Nearly continuous thunder now...winds are starting to howl. You will have more in two days than you had in 1-2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if other people get some even cooler days, any day with a dewpoint below 60 in July is a win in my book. We could also say that the temps are where we want them for the inevitable North Trend. Of course I am not taking any of it too seriously but no hint at all of a major heat wave both in apparent weather and pattern (IMO). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s something to take seriously: today is the 19th day of (astronomical) summer. That means we’re already over 10% of the way to the winter solstice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished with .74" from this event...Mount Joy probably doubled me today as the very worst sort of split Maytown at the last minute. Still, that's a good amount of rain from a single storm. 2 day total is 3.19". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you got me again but hey I'll take it. I thought we were gonna be in for some severe wind potential with the way that line started taking a bow-shaped look upon approach but that never really materialized, at least not here. Thanks for checking on my well being haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this week they're running steam) They might be all summer. Saturday we're busy with our oldest grandson, though. He made the Schuylkill County baseball all star team and has two games.

Voyager Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 We had a decent rainer come through town right when we were leaving for dinner. Got 1.46" out of it in about 45 minutes, and had to wait it out in the Jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 2 days in a row of reducing the rain deficit at MDT. If we get good rain early this coming week, we might be running a rain surplus by next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just grab a cheap gauge to plop in the ground, better than nothing! Yes. For many years my weather investment was $11 - consisted of a garden rain gauge and a window thermometer. Over time, I upgraded each of those until I decided to splurge on my own station. So worth it! At the same time, as nice as it is...it's still a luxury that I feel fortunate to own but let's face it...even for a weenie like myself, it's still far from a necessity in life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 384 map is the coolest of a string of nice nights. No complaints here. Of course there will be some heat at some point, but I really feel if PIT never sees 95 (or MDT never sees 100), we dodged a bullet the way this summer is going elsewhere in the nation. And living in the present and not fantasy land, my DP is in the 50s and will likely remain there all day. Official low at the airport was 54 and weather stations near me went to ~52-53. Good shot at my 6th day this month with a high in the 70s after seeing none last July. Life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
