canderson Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Pretty sure it’ll be cooler in Austin when we are there next weekend than here in Harrisburg. Our July is torching Texas … it’s that awful of a month. My parents haven’t hit 98 yet. I have 5 times and tomorrow is likely triple digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 @Bubbler86 help me. A bunch of models are trying to bait me into having hope that we get some significant rain the next few days. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 And another one.Haha, quit rubbing it in. We can't even sustain a storm more than 15 min down here, let alone get thunder or lightning. My top 25 wind guests are all from fronts basically. No storms. I wonder how many storm reports south Central Pennsylvania has to date versus normal for the seasonSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 ABC-27 is calling for scattered showers and storms. While NWS is calling for a solid line of them producing .25-.50. Will NWS eventually succumb to 27's forecast? From NWS: More specifically with respect to timing of the convection today, the latest HREF and its members shows the main round of storms firing up along a line from Near KELZ south to KFIG, KUNV and KAOO between 17-18Z before solidifying into a likely line of storms and plowing across the Susq Valley. A second, weaker MCS near or just to the south of the Mason Dixon line will support additional TSRA that could linger through the early evening hours southeast of the I-81 corrido 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most liberal interpretion of it with storms moving ene or ne still leaves a giant screw zone between the two that is going to get someone in South central paSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Harrisburg tied its record high yesterday at 99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Here in East Nantmeal we exceeded 90 degrees for just the 2nd time this year (90.5) with the 2nd hottest day of the year behind only the 91.9 on June 22nd. Other area high temps yesterday included Brandwine Airport (95.0) Chester Springs (94.9 ) and Warwick Twp. (94.0). Today will be even hotter with widespread mid to upper 90's. Shower chances increase later today and again tomorrow as a cold front moves through later Wednesday. It will turn much more comfortable by Thursday with temperatures closer to average for what is normally our warmest week of the year. Chester County Records for today: High 100 degrees at Coatesville (1900) / Low 46 degrees also at Coatesville (1929) / Rain 2.66" at Kennett Square (1911) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of snuck up on us. Today's record of 104 is probably out of reach, although the latest HRRR still wants to throw up a 103 at MDT. It's been pretty consistent with that. We shall see. Off to the races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they hit a 100 it unlocks lightning. It's so weird seeing these storms with a thousand lightning strikes an hour ram through northern pa while we can barely manage to get a storm to not collapse within 20 minutes and produce 5 strikesSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I wasn't going to post this because I wasn't sure what my purpose was in doing so, and I was even more unsure what anyone would or could possibly say... I'm working nights this week. Last night when I left the office at 11pm I was greeted by wind. Howling winds...trees were swaying, road sign was shaking on the pole, our American flag was straight out. I don't want to exaggerate and I'm not good at guessing wind speeds. All that to say, I know enough to know that the wind was blowing at least 35mph. Easy. Sky was perfectly clear, nearest precip was 150 miles away. The wind lasted approximately 5 minutes. Why?

And they are Voiding the feeder this year. Somethings going g on with them. The last 2 years they were fighting at the feeder, not this year as there are very few of them.

I'm not sure why but I just know that over the years I've always noticed big differences between PWS DPs and the official stations. Even more so than temp discrepancies.
