Central PA Summer 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Voyager replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I will never stop loving summer, but the Crohn's has made me less tolerant of the high heat and humidity. I find myself wanting overcast 75 degree days over the sunny and 90 days. -

Plus he was the Superintendent of schools there. it was just over 4 years ago when you sent me down the rabbit hole, eventually finding the guy's house! -
Chester County PA - Analytical Battle of Actual vs. Altered Climate Data
chubbs replied to ChescoWx's topic in Climate Change
Why is NCEI cooler than the Allentown COOP? Because the Allentown COOP is in downtown Allentown and runs warmer than the Allentown Airport. NCEI has Chester County exactly where it should be: warmer than the Allentown Airport and cooler than downtown Allentown. Per the Table below, NCEI does a much better job of tracking the Allentown Airport (ABE) than the Chesco COOP average. Two five-year periods are chosen: 1941-45 before the first Chesco station move in 1946 (Coatesville) and 1971-75 just after the last move in 1970 (West Chester). NCEI is 0.4-0.5F warmer than ABE, before and after the station moves. While the COOP average cools by 2F relative to ABE. The 2F cooling matches the roughly 2F cooling at the individual Chesco stations and is completely spurious. Once again the raw data shows that NCEI is far superior to the COOP average. NCEI does a great job of removing the station moves. While the COOP average confounds station moves and weather. As I said above the pre-1945 Chesco COOPs are very warm. It isn't only the City of Coatesville either. Phoenixville ran very hot on sunny days and West Chester was in a built-up town location. Obvious to someone familiar with the county and the COOP data. -

I was jut going to ask about this. Caught me off guard... Wednesday Patchy smoke before 11am, then patchy smoke after 5pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 94. West wind 7 to 10 mph. Wednesday Night Widespread smoke, mainly between 8pm and 9pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 67. Light northwest wind. -
Upper 80s imby and no headlines, miss north

64 degrees this morning. Getting ready to head fishing. AC system will be getting the legs workout these next couple days Isn’t legs the heavy day of the workout? -
97 for DEN. Highest temp of the year, fourth time they've touched it.

After that disaster start to the year ice max wise, day 190 extent got above 2012 Sent from my SM-S176V using Tapatalk -
TWN increased tomorrow's temp again to now 36C/97F, pretty rare value but many times has fallen short. Ontario had their highest temp since the Dust Bowl! Peak at Armstrong ON at 40.7/104F!

Stayed in the 70's most of the day until sun came out in the late afternoon. High of 82. Picked up a nice soaking .59" today. 2.60" for the month. Everything is greening up again.

I've been here 30 years, and late night MCS event surviving from the Midwest and hitting us good have been really rare as far as I can remember. I can think of lots of MCSs falling apart in the morning hours as they arrive in the early morning, but not many delivering the goods in the warm season. (I can think of several cold season events with intense dynamics, but those were more frontal bands than an MCS.) It's just so difficult, because you need elevated instability to compensate for the surface cooling, and we so rarely get the big lapse rates.

Just a trace of rain here today. “Only” 93 today at KSAV, which is actually NN, after a 9 days straight of upper 90s-100.

Looks like a smokemaggeddon scenario on Wednesday if the HRRR is right?
-
Wow, this looks quite bad.
-
just under 1 inch of rain since late last night
-
That's a shame. I thought you were getting hit much more than you did on Friday and Saturday.

Will have to keep a close eye on the path of this wildfire smoke. RAP suggesting some surface smoke on Wednesday, densest near the fires, but extending across the Great Lakes.
-
Looks like maybe more surface smoke on Wednesday if the RAP is correct. Will have to watch out for this, as this could hold back high temperatures some.
