I recalibrated my station after it needed new parts...I have to believe it's accurate as I've been spot on with the Wunderground stations around me. Other odd thing is that I'm SW of Harrisburg, and on most of the hot days the wind direction has been S or SW...coming from the opposite direction of Harrisburg from my location. (mostly blowing straight from the total boondocks of daxx-land in East Prospect) I am not at all questioning your station as you say others are reporting the same. But something is driving it. If you get to 90 you could have close to a double digit temp difference from others in the south part of your county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I didn't take it that you were questioning me - to be honest, I'VE been questioning the readings that I've been posting. It's nice to see that areas around me are representative of my station...but man, there have been times this summer where I've been like "well, this post is going to raise some eyebrows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 HRRR and 3K really focusing on the second line of showers and convection, overnight, for the LSV. Matches the zones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that map is a bit confusing as I see the small strip of normal temps and then they are suggesting that a large area is above normal however it is percentage based probability that their call is right. So people see the reds and think the darker the red, the more above normal but a day at MDT where it is 82 and 62 would constitute a red and be in the 60% while a day of 75 and 54 would not necessarily be blue vs. falling into the 40 (or 30) percent of having been forecasted to be red. Its basically a map that says the GFS is below normal and the Euro and CMC are above so we slightly better chance of above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS, if you compared the 0Z EC with the 12Z, the trend is for cooler and much cooler a bit north of us (compared to 0Z and especially compared to 12Z yesterday.) One day I think the 18Z Temp at Pitt is down 5-6 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First line misses to the north and gets Hazleton to Scranton and the rest of NEPA, and the second line that gets the LSV slides east and gets Reading, Lancaster, and Allentown...and then on to Philly.

canderson Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 That line absolutely died before the mountains. Wow. Voyager might get about - not sure if he’s north or south if Tamaqua and that’s the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I've been watching the radar. It bypassed us to the north, now it's going to slam Lansford to our east. It got dark and a little breezy, but that's it so far...
