We finished June across Chester County with the warmest average temp 72.6 since the 73.8 average temp in June 2010. The warmest spot was of course Phoenixville at 75.2 degrees and the coolest was the 70.6 degrees at Warwick Township. All stations (16) finished with an average temperature of 73 degrees or lower with the exceptions of Phoenixville and KOQN West Chester Airport (74.5). The wettest station during June was Nottingham with 6.89" of rain -the location with the least rain was KOQN with only 1.84" Our average temperature across the county through the 1st 6 months of the year 51.1 degrees is the warmest first half of the year since the 51.6 degree average back in 2012. Overall this was the 15th warmest June on record....following last year's 8th chilliest June of record.

Survey Summary:
A line of severe thunderstorms began to produce wind damage in the
town of Millersburg at the Millersburg Area High School, located
just off North Street. A press box structure located above and just
behind a set of metal bleachers adjacent to the school`s athletic
field was blown off its supporting metal beams/foundation and
largely destroyed. A small ticket office on the other side of the
field was blown off its unsecured cement foundation pad and was
heavily damaged when it impacted a long length of bleachers next to
the field.

The line then continued eastward and produced sporadic wind
damage within several residential areas across Millersburg along
and East of Route 25. The damage consisted mostly of downed large
branches, as well as a few snapped and/or uprooted softwood and
hardwood trees.

The last observed area of storm damage in Millersburg was near
Landfill Road, where a few more more trees were snapped, or had
significant limb damage. The storm appeared to weaken farther to
the east, as no more damage points were observed.

We would like to thank the Dauphin County Emergency Management
Agency, Upper Paxton Township Fire/EOC officials, the local area
Skywarn Spotter and HAM Operator networks for their assistance.
We`d also like to thank members of the public who reported storm
related impacts.
