JTA66 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've already matched yesterday's high of 93F, how much will I tack on from here?? I see there's a severe watch to our SW, with a little luck maybe some of that can find it's way into our region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Have now hit 95 (although still haven't matched or exceeded my highest of the summer yet, which was 96 on 6/30/21). The few earlier wispy clouds have disappeared and now have all blue sky. Dp is 70. Some stuff has been firing west of Harrisburg the past couple hours.

CoolHandMike Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Wow, the radar returns fell off a cliff for Berks at least. Thought for sure we'd get some boomers this afternoon but I guess there just isn't enough instability in the air to support any big storms near me at the moment. The cloud cover is nice for a change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Looks like the 96 was my high and I'm now getting some incoming clouds but am still partly sunny and "down to" 92, with a dp 71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Besides Mt. Pocono only "Mt." East Nantmeal again escaped the 90 degree mark - high today only could top out at 89.2 (although the roof mounted station did hit 92.3)....of note today was the 3rd straight 90+ day at KMQS airport marking their 1st Heat Wave of the year!!....that said still zero heat waves this year at either KPTW Pottstown airport or East Nantmeal - PHL has now recorded their 5th heat wave of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Through yesterday even with our recent hot streak we are still running exactly 1.0 degrees below normal for August. This morning's low while the warmest of the month at only 70.5 - while well above our average low of 63.3 for today is still well below the warmest min temp for the day which was the 75.4 back in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 83F at noon today, so much better than the last few days. Still humid as &%#£ with a DP of 72F My forecasted high today is 88F, but with a good cloud deck overhead I hope to stay in the low to mid 80’s. So glad the AC is still working, wasn’t sure if it would make it through yesterday…lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Wasn't sure if I would do it, but after a low of 73 this morning, I did tap 90 just before noon today (#30 of 90+ since May). It's currently 89 and partly cloudy with dp bopping between 72 and 73. SPC has our area in a "Marginal Risk" (but hope I can get a little rain in to top off after the past couple days of heat).

SPC has our area in a "Marginal Risk" (but hope I can get a little rain in to top off after the past couple days of heat). 30 - 90F degree days is the average for Philly so you'll probably reach above average. We'll most likely hit 90F several more times before we're through this year. Looks like we'll end this heat wave in a anticlimactic sort of way. Radar is pretty much dead. Predicted low here is 63F so A/C will catch a break at sunset... 85F / DP 71F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 @MacChump Thank you for the Mt. Jo recommendation! Went at 7am yesterday and was one of the best views I've ever seen! On a weather related note, current temp is 86F. Very excited for tomorrow's lower temps and lower dew points too. Tired of the heat and can't wait until Autumn. Also, the tropics seem to be heating up. Maybe we'll get a storm to move up this way later towards fall? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Watched the radar as the front started moving through between 4 am - 5 am, although the returns evaporated, so didn't get any precip from it. However saw the dp drop from ~71/72 down to the current 59, which is pretty dramatic. Temp was in the low-mid 70s and did a corresponding drop with the front crossing, and is now down to 68 at post time, with a deck of clouds overhead. I saw that further west of here in central/western PA, the current temps are in the mid-50s. ETA (1 hour later) - I got chance to pop out to the back and saw the plant foliage had been wet and was drying, although whatever came through this morning was not enough to tip the bucket. Still I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Made it up to 84 today with amazing "low" humidity for August - only in the mid-upper 30% range. Currently 82 and mostly sunny with some cirrus advecting in and a dp of 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The moisture is already returning. High 84 here today the dewpoint got as low as 50. Current dewpoint back up to 58 and winds switching around light to the east northeast. On Water Vapor map you can see the moisture waiting in the wings south of DC out to the Ohio Valley all the way south to the Gulf Coast all of this is heading in this direction as an upper air low and trough digs down through Saint Louis. We will have to track what becomes of Tropical Storm Fred's moisture field over the next few days as the flow is south-southwesterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 So nice outside right now--I can't remember the last time we had such low humidity, but according to my weather station, the last time we saw any dewpoints under 60°F was ten days ago. Looking forward to working outdoors this week as well. Can we please be done with the Florida weather for this summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Now a forecast of a wet week with showers every day maybe. It was a dry forecast 48hrs ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
