Tell RedSky we've got steam heat baby! Steam breeds mosquitoes, it has morphed from being nary a skeeter to be found in June to possibly the worst numbers of them in a summer. Dodged a wet bullet this afternoon but looks wet and stormy later. More dang skeeters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Looks like a mesoscale low leaving Altoona moving ESE very quickly towards Harrisburg definitely severe weather with that pretty good-looking hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Rolling thunder and steady rain here. Ended up with 1.11" for yesterday, already closing in on another half inch in just the past 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Core of it past to my south that's where the 60mph winds and hail went, lost points there. Also like snow at night I get to deduct another point there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Nothing crazy in the western suburbs of Allentown but we just had continuous thunder and lightning for an hour and a half. Still going too…looks like it’ll move out soon though. It’s been awhile since we had a nice nighttime storm like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Got warned overnight and apparently a lot sound and fury signifying nothing here, with no measurable rain. Most seemed to have gone north of me. Did try to peep out earlier this morning and there was cirrus with some breaks enough to see stars but not really as clear as hoped if wanting to catch any stray Perseid streaks that would be visible from the city. I did see a cool crescent moon rising though. Currently partly sunny and 68 (my low so far) with dp 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Should see some warmer than normal temps today before near normal temps for the rest of the upcoming week. Rain chances increase again by tomorrow night but then dry through the rest of the week. Records for Today: High 99 (1918) / Low 43 (1930) / Rain 4.17" (2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If the summer months of June-July-August ended today this summer would be the 12th coldest summer across 130 summers since records began in Western Chester County in 1894. Of note 5 of the top 20 chilly summers have all occurred since the year 2000. By contrast as you can see only 2 of the hottest top 20 summers on records have occurred since 2000.

JTA66 Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 On my third power loss in the last 12 hours. Good news is there’s a bunch of guys standing around some PECO trucks and orange cones down the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
