Thank you so much!!! I appreciate all the folks that post in this forum and others!!

Happy Independence Day to all!!! Well while today will still be sweltering it will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday. Real relief arrives tomorrow as temperatures fall back to near normal levels for early July with highs in the mid-80's. We will see temperatures fall to below average by Monday and continue through the middle of the week. Shower chances start to increase this evening, but I think the best chances for rain will be after fireworks. Rain chances really increase Sunday night into Monday morning. Some spots could see between 1 to 2 inches of much needed rain.

Too many folks don't know what a great tool that is to get past the junk we don't care about - glad you can mute me Voyager!! That said I am only 7 miles from Lancaster County so like you I cross over....

From Ryan Maue x feed on the NYT article: "It's official: without climate change, the ongoing Eastern United States heat wave is "virtually impossible" Climate scientists performed an autopsy of this week's weather and determined that it could not have happened in the past 500-years w/o the burning of fossil fuels" Q. Can the they do an autopsy the hottest decade on record the 1930's and explain that one for us too? RM. Their study started in 1950, so anything that happened before would not be relevant." LOL!!

East Nantmeal current temp is 92.7 the high has been 93.0. This is the 3rd consecutive day I have reached 90 degrees. This marks only the 8th "heatwave" I have recorded in my 23 summers here in EN since 2004. Of note my poorly sited rooftop Tempest has gone 95.4 / 98.2 / 94.8 the last 3 days vs my VP Pro 2 with 93.0/94.8/91.0
