EasternUSWX Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 96 currently, was only supposed to be 91. Heat continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 WOW at the record heat that affected the area over Thursday and Friday! I was in Chicago from Thursday-Sunday so I didn't get a chance to witness the heat here but Chicago was just as hot if not hotter. When the wind blew it felt like someone held up a blowdryer to my face it was misserable even the overnight temps were impressive. Lets just say I hope I never see 101°F in my lifetime again uggh. We did manage to pick up some rain showers yesterday afternoon but not enough to make a difference in the drought areas, only .31" of rain. I was suprised to have a massive gust front with the line of storms that did roll through yesterday, It not down several trees and some fell on powerlines. I saw that the 00Z GFS longrange was hinting at a decent trough developing and much cooler air temperatures, but that has since changed with the 12Z runs.

PennMan Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Made it to 91° here today...wasn't sure we'd crack 90 after yesterday's rain. More heat looming for the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS seems to have backed off quite a bit on it. We only get to 90 on Friday, rest is more or less run of the mill summer heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU8315 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 NWS seems to have backed off quite a bit on it. We only get to 90 on Friday, rest is more or less run of the mill summer heat. Yeah, increased chance of rain hurts the chance of big heat Friday as the front slides through. That should keep things mostly in the 80s over the weekend. Probably another run into the 90s, though, next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain chances are fantastic. Hope they hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 finally some decent rain here. no rain gauge but id estimate .25" We have really been cashing in here in Port Matilda. My gauge measured .89 to bring up the week's total to 1.70. Hope you get more today, I'm satisfied with what we have. Man, is the garden ever looking good. Unfortunately, our grass is rocketing in the shadier parts of the yard. Oh well, good mulch for the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
