RedSky Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Enhanced threat of severe just added to upstate regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We'll see how things play out the next few hours but today honestly looks almost identical to yesterday. Line forming in western/central PA that will be decaying by the time it reaches SE PA in the evening due to the loss of heating. It may survive longer though as instability is higher than yesterday plus mt holly mentioned that things may take longer to cool off this evening. N and W will have the best shot at severe while 95 may get some outflow winds and a brief heavy downpour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 34 minutes ago, RedSky said: Models have already missed the early activity in the state today. None of them have that complex forming over north central PA at the moment. Development looks to be further east than progged which should get the convection into N and W areas at least and not dissipate like the models had shown previously. Still iffy about SE PA/NJ though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Been sitting at 93F with a DP of 75F. I'm debating if I want to go get the mail or leave it there until November? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 95F/ 73 DP for a heat index of 105F. It's a scorcher. Looks like most of the convection will be limited to NE PA maybe into parts of the LV. SE PA looks to be in the clear today. Just not enough shear to get things going despite the instability.

CoolHandMike Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Work cancelled tomorrow due to it being the 4th consecutive day of this heat. Thank goodness. Today was brutal. Hoping now to get a storm to lower the temps a bit, but not seeing anything local on the radar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Looks like my 95 was it for the high and I'm down to 89 wih dp down to 72. Radar is still clear so I guess the past couple days took all the moisture out of the air and with today's "dry", it may actually get a little hotter tomorrow since there shouldn't be as much energy needed to remove the ground moisture this time (unless something forms overnight). There is a blob and line of convection back over Pittsburgh but that looks like it may take some time to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something did just bubble up around State College though. For all we know, if that line makes it over the mountains, it might be a 3 am fireworks show.

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 2 minutes ago, RedSky said: It's perfectly timed to obscure the Perseid shower I don't even bother looking for the annual meteor showers around here anymore. It's always either rainy or some deck of high clouds suddenly appear to block the sky. Thankfully i got chance to see the Perseids during an August work trip in Colorado about 35 years ago (at ~8200 ft altitude where the lodge was). The whole sky there was literally awesome at night. "Dark sky" was a misnomer because it was all Milkway and everything else, with a sprinkle of continual Perseids. I did pop out to see what will be a setting crescent moon in a pretty clear sky though. The critters are making a racket and the katydids are officially here making more noise than the crickets. Temp is "down to" 84 with dp 74. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind if that line or the one behind it gave us some rain at least. Got a total of 0.26" the last 2 nights. Not complaining, it cooled things off nicely 2 nights in a row, but we could handle a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Made it up to 88.7 on the VP2 - last 90+ was way back on June 30th/ But did touch 89.2 on Ambient and up on the roof the Tempest did hit 90.7 for the 7th time this summer (roof mounting can get me my 90's!)

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Have already hit a 90 just after 10:30 this morning (#29 since May), with a low of 74. Am currently @90 with a mixed-out dp of 69 (much better than the mid-upper 70s earlier this week, which probably also included "burning off" the moisture from the antecedent rain at that time). May hit the mid-90s earlier today but will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
