The water table is around 300ft deep but has lots of fractures to enable stream flow even in the driest of summer. Plus Armstrong Industries tests a lot of their drought-resistant corn varieties here in the county.

Interesting.

94 here @ 4pm.

[Eskimo Joe]

Talk about getting trolled. KPHL may not reach 90 today because of a wind off the Delaware River/marine layer!

Excessive Heat Warning in effect -- but only for Thursday. For some reason the NWS isn't as gung-ho on Friday...

Perhaps Binghamton, but State College has 'em up for Thursday AND Friday here.

Currently 93.9 here after a high of 94.8 earlier.

They look gung-ho to me:

Friday: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 100. Heat index values as high as 111. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Anything popping out toward Harrisburg? I guess all the radars aren't reporting to the internetz.

I was referring to NEPA -- They have 97 Thu, but actually dropping to 96 Fri.

Not sure exactly where you are, but the GFS has KAVP 6 degrees coolers than KPHL both days (NAM is 10) and Friday slightly cooler than Thursday.

So long as my Redwood back home remains well watered, it will continue to love this weather. The Sequoia, not so much...

Yeah, by quite a bit. This is the first really hot day of the year... I need to remember when it gets this awful outside to wear shorts in and change later.
