Mount Joy Snowman Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 The national low temp for the Lower 48 last night was 32 at Saranac Lake, NY. Outside of the occasional Mt. Washington coup, this is a rare feat for the eastern U.S. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another windows open and fans night with low to mid 50's and maybe an upper 40's. Last one for a bit though. 39-40°F this morning in the Northwest of France 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I just stopped to look closer at the Miami area building that collapsed. The pics I saw this AM looked like a small portion but just saw a security video and two whole sections went down. Its a terrible tragedy. Have to think hundreds are gone including dozens of animal friends. Scary. Had to say something to mention prayers for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streak Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 11 hours ago, Mount Joy Snowman said: Correct, topping out at 100 on the 19th. To answer Sauss's inquiry, we went 93-97-94-96-97 from July 2-6 last year at MDT. On the final day of that heat wave I had a T'storm that dropped 1/2" in ten minutes. Last year set the record for hottest July ever at Harrisburg (avg. temp of 82.2, breaking the 81.8 from 1999), including a record 22 days above 90. Lancaster was also the hottest July on record. Edit: Also the temp never got below 67 for the entire month. I wasn’t sure if I was misremembering, but my memory of last summer was that it felt like a start-to-finish heat wave. Even June and August seemed ridiculously hot but that might have been more an issue with insane humidity than heat. I went for a long, leisurely walk with my elderly dog tonight between 7:40 and 9:00. When we were coming back the garage thermometer showed 67 degrees. It was a glorious evening. Normally I really enjoy the heat but my tail-wagging companion doesn’t do so well in it anymore, so I have a much greater appreciation for these cooler days and nights. (and a newfound dread for the real heat we’re probably going to see soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I thought maybe the humidity (and not just the actual temps) was what made last June and much of August feel so oppressive. July was a double whammy with the record setting heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuts the heatwave in half, lessens its intensity, then provides water relief followed by a very Decent Sat-Mon. @sauss06 will approve. He gets his near 80 and dry for most of the 4th weekend even if you extrapolate it out a bit. A huge improvement from 0Z in my book.

Bubbler86 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Will be going into the heat wave with MDT being about 1.8 or so above normal for the month so June is going to end quite a bit above normal...maybe over 3 or even 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC did pull back from that and its just a "trough" now but still best case I think out of the 3. GFS and CMC have different plans. 6Z GFS high at MDT, for July 4th, was upper 60's to 70 due to rain/clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and a newfound dread for the real heat we’re probably going to see soon) You're right in that the humidity just seemed like it wouldn't quit last year. However, June was within one degree of average and only had three days hit 90. August was three degrees above average, driven primarily by warm nights from the aforementioned humidity. A couple of notes from my spreadsheet for those months, for the few who care ha..... On June 3rd we had a derecho come through in the afternoon from which Reading recorded an 83mph gust. That was also my first 90 degree day of the year. August ended up being a very wet month at my house, with a total of 8.34". On August 3-4, Tropical Storm Isaias passed over the PA/NJ border and brought 5-8" to parts of eastern PA, only 2.3" for me. Some training tropical downpours rolled through on August 7th that brought perhaps some of my heaviest rates ever witnessed, with .5" falling in 5 minutes, .8" in 10 mins, and ~1.4" in 20 mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. This June, though coming with some very comfortable days, has been much warmer than last. We already have 6 90 degree days and may get into double digits for 90's before the month is over. And the low temps last June were much more comfortable overall than this June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm annoying haha. Funny enough, that November actually ended up quite cold at 4.5 degrees below normal and also contained the Thanksgiving slop storm where I got 3.5" of snow (I believe maybe more to the north and west?). Also that's the month where Buffalo received the historic lake effect event of 5-7 feet of snow. I'll stop now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could set up a weather station then put a stove beside it boiling water and proudly report our temps.
