Poured at the jobsite here near York at some point, I was busy all day so I didnt get to check outside or radar much but I snapped this picture around 6:15pm.  Pretty sweet clouds ripping off the top of that mountain.  Not sure how much rain I got but JPs report of 4" in exton says I got a decent bit.

The Davis says 4.77 inches and a max rain rate of 10.11/hr here in Pottstown (record rate since records began for my station) Commute from Green Lane was hell, took two hours. Had to turn around several times. rt 100 and 663 both closed in spots. Perkiomen, Unami, Manatawny and Swamp Creek all over flood stage.

We didn't get these humidity breaks last July

The big heat signal for late next week has collapsed, 2018 this is not.

 

I don't think this year has been that bad. (heat humidity) Plus, we had some nice rounds of rain/storms.

Birds training camp to start shortly, August is approaching, shorter days and critters have started to crank their tunes. Before you know it the winter predictions will begin to pop up. For now, no 95+ temps (no week+ long heat waves) and our fair share of T- Storm chances...not too shabby.

Made it to 90 yesterday and by that late afternoon, it was blast-furnace feeling as the dews were creeping up ahead of the front.  Different story this morning with the dp @ 56 and current temp at 71.

Already 10th place on hottest July and now the GFS forecast is 91, 95, 96, 94, 102, 103, 103, 104, 100, 93

Bam like that this July will easily be hotter than last

 

I did a search for past data for PHL and apparently the last time we hit ("official") triple digits in the city was 7/7/2012 (101), so it has been awhile.  Seems that whenever we have antecedent wet periods, it takes really sustained high temps to dry the surface enough to get to a triple digit high.

Yeah yesterday was suppose to be the most comfortable going off the Friday forecasts but ended up hotter.
