KamuSnow Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The dewpoint the last few days hasn't been too bad (69 yesterday), I mean not difficult to sweat if you're outside doing stuff, but this morning were back to "ugh" here, at 74. Current temp is 77F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 My low this morning was 73. I thought I saw the dp was supposed to "mix out" but it sure as hell is sitting at 77 with a current temp of 89, and having gone to the store early this morning, it was definitely noticeable... although I suppose I have slowly adjusted to it somewhat.

JTA66 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Today is pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday -- a high of 93F but have since settled back down to 91F. Dews a bit higher at 74F. Mount Holly has already issued Flash Flood watches for tomorrow into Sat evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 So far my high for today has been 93 (#34 since May and #31 for JJA). Currently partly sunny and 92 with some angry cumulus, and a dp. bopping between 76 and 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Survived the week. (I work 4 tens and then have a 3-day weekend when I'm in the field.) Really need to mow but decided I can put it off until tomorrow morning... On one hand, we could use some rain and all these storms popping up appear to be huge, relatively stationary rainmakers, but OTOH, that will make mowing soaked grass in the morning pretty miserable. I just know I'm done being outside in 90° heat for now. Looks like my high was 95.7° at the house today. We shall see what tomorrow brings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Made it to 90F here today, currently 88, dp 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 With today's high of only 86.7 on the VantagePro / 87.3 on the Ambient Station at 89.4 on the poorly sited rooftop Tempest station. We are likely finished with 90 degree days here for the summer of 2021 in East Nantmeal Township. So we should end the summer with 3 days over 90 on the VP2 / only 2 days on the same sited Ambient and 8 days that exceeded the 90 degree mark up on the roof top Tempest Station. A poorly sited station certainly does make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting here contemplating just how early I can start mowing without pissing off the neighbors all that much... Probably best to wait until the sun comes up at least. Haha...years ago I had a neighbor who's cousin was an arborist. He was here on a Saturday cutting things down for us. He returned 7am Sunday morning to clean up and asked if it was too early to fire up the chipper. We told him to wait at least until 8am. This way we'd only piss off the neighborhood but wouldn't feel the need to pack up and move. Enjoy your mow! Only got down to 75F overnight, currently 76F. Vis sat shows some clouds to the west. Hopefully they'll fill in and keep temps somewhat in check today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I had a 75 low this morning and watched the little pop-ups form and go east of me last night. I figured I could hold off okay given they are forecasting flood-watch type of rain over the next couple days. We shall see. Hit 90 about an hour and a half before noon (#35 since May & #32 for JJA) and currently 90, with dp 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radar is picking up some wierd out flow boundaries expanded from all sides of the city. Temp is knocked down to 87 but kicked the dp up to 78.
