You can still beat the heat by traveling outside the UHI by the way, heat is relative, it will always be cooler outside of the UHI.

The heat didn't start in June (at least not until the last week) and we're comparing sustained heat not just June but the entire summer. 1980 stands alone for July-August.

I hit 92 here at 1 PM my second heatwave so far.

It came out of the southwest and covered most of the country. Forget temperature tables and read some news sources of how lethal the summer of 1980 actually was.

Not home, but checked in on the pet cam and it was just one crack of thunder after another. This is as electrical as I’ve seen in years.

Yes - I admit I was somewhat skeptical about today but no longer...radar is angry (almost looks like it's boiling) and there's no where for it to go...

Had to go to a dentist appointment this afternoon and then pick up something from the pharmacy and barely made it in the door. It got dark fast! So far an up to 1.26" (total) in the bucket with > 2"/hr rates. Am under a fresh warning. Temp down to 76 with dp 73.

Maybe but right now ha

I think this is my highest DP of season at 76 and it's 92. KFIT's 90/72 so the HI is up there.

Picked up nearly an inch in 20 mins.

Another soaker here. Helluva pattern change the last couple months from the Great Plains pattern we were in the last 2 years.

Gonna get missed after it looked good for a while

0.85 from that first round and a fresh 75 degrees. Off to a great start!

3 day heat wave .

Storms starting to fire south of it off the outflow. It's ungodly horrible out right now with sun. I feel like rice in a steamer. Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

How is your annual deficit so much? I'm around 20"-21" and my deficit is only a little over 1" Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

1.35" was pretty much just straight down rain. Several lightening strikes and thunder

I bet this is producing a waterspout right now at the mouth of the Patapsco...

1.75 in less than an hour. (Rain is now light.)

I liked your idea TCC. For a moment though, I thought it was one of Liberty's posts. Well done, a# always …..

The severe storm that was birthed around here (Carlisle area) yesterday afternoon around 4:00pm caused a lot of problems in the aftermath. A combination of high winds and flooding rains created severe flooding in and immediately around Carlisle Borough. I think I was about a mile away from the worst winds and especially flooding rains. But, I have the misfortune of still being without power. They keep pushing the restore time back, so it's now 11:00pm this evening. PPL has restored much of the affected areas, however, I'm in the 338 homes without power. I ended the day with 2.10". Ended the month with between 6.4 and 6.6". YTD near 21.50", which is an annual deficit so far of about 2.50".

Our flash flood guidance is so meager at this point, I just don't see how large swaths of Lancaster County don't have serious issues tonight. Hoping for the best but things could really go south quickly. Chiques Creek is completely swollen as it is.
