Central PA Summer 2020: Hoping The Heat Makes a Hasty Retreat

Eastern half of PA misses the swoosh of flooding rains but still comes up .5-1.5"" this weekend 1-4" from the 'Cane or 'Cane influenced rains.  That is some serious East Coast flooding there.   The Cape and LI would probably have terrible surge depending on tide times.

Pretty incredible how the area of 2"+ curves around you and Cashtown...crazy.

Hit 94 and still a few hours to go. Probably get to 96. 

I've been holding steady at 93 for 2 hours. Interesting to see what you reach.

We did not go above 88 but are still there.  The Great Valley does the dry folks in again as to that curve.   Rain is getting close.

Looks like a pretty decent slug of rain and imbedded storms setting up for the LSV later on roughly from the turnpike south, while diurnal convection fires in NW and northern PA. The D1 beat continues to live on here it would appear... as AOO-UNV looks like they're going to miss yet another widespread rain opportunity tonight. CTP shared these a little bit ago. Barely 0.5-1.5" of rain in the last 30 days right square in the middle of PA. I'd be curious what a 60 day looks like, cuz most of June was just about as dry here.

TS Isaias will definitely need to be watched closely for the eastern seaboard as we get into early next week. 12z Euro is much slower/somewhat NW than the 12z GFS (imagine that). Ensemble guidance from both the Euro and GFS seemed to indicate the eastern half of PA could be in line for effects from the western side of the system as the center comes up and curves NE. Heavy rain (and not necessarily a lot of wind) running up through especially from the Sus River eastward in PA is pretty standard boilerplate for a curving tropical system that essentially runs up or just off the coast. Timing of the system and the approaching trough that will eventually curve the storm up will certainly ensure plenty of uncertainty on forecast track for the next few days. Not to mention the storm is currently tangled up in Hispaniola which could pose even more timing/track issues as the storm is trying to redevelop it's center and move generally toward the Bahamas.

More rain coming this weekend but Euro and GFS both moved away from providing most of PA major tropical relief. 

Yes, I saw that. It seemed odds slightly favored a close whiff...if memory serves correctly a lot of tropical cyclones end up east of what was modeled as they get closer to our latitude. Even at the DE/MD beaches their have been evacuations over the years anticipating a significant impact only to see the storm venture a little further offshore. 

This book has more chapters to go so we'll see if the pattern allows the storm to tug inland a bit.

Yep, if it does not drive inland before the Outer Banks it usually just keeps going east.  Need the tug or a block to do a Hazel like loop-de-loop.

It really seems as if you need a Charleston SC to Wilmington NC landfall to get the remnants into central PA.

That’s fine imo.   Too much at one time doesn’t do any good.   Especially here at the course 

I just wanted something in the 2-4" range to put a real dent in this.  another 1" rain will not help unless we get several more in fairly quickly succession (might help your grass but not the water ways that are drying up). That pond at Red Run is terrible right now.

It's a nice A/C saving 75 at lunchtime. 

Cannot imagine not running the AC today.

At noon I have already hit the forecast high of 81. It’s also incredibly muggy. 
 

I weeded this am and everything is dying. It’s sad. 

81 here as well. Feels gross out.
