MGorse Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It is double awful out there today. At least I had a downpour early last evening, but this is an impressive stretch with such high dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 3 hours ago, KamuSnow said: Sounds refreshing, sort of! This morning is the second day in a row where the temp at midnight here was 80F and the low 77F before sunrise. Yesterday made it to 95F, thinking between 95 - 97 today, might as well go for 97. I find this weather easier to deal with when you can see some relief coming, but so far the relief is a little too out of reach to start getting excited about. Some slight cooling early in the week which will help, but it looks like it might be the end of next week before something like 80's for highs and 60's for lows happens here. Saw a couple of meteors around 4:30 this am, between some broken overcast. Nothing remotely refreshing about this humidity. Hope you put out a kid pool for the squirrels they can use it. Went to an open field and gazed for only half an hour at 2:30am and counted 11 meteors not impressive. What was impressive were the mosquitoes, went too light with the bug spray they chased me in. The woods help to cap the temps around here but you pay for it with skeeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 90.7F ! Shower chances reduced to 30% is double nuts. I want to go dry now this weekend to feel like I experienced historic heat humidity and dry first half of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The last time I recall humidity/DPs like this was Aug 2003. We were also coming off an El Nino that winter. Don't know if there's any correlation or is it more driven by Atlantic SSTAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need to get a cover for it to keep the night shift critters out. I think we'll just wait for it to cool off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. We were at Musikfest last night, and left to head back to Tamaqua. That light show kept us entertained all the way home, which is nearly an hour long ride. It was so beautiful that the wife and I both took videos of it. She while I was driving, and me for a few minutes (after I found a wide open parking lot) up by Northwestern Lehigh High School in New Tripoli....

dizzy9479 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Wow -- low of 83 at PHL and a low of 83 at ACY -- any idea where these stack up on the all-time minimum low list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 83 would all tie the highest minimum ever recorded at Philadelphia, it was also 83 on 7/23/2011 & 7/24/2010. Temp records at Philadelphia go back to 1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was literally like 3 separate severe storms all in one. To the point where you're done seeing that for the rest of the year. I was in the bullseye of lightning density for the last 24 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophisticated Skeptic Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 temps never got below the low to mid 70's after each cell. (also something i've never seen before during the summer here, usually gets down in the 60's) No cool pools aloft. The higher temps could of helped keep the destabilization in place.

RedSky Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Worst heat wave EVER. Not for duration but sheer intensity. and i thought the worst of summer was over when we moved into August 87.1F and pure sweat outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take 105 with no humidity...compared to 90 with dew's in the mid 70's. Nice video, Quaker. I had like 5 very close CTG's just like that.
