PennMan Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 The sunset and thunderstorm cloud combination this evening is awesome. 7th 90° day of the year here, and the warmest at 93°. Could easily see 5 90+ days in a row this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily see 5 90+ days in a row this week. I want to know where the **** the rain magnet is buried around here so I can dig it up and move it. We have vivid lightning and a downpour here. My tomato plants' new leaves shrivel up as soon as they open. A definite sign of too much water. Not much I can do. I put fungicide on all my plants last night, counting on a run of 4-5 days of dry and 90+. I might get four now. ****. We really need a week-long dry spell.

Yeah I saw that storm last night and figured you weren't too pleased with it. I was glad nothing hit my garden in State College. Muggy morning with no wind here. Saw Ft. Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County only dropped to 76...that's pretty impressive considering they are often a colder location in the Susq. Valley. I'll be interested to see how warm we get just SE of the Allegheny Front tomorrow through Friday...CTP mentioning additional compressional warming thanks to NW winds. Seems like a good opportunity for UNV to hit the mid-90s for a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Our Tomato plants are so big, their knocking the wire cages i have around them over. We had to stake our wire cages. We had to go to the Harrisburg Senators game last night because it was Media day for the Harrisburg RBI 2 baseball teams and Softball team my daughter plays on, man it was just brutal hot there! Stayed 4 innings said screw it, went home swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, this is my 8th year, and I'm still learning a lot. So...anyone think Saturday looks interesting? Seems to be a lot on the side of a severe weather event.

JamieOber Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Line of storms out in Western Pa. I know I've been futzing about how we always seem to get rain but that radar is a big surprise. I didn't think the storms would be that organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Jamie, Harrisburg and environs can use the rain you've been getting. We're pretty dry as we missed most all the storms in the past few weeks. So, send some of those showers down this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, send some of those showers down this way. I am sitting at about 2.5" over the last 30 days and about an inch and a half of that came in two quick storms Have not seen NWS State College make any mention yet but I believe that Harrisburg tied its record high low yesterday at 76 degrees and broke record high low this morning at 79 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the rain, sure, but as the map above shows there are no places in PA that are truly dry and a lot of PA has been quite wet. Not just up here. Also, looking further ahead there's a lot less worry about drought than say 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you'll be sticking to PBR, in which case you should be able to stay adequately hydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents need the rain desperately - they did get 1.25" Sunday night into Monday but that's 1" more than they have had since mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped us from 91-92 to the low 80s within about 30 minutes and made for a pleasant evening outside. I think we will break above 95 today, at least down in Bellefonte. Yesterday's high was 94.
