Never should have happened in the first place.Somebody should have spoke up.

Yes I agree too thank you.

This snowflake just wrapped up day three of mulching in 100+ degree heat. Now about to head home, throw my catfish gear and bait in my truck and heading on down to lake Aldred to catch me some monster flatties on this old school true summer night. Living the snowflake lifestyle this weekend and loving it.

Continuous LEMPs being picked up on my AM frequencies. The flash rate tonight should be intense if we can hold on to some of this stuff until the sun sets.

Mid level surface

You're only going to pretend to believe people who support your virtues and that's where it ends for a dirtbags like you. The fact that he said that you need 5000" to make a big difference completely discredits, anything that he would ever try to tell me. Maybe someday you and others ideological low lifes on the forum will learn that its become obvious to decent folk without their heads stuck up their ideological a**s that you're just speaking through emotion, ideology and virtue, It's tremendously f****** annoying to people that aren't f****** d*****bags. Now, do me a favor buddy and go f*** yourself and your mother along with all the other people that constantly think they need to spout of the same stupid f****** talking points every time the temperature spikes. Plenty of dbags over in the MA that will gladly applaud you for being a the quintessential definition of a dbag.

Stay in school kids get good grades.

From the porch, i'm laying mulch at today. Not sure how accurate it is.But it's definitely worse than yesterday.

I just had to make way for the local porta john for a heat related blowout, if you know what I mean. It must have been a hundred and forty degrees inside that f****** thing. That turned my day real s***** quick no pun intended.

I think it hit exactly 100°F here in Mechanicsburg, but i'm not sure. I'm getting through it alright. I'm drenched in sweat, but i've been keeping up on my electrolytes, and using my backpack blower to fan myself off at times. Looking forward to jumping in the pool for the first time this summer when I get home around nine o'clock.

Yes, indeed. The thought for my post post was inspired by yours.

If I remember correctly, we do have someone here that was also at Griffiths air force base in Rome, New York, July 22 to 25 1999. That's as hot is i've ever been and probably ever will be. At this age my body would not be able to tolerate what we had to endure at that festival. 110°F+ on that endless tarmac from hell with almost no shade or working bathrooms for 4 days and hot nights. Looking back at it as an older adult, all the organizers for that festival should have been imprisoned. Water and food was nearly impossible to find, and the price for a bottle of water was over $13.00 and $15.00+ for a hot dog or a slice of pizza by day 3. It was a four day event during a heat wave that no one was allowed to bring food or drinks through .

I was just thinking to myself about the corn crop. The fields aren't going to look the same after next week. I'm going to go out on a limband say that Pennsylvania agriculture is looking down the barrel of a season, that could end up more disastrous. than 1930 or 1999 by a long shot.

Generally we dry out after the main vegetative cycle is over. Drying out like this while things were in their main vegetative stage isn't something we see a whole lot, and it's going to be a lot worse then if it were later. It also may not be as bad for many of you as what i'm witnessing here, i've been missed by almost everything over the last a few weeks.

I just took a walk i've been trying to avoid to assess edaphic stress on the lower layers.. This is another dire situation for our farmers, especially rubus field's without irrigation. BIosemiotic abortion has begun in all rubus and that won't be reversed even with rain at this point.

Hopefully not your tomatoes. The radar is actually starting to fill in and develop some taller echoes at the moment. Hopefully we can get some of those into our area today.

Well, at this point it's getting a little out of hand. We really need to get some rain, leading up to this, or it's going to be problematic for plants, animals and humans alike. The herbaceous and ground layer is already exhibiting some edaphic stress in my area. , especially along road and highway verges.

This is the first time that i've been able to access the forum in over 24 hours. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to post this without another error. Has anyone reported the bad gateway to admin ?

My kind of weather. Let's do this

I mean, the NWS very well could be smoking crack. I'm going to keep my hope alive because we do really need the rain . Maybe us local guys need to get together for a powwow and rain dance. I'll bring the brownies.

We had more than enough cape around today to spark off storms and still do. Looks like an inversion problem to me.

Just to be clear, i'm speaking of tornado genesis, not of severe weather itself.That possibility is very much still there.

There's still time for things to happen. The overlap of surface vorticity and cape that they spoke of yesterday looks to be in jeopardy, to me.

Funday Monday. Stay safe out there, fellas . - Remove Highlighting -- -- Discussion containing changed information from previous version are highlighted. -- 430 FXUS61 KCTP 220840 AFDCTP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 440 AM EDT Mon Jun 22 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Level 2/5 severe T-storm risk expanded over the southern tier of central PA for this afternoon and evening && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Scattered severe thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall are possible across the southern tier/third of central PA this afternoon and evening && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Scattered severe thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall possible across the southern tier/third of central PA this afternoon and evening Steady warm advection rain has expanded across the northern tier early this morning. This leading edge rain is likely tied to 850mb wind max downstream of dampening mid level shortwave trough/remnant MCV in the Ohio Valley. Hires guidance focuses mean QPF in the 0.50-0.75 inch range to the north of I-80 through 18Z with local rainfall amounts possibly exceeding 1 inch by early afternoon. Attention shifts to the south this afternoon and evening as a warm front will lift north of the MD line to a position somewhere between I-80 and US-22. Sfc dewpoints are projected to surge into the upper 60s to the south of the warm front where some cloud breaks should allow for at least modest destabilization. The moderately sheared and conditionally moist/unstable convective environment should promote scattered t-storm ignition into peak diurnal heating. The initial storm development is expected to evolve into forward propagating clusters with a strong to locally damaging wind threat. As convection intercepts the northward moving warm front over the southern tier of CPA, locally backed flow and more favorable low level shear may support the development of at least transient supercells with some tornado potential. SPC has expanded the level 2/5 slight risk to include the entire southern tier/third of CPA (areas near and south of US-22) along with corresponding severe wind and 2% tornado probs. Heavy rainfall will also be a concern with pwat values between 1.5 and 2 inches. This is around the 95th percentile for this time of year and would support intense rain rates perhaps as high as 2-3"/hr. A warm cloud depth in excess of 11,000 feet and tall, skinny CAPE profiles also support a heavy rain signal. WPC has maintained a level 2/4 slight risk for excessive rainfall (ERO) over roughly the southern third of the forecast area where isolated instances of flash flooding will be possible, particularly in training/repeat storms over urban areas. The two limiting factors going against a more considerable flash flood threat are the ongoing dryness/drought conditions focused over the LSV and fairly progressive storm motions. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=CTP&issuedby=CTP&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&highlight=on&glossary=1
