Itstrainingtime Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 I know it's not specific to our thread, but as a weather enthusiast I find this stuff fascinating - Wilmington DE officially recorded 1.03" of rain in 5 minutes last evening. That...is incredible. The local NWS office said that amount of rain in that amount of time "happens less than once in 1000 years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Today was pretty nice. Now we move into a week full of the mid-90s (maybe Friday can break it down to the upper 80s ...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point and click is 87-89 for the entire week, so given how the temps usually run several degrees higher, low to perhaps mid 90s sounds about right.

Bubbler86 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Euro still not gung ho on 90's next week in the LSV. Actually matches the GFS with the same thought. If not for the constant under forecasted highs I would wonder but probably will get there for some. Lots of afternoon rain late week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hit 90 once again today. I think that’s the 178th time this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat really started to bother me this weekend. I had thought that I was more than used to it by now after the historic July that we just experienced. For some reason, I could not bear to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'm probably the exception. I don't mind the heat. I like it until Mid September then i'm over it and on to fall and Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 In addition to the heat, CTP is mentioning a few days of heavy showers later in the week. Could be some real hydrology issues in areas that are already water-logged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heat Waves have not been that bad West of the South Mountain range. Not sure of the reason. I just checked HGR's temp and they are at 84 so fairly consistent with what I have here. I do not have any facts in front of me but believe it has been over a week since we hit 90. Edit it is up to 83 here now at noon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lows have been consistently lower as well. That last week in July we got well into the 60's most mornings and I do not think MDT ever got into the 60's. You being over 91 now is crazy.

Bubbler86 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I always break out the Wundermaps when we talk temps. It's interesting. Look in the red circled area which is just to the west or along the South Mountain Chain and 83-84 is common but Lancaster has plenty of 90's but also some 83's and 84's. I am really not sure why I have been staying so cool relative areas to my east recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 You guys probably heard already but the Big 10 has cancelled the season. Not sure why they took so long, now other conferences can cancel and not take all the heat themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showers hopefully give respite from the oppressive heat and could help to "cool" us off a bit as we approach the weekend. If one takes GFS verbatim, it looks downright wet and showery Thurs/Fri.

Yes sir, could be very soggy here in a few days. Might be an interesting month for rainfall totals with me already sitting well over 7" to date.

Itstrainingtime Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 @Bubbler86 Appreciate the temp map, it is fascinating to look at some of the town to town variations.
