Bubbler86 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If we are really going to have an overly active Tropical Season its may have to pack it into a month or two. I think July is getting punted. One can say we had the earliest F storm ever so I guess if we have extra non threatening storms it could be considered active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS op and ens are looking "moist" in eastern half of the country. Not sure based on 500 flow how "moist" it really gets, but yards would approve of 12z's look if verified.

paweather Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Saw this from the Capital Weather Gang: Great Lakes water temperatures are off the charts. The average water temperature of Lake Michigan was recently 75 degrees and in the upper 70s to near 80 in lakes Erie and Ontario - the warmest on record. Some of the lakes are between 75 and 80 degrees and could warm more in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article does comment that last year at this time one of the people interviewed needed a wet suit to swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North of our location has been hot - in fact quite a few cities in the NE are having their hottest summer on record. I'm assuming that hot weather has extended into the upper midwest as well.

I do not think it has been all that hot here. Great Lakes in the 80's is quite warm. Hard to be enthusiastic about going into that water though.

Some days it really keeps us cooler (like yesterday when we only got to 84 and sitting at just 74 right now) but during the winter it has given me no advantage in the two years I have been here now with the majority of storms going by to our west. Doh-Just saw it is in your footer. About 20 feet higher than me. I am at the side and bottom of a 2000'+ mountain so can get over 2000' in less than 5 min for quick checks on the "snow up there" during the winter.

I had no idea that you had that much elevation - for whatever reason I thought that area might have been in the 400-500' range. I'm at 447' here. No wonder you get all of the snow...

I live near where the word Pen Mar is printed in blue at the top. The red marker is where I can get to within 5 or 10 min and it looks like it is close to 1800 feet as the peek of Quirack Mountain, where it is over 2000', is off limits due to the government broadcasting towers and Raven Rock/underground Pentagon.

We've had our heat at times in the past, even getting up to 102 way back in 2011, but generally, most heat seems to get stopped at the Blue Mountain. Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, and Allentown can get easily into the mid 90's while we barely make it to 88-89 degrees. Now in the winter, sometimes we get the inversions where normally frigid Hazleton can be as much as 20 degrees warmer than we are in the early morning. I'd scrape frost off my car at 30 degrees only to arrive at work and it would be in the mid to upper 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider your locale, just knowing generally not exact, more "mountainy" than mine since I am at the edge of this specific range/chain. If I look SW, W or NW I just see flat land for a lot of miles until the next range which I guess is officially the Appalachian Range though the Appalachian Trail goes right beside us here in the Blue Ridge/South Mountain Range. Its all Appalachians I guess. That area to my West is known as "The Great Valley". 30-40 miles between ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked to see if I had a wind shift that would account for an earlier temp plateau today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
