Hey meteorologists on here, I would like to politely request that EWX consider going ahead and hoisting an Extreme Heat Warning for North Hays County in Texas just for July 23, tomorrow. Highs will top out 100 degrees and dewpoints may well be in the lower to middle 70s. Today, July 22, we topped out at 102 degrees and it turned out that our dewpoint was 76. This means that locally here in Buda at the height of the heat this afternoon it felt like at least 119 degrees, perhaps the very low end of the 120s. This is serious heat even down here and we have hundreds of construction workers at it all day in Buda and Kyle. Just a request. If there is an Extreme Heat package in place sometimes they will let those workers off earlier. (Maybe).

Bring it east

Wondering how many more 90 degree days we see… doesn’t look like any for the rest of the month. A 90 degree free August… wondering if Philly has ever had one… I’m sure they have, but not recently.

You guys have a "dirty ridge" with lots of storms in Colorado tonight.

Elias needs to go. End of.

Some great training out there where you are. Enjoy it

With the strong and strengthening El Niño, the odds are probably against a return to 100s.

Feels like another late summer night Breezy and 63/53

Thanks! Appreciate the info been dealing with the storm frying the ONT terminal for FIOS.

This paper has some information on time of observation bias. Hundreds of stations once recorded afternoon resets. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/papers/menne-etal2009.pdf

Top is ISU auto data plotter app. Bottom is from the NWS climo sections…NOWdata I believe.

Is that a cut off low next week? What is that? I love how it’s rained like two days this summer but the entire week next week looks like a borderline washout

0.55

Thanks, Don! This is the first time I can recall becoming aware of this observation time bias potentially causing overcounting of high max temps due to double counting of these highs as a result of observers getting 24 hour max prior to 1940s during late afternoon, near the time of most very hot highs, as opposed to mainly doing it near sunrise 1940s+. Do you have a source with more details on this? How widespread was this practice of getting 24 hour max late in afternoon? Do you by chance know how often this would result in double counting hot highs?

.47 here.

I don't know about that...Back-to-back losing seasons and 0 playoff wins may make the patience run out this time around. Rubenstein doesn't have to know about baseball to see this is simply not working. Especially with a new manager this year and things not changing. Not if we (hopefully) get a new GM/POBO it will be interesting to see if Alby stays or not.

Tornado Summary NWS Mt. Holly: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=pnsphi Was up in Stanhope today and drove through the Rt. 80 / 206 intersection. Very clearly it was tornado damage. Lots of twisting in the tree damage path. Also skipping from damage to none to damage again over a short distance. Clearly was not straight line winds.

Quick .51 from that storm

Looks like a dud Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

I'd go with Jan 6, 2014 as a single instance. It was a lake effect blizzard here (never seen an low blizz), never seen anything close to that severity it was sheer chaos in-town. Various aspects I've never seen before were playing out; no returns on radar during intense rates of snow, all plows pulled off (not sure on other events), -40C windchills by the end. There were a few times the visibility was so low that a streetlight just 50 ft across the street was completely shrouded in a blanket of dark grey like we were being swallowed. I have a hard time imagining the scene now since it was so mind blowing (typically its the opposite). For a longer event it'd be mid Nov 2000 with historic LES. Around 100cm or 40 inches+ during that. That and Dec were the snowiest months on record in Hanover; the definition of a front-loaded winter.

Point to you, sir. Training overhead now and yeh, this is pretty solid. .
