dvdmgsr Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 91/70 at KUNV, with a heat index of 98. In other words, quite comfortable! Yesterday it hit 100 here, but it didn't reach 91/70 until 12:15 PM. Today we were there at 10:35 AM. Should be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Okay please tell me something is wrong! My weather station reads: 98 degrees with a heat index of 122!?! Probably need to calibrate your dew point. I had to knock off a few points from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU8315 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It'll be interesting to see if Altoona gets up that high again. Pretty sure two consecutive days at 100+ would be unprecedented for that station. It's def gonna make a good run at it but it may come up short today given what appears to be higher dewpoints on tap for today making it a lil tougher to max out the temps. They were in the mid 60s yesterday afternoon and i'm thinking that and the WNW flow yesterday downsloping off the Laurels might've helped stations like AOO and UNV bust into the triple digits. Either way it'll be feelin just as bad or worse than yesterday. I agree with Brian on the mid range. The weather we're seeing today through maybe tomorrow or so likely will be the highest temp wise of the summer, but we have the rest of the month and August to go yet so i'm not gonna be totally banking on that yet. I'm more concerned about the precip trends for the region. So far for our region it's more of a short term drought with the precip deficits being more recent, so it's not necessarily hurting the water table that much but it certainly is on things like the lawn and plants/crops. Newest drought monitor does show D0 centered over most of the north central and a smattering of D0 conditions here and there over the southeast part of the state. The national map has that area dilineated for agricultural effects (not hydrological). So if we can get in some decent rain soon we would be alright. Unfortunately, it is already typically a pretty dry time of the year as it is. There are some scattered thunderstorm chances next week but nothing that looks widespread enough to do much right now. Hopefully we can get something like a rogue MCS moving over the area to alleviate some of the dryness. D0 went from about 20% of the state to almost half in a week. We are very lucky we got so much rain in April and May, or we would probably talking drought. Also, just went from 90 to 98 in Altoona in one hour. Amazing what a little wind shift and 10 MPH breeze can do. Only time we've had back-to-back 100+ days in Altoona was August 3rd/4th, 1930. Not to mention that we broke the all-time max min by four degrees - only dropped to 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festus Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Lancaster Airport showed 97/77 for and index of 112. Took a screenshot of that observation so when I tell my kids "back in the day" stories 20 years from now, I'll have evidence! Just flat out ridiculous outside.

OHSnow Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Reached 101 in Altoona yesterday... hottest July temperature since records began in 1926. Already 99 there today -- 102 to 104 seems doable, especially with a nice downsloping breeze off the mountains. Pretty incredible for an elevation of about 1500 feet. BTW, Johnstown (at almost 2300') only dropped to 77 last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdmgsr Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 99/59 at KUNV at 12:55 PM -- didn't hit 99 until 2:15 PM yesterday, and the dewpoint was 68. Breeze is picking up. A new all-time record is definitely shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Right now at Capital City Airport (Harrisburg): 100/75 Heat index of 113 At KMDT: 98/76 Heat index of 112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 No big. I just like looking up historic weather events and wanted to see how bad the one you mentioned was. Actually, i did have the year correct. On 7/15/95, Philly hit 103 for the day. I'm not sure why the temperatue at KMDT was comparitively lower for that date, but i definitely recall 100+ heat (generally speaking) during that period of time. I'll try and find a link when i get a chance. 97 now with a fair amount of CU overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmister Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 100 again at KUNV as of 2:15! Wow! I pulled this screenshot off a cool, free program called weatherscope. Black numbers are air temps, white are dewpoints, green are HIs all from 2pm obs. I highly recommend for current obs and also you can use it to load up observations from years ago.
