The latest information has a band of thick smoke moving into our area Wednesday afternoon. If this pans out, I wouldn't be surprised to see Air Quality Alerts issued. People with respiratory problems will want to watch this closely. www.fox56.com/weather

Heat advisories up for Tuesday - not sure why they didn’t automatically extend through Wednesday. . 

It's the element of surprise. Just like winter snowstorms you go to bed feeling confident that NWS has an advisory out for 1 to 3 in of snow tomorrow. But you wake up tomorrow morning and it's a winter storm warning for 10 to 14 inches.

What concerns me the most today is that Flood Watch.

Sun finally came out. The pics of the damage from those storms last night is wow.  I feel sorry for those people that have damage and the ones with no power. I was lucky where I live and had just basically rain, .36 last night. 

PPl customers without power.

Only 94 here today.

It's looking, at the moment anyway, that any storms my way are going to come after 8pm. I wonder how much energy they'll lose after sunset...

Last night I was watching the radar around 10pm. And those storms near State College were headed my way. Went to bed after 11. Got to bed there was continuous lightning. I thought they're coming. Waited for them, the lightning stopped and then nothing.

I was a little skeptical of hitting a 100 here, after 1.85 rainfall last week. But I was wrong on that. 101 the last 2 days here.
