ChescoWx Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 We could do no better than 89.3 yesterday in East Nantmeal which ended our 90 degree streak at just 1 day. So at least here in East Nantmeal no heat waves this year....and none since July 19-21, 2020. However, the KMQS Airport did report 4 straight days over 90 during this hot streak. Good chance at some much needed t-storms across the County today. Our farmers and gardeners will appreciate any and all rainfall since last Monday the 18th. Our record high for today is 96 degrees set back in 1921. The record low is 47 degrees set back during the Bicentennial celebration in 1976. Record daily rainfall is the 2.00" that fell today back in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Now have tapped 90+ #13 for July (#19 since May) just after 10 am this morning. The overrunning precip to the north and west has been throwing clouds down this way and that has been impacting the temps this morning, as the sun has been in and out. Currently overcast with breaks of sun and 88 with dp 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Already up to 86F at 10:30. Good thing clouds are rolling in or we'd be off to the races today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 You can fire as many phasers (rain showers) at it and they just get absorbed in the dry shield around the LV. The line of t showers hits the LV and is done for. 20 drops at my house. Fricking unbelievable as the storm line separates again , goes south and north for the upteenth time this summer. Any storm line that hits the LV at 10 am is done for too All we get are stratus debris clouds from the storms with a few drops. By the time the line gets to philly area and south, they will be regenerating with raging t-storms again. The sun will come out soon and we will be in the 90's again with no heat advisory -typical screw job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome anything I can get but expect I'll be back out with the hose again in a few days (deep watered last on Friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 This initial band of storms is racing out ahead of the front. The HRRR and 3K has that line dying as it hits the lehigh valley like what is happening then more storms fire ahead of the front down in SE PA between 3 and 6. Someone is definitely getting screwed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Looks like areas N and E will be the favored area's for severe today. From SPC: Quote Mesoscale Discussion 1588 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1025 AM CDT Mon Jul 25 2022 Areas affected...far eastern PA and northern NJ into southern New England Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 251525Z - 251700Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms coverage and intensity is expected to increase over the next 1-2 hours from eastern PA and northern NJ into southern New England. Damaging gusts and hail are the main hazards expected with this activity. DISCUSSION...Convection is rapidly increasing in intensity late this morning. Broken cloudiness has allowed temperatures to warm into the 80s amid 70s surface dewpoints. This is aiding in moderate instability across the region amid strong southwesterly vertical shear ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front. Forecast soundings and regional VWP data suggest wind profiles favorable for supercells and line segments. Steepening low-level lapse rates and strengthening 0-3 km MLCAPE will support strong gusts with this activity. Meanwhile, modest midlevel lapse rates and elongated hodographs above 3 km may support sporadic large hail with stronger semi-discrete cells. Favorable low-level shear and somewhat small, but favorably curved low-level hodographs also will support a risk for a tornado given a very moist boundary-layer and increasing low-level vorticity along/just ahead of the surface cold front, though damaging gusts are expected to be the main hazard. Given recent increase in convective intensity and expected increase in thunderstorm coverage with time into early afternoon, a watch will likely be needed in the next hour or so. ..Leitman/Guyer.. 07/25/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

She had a couple stragglers crawling up her shed near the creek at the bottom of her backyard, and that was the first time I had ever seen a "red-eyed" cicada. There were stragglers of that Brood emerging I believe, 4 years prior, which would have made them 13 year cicadas. Maybe that's how the 13 year broods evolved. Still no summer cicada songs on this super muggy noontime near the D&R Canal. DP 72, temp near 90. RIP Rachel Carson - we may need someone to document Silent Summer.

RIP Rachel Carlson - we may need someone to document Silent Summer. At least the nighttime katydids made it. I know there are supposedly the mix of the 13 & 17 year broods but like you note, I'm missing the annual giganto, non-red-eyed ones. The kind that you don't want to be in the way when they are flying somewhere fast. I remember getting smacked in the head by one while sitting at the top of the slide to our swing set back when I was a kid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Checked the forecast before work this morning and it said t-storms all afternoon. We had maybe two drops of rain, and now it's looking like the sun's wanting to come out. I can see that everything is developing south and east, but what I want to know is why did this forecast bust so hard for Berks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Looking like another dud for rain today for most of SE PA. Best forcing and instability look to be north and south of us. This sad line of sprinkles is likely it for most of the area. I'm currently at .71" for July with .6" of that falling in 20 minutes so it just immediately ran off. This is the antithesis of last summer where it never wanted to stop raining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the first to sniff out the blizzard of 1996 a full week in advance. Pretty impressive for the technology at that time. Whatever he is doing now it is in Houston TX. I went back and forth with a member of the board that is in Houston on the tropical forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
