TheDreamTraveler Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The past couple nights have been so nice. I wish we had more of these nights in the summer instead of it being too hot. We've just been stuck with warmer than average night time lows so often that it sucks now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Another day at MDT today with below normal temperatures. I have enjoyed the temperatures this week so far. Unfortunately, Next week I will not enjoy…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid August to mid September it moves so quickly. Oh no! I have been noticing the difference from late June for several weeks now. I am really missing looking out the windows at 9:20 and realizing it's still not 100% dark outside; almost but not quite. I do not normally miss peak summer light but I am this year. So the darker days ahead will be hard. I have been telling myself to pay more attention in the future and try to enjoy the latest light even more next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralRed Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I went to see the Area Forecast Discussion to see what else I could find out about upcoming heat. I must give the NWS credit for telling me exactly what I wanted to know in their 1:21am update: LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... The extended period will be marked by a trend toward a sultry summer sizzle with hot temperatures and dewpoints in the upper 60s and low 70s. Increased heat and humidity will prompt the chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, but there is no apparent heavy rain threat at this time. Sultry summer sizzle. OK. Not what I want but now I know what's coming. I have been happy to keep the windows closed and wear my bathrobe late at night with temps in the 50s but it's coming to an end. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did here in Williamsport at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @Itstrainingtime....does MDT make 100 next week? 10 days left before it becomes a very rare event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Looks like a week from today we will be looking at another shot of heat and humidity, but I'm not convinced it holds. Overnighters showing typical mood swings and really bouncing around. When you replace ridges w/ troughs....don't panic. Overall theme that I saw was that the NE looks to have some (enough?) troughing around to keep us out of extended heat. CMC and Euro both showing it. If one buys into the GFS....were cooked. Sure have enjoyed this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Even the heat in GFS has been muted the last couple runs. Could be some back door cold fronts to ruin the straight heat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe...sure wouldn't surprise me. Best chance is if we can get dews up in the mid 70s for that to happen. With increasing amounts of darkness now, we'd need high dews I believe so that we don't radiate that well at night. That's the thing about mid to late August heat...even on hot days, it's often more pleasant in the evening with the sun setting earlier. Speaking of radiating, I got down to 56 last night. That's actually the coolest for the summer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly haven't watched a single minute, and as you know, I'm a fairly big hoops fan. I just can't get into it. I've got other things to keep me busy, like watching the Orioles lose some more games. Another nice day today before we start feeling the warmth for sure tomorrow.

I believe their temps are accurate they are just not always representative of most of the area. York (a known cold spot) scored a 53, Lancaster 56. It's truly an HIA thing I believe.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Forgive me while I go off topic for a minute but I'm still running high after watching Penn State wrestling legend David Taylor win his first ever gold medal this morning on a last second takedown! The grit, the guts, the determination.......just everything. What a moment for David, who has been through so much to get to this point. The US wrestling team is having a heck of an Olympics, with still more accolades on the way. I love me some wrestling, the oldest greatest sport!

I don't pay much attention to LNS either, but it's nice to know that we had the same readings. Sometimes I question my station when I see that almost everyone else on here is several degrees cooler at night. I'm not really in an urban area that I'd expect to run warmer. I know that @Mount Joy Snowman should be a little cooler at night, he's in a more conducive area to radiate out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone new comes in, that doesn't present a very friendly environment to start posting if they feel like the members don't even post much at all.

Speaking of the station, it's 74.8 here as I post this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
