out this AM.

Yep.  Thanks for the shoutout but I don't know who MHS is 

Could be interesting for a select few folks this evening.  Something to watch ahead of the main show tomorrow evening.

Last time MDT hit 100 was July 19, 2020.  Prior to that, it was July 7, 2012.  And those were "just" 100 and 101, respectively.  

Low of 57 here.  Anyone else notice the models showing a slight chance of a shower this evening for those of us in the far southeastern parts of the LSV?  I'm hoping the frontal passage tomorrow can pair up well with the peak daytime heating instability but looks like it may be a touch late for us down this way.  Should still see some decent rains tomorrow evening, we hope.  Put me in the camp that thinks next week will be hot and dry.  Remarkable consistency in the record highs for next week, with all of them being 97 or 98.  I don't think we reach any but mid 90s for a few days seems doable.  Onward.

52F for low in Lancaster.

Ditto here. Should be another ‘beaut. 

Just went for a nice long walk over lunch here in Harrisburg and was taken aback by how cool it was.  Felt great though.  Classic GFS/Euro model war setting up for next week?  Sign me up.

Low of 57.  Next week looks to bring the real heat, just in time for our annual summer party.  Onward.

I've got a dog. She does a good job of keeping my lawn watered...lol

We've got two and yeah, they certainly do their part haha.  Come the dead of summer is when you can really start to see where their favorite spots are ha.  One of ours is a digger as well.  Trying to keep a nice yard with two dogs and two toddlers is a constant losing battle.
