Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Tied my high of 97 from yesterday but did it about 1 hour earlier than yesterday. Starting to see some cumulus clouds popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 94F/75DP. Getting an occasional cloud now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 I have some clouds developing, made it up to 99 but has now dropped back to 98 here. Have to see if I can make another push to make the triple digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just hit 98 here (broke my yesterday's record for the year so far). Puffy cumulus everywhere now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Back up to 98 again. Have to give PECO credit that everything has been holding so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Some isolated thunderstorms are popping up in PA as many places are beginning to reach their convective temperatures. Any of these storms could be capable of becoming strong with CAPE values nearing 5000 j/kg, the LI nearing -10, and mid-level/low level lapse rates plenty high enough. There is enough of a cap to limit too many storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just did a little reading on dewpoints and found a couple of interesting stats. The highest recorded dp was in Saudi Arabia, at 95. Air temp was also 95, which equates to a heat index of 161. The lowest dp was in an Australian desert, at -21 degrees. The air temp. was 93. RH was 1%. That'll dry your skin out! Currently 90 here, with a DP of 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Unfortunately there is a burgeoning heat signal for a lengthy heat wave late next weekend and in early August, yes the weeklies are all crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Ended up with 98 as my high for the day (and for the season so far). It just dropped to 88 as I was typing this, about 15 mintues past sunset. I do see the clusters of storms to the NW & SW on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenmsav6810 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Interesting, the tops the 160 year old sycamores and poplars are starting to blow about. High was 98F today. Hi Barometer was yesterday around 1:30pm at 30.78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Temp down to 86F, I can see lightning to the north. A breeze is kicking up, looks like some sort of outflow boundary passing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Sitting here drooling watching the storms form and approach knowing the end of the crematoria heat wave is at hand Sitting at 89.5F with AC was NO FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Convection really beginning to fire up. Flash flood and Severe Thunderstorm warning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Models completely missed this convection. Even the new 0z NAM didn't initialize correctly. Getting pounded with heavy rain and lightning currently. I mean, like wow this is a total whiff on all the models, especially the CAMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pressure below 29.8, 80% RH and 98F temp.... its like accidentally discovering plutonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
