Voyager Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 23 minutes ago, mahantango#1 said: Why does it seem its been warmer some time in the middle and northern part of the state? Williamsport had official high of 92 yesterday while harrisburg could only muster a 90 for the high. Like I been saying I have a micro climate here in the summer...but not in the winter. Everyone questions my my thermometer readings but I think they are accurate. Also the micro climate issue example: I planted sweet corn on May 21 the packet said 80 days till mature. which would bring it being ready on August 10. Well the corn was ready on The August 1st. We have had 2 meals of corn so far. Interesting question. It seems my (our) afternoon highs are higher than some of our friends to the south. My overnight lows run cooler, though. I just looked and it's 63 in Tamaqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 63 for a low. What a stretch of beautiful weather. Low humidity, normal or BN temps (here). Over a week of this now before it gets broken up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Low of 69 here. To me, the big story the next five days or so is the unrelenting humidity. Just brutal. But as is often the case with such an airmass in place, we should see near-daily chances for storm activity, albeit mostly of the sporadic nature.

CarlislePaWx Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Why is there no heat advisory issued?? Today is easily going to be worse than last week's 3-days in the mid nineties. At 10:00am I'm up to 86 with a dew point of 75 and a heat index of 94. All we need is a heat index of 100-105 for 3 hours. Maybe they think the dew points will drop back into the 60's this afternoon as the hottest temperatures begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're thinking the showers will keep temps down during the normal hottest part of the day? that's my guess anyhow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one for Adams and parts of Lancaster and York. They don't think we see 100 values for 2 consecutive values (the necessary criteria, apparently). It's absolutely miserable. 85/71 at 11 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 88 at home already. This will be day #24 to reach 90. MU really bullish on rains tomorrow and Saturday- most areas get around 1" with some areas getting 3-4" with flash flooding issues. #itstrainingtime. I'll be back in the historic district tomorrow.

Festus Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Now that we are officially in the humidity soup for awhile, what's the highest dewpoints y'all have ever recorded? A Philadelphia site says their highest was 82 in 1995 while a site named Cumberland Valley Weather says their highest was 85 in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Quite a large discrepancy in DP's forecasted between the GFS and NAM. Nam 5-10 higher all weekend getting into the mid to upper 70's. GFS never goes above 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's usually about the upper limit for these parts. I'm currently sitting at 91/74 here in the lowlands of West Hempfield Township. Yuck. Edit: I did find a note I made from August 13, 2016 saying I hit a temp of 98 with a dewpoint of 80 on my home station, for a heat index of 119 haha.

Bubbler86 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 A few 80 DP's on Wunderground. Not sure if legit. Also one 39 DP. Someone's father never explained to them that air conditioning the neighborhood is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I don't know what the highest DP I've ever experienced numbers-wise, but it was during a tropical storm in 2001 in Texas. I remember walls having water run down due to the humidity at the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
