All Activity

Hey all... long time lurker, but decided to take the plunge and create an account. I live in Philadelphia, am a Psychology and History teacher for Philly public schools (just finished my 29th year)... I more or less look at the Philly forum, the NYC forum, and yours... the people in Philly do not post nearly as much as those in the NYC and New England forums do... in any event, I have learned a lot by reading your posts (Typhoon Tip, I have always found yours very informative) and hope to learn more. The weather has always interested me since I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin... between the severe weather we experienced in the spring/summer and the snowstorms we had (especially when I was a kid in the 1970's)... I think these things were the "spark" so to speak. "Anywho"... hope everyone stays cool... was 97 here today with peak HI of 110. Definitely NOT looking forward to the 105 forecasted for tomorrow, the 103 for Friday and the 101 for the 4th. The heat, the concrete... Oy, it's stifling!

I hit 100 today, the DP was 86.4 Was an insider most of the day. When your 70 not to many outdoor activities you want to do in 100 degree weather. I was looking at the record highs and a lot of them was set in 1931.

Sure. Snowman didn't say that though. He said regardless of strength.

Heinous

still 96 at ewr

and we didn't drop below 100/99 until 7:20pm...

Ahh I remember t-storms . Those were the good old days

The SPC put out a meso discussion this afternoon for southeast Iowa into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, which included an 80% chance of a watch, which seemed odd. They were focusing on a band of cumulus through this area. However, the area is capped and no models have been predicting anything around here, only northern and western Iowa tonight. Nothing ever developed and the cumulus faded away.

Looks like 97 was the high here in Philly today; the humidity really took your breath away, stifling... lots of plan changes for the 250th celebrations this Friday/Saturday due to the heat. Some things moved indoors, and many events moved to around 8pm.

Holy shit. Intense straightline winds. Wow. Branches down. Still have power though. That was whiteout straight-line wind damage that fanned out on the east slope and into the valley.

So Wiz. Check out that New York activity? That’s right where the NAM had that. Convective initialization ftw

Nice hook echo from that storm south of Ottawa.

Some big wind coming your way… probably right on the county line at Lawn Rangers and that area on the high spot of RT 100. Just came over the spine and accelerated ESE.

Hopefully, we cash in on a stray storm tomorrow up here.

Pretty nuts out there. Takiung forever to get here gonna be some washed out roads in Jericho et al

It is loud coming over the mountain. Rain skirting a bit north so far, but it’s not going to miss.

Only 93 in Central Park today? Seriously?

98° for the high this side of the county

Tomorrow looks like a good Ambrose Jet day with the record heat west of the sea breeze front.

WOW, “only” 95.2 here

Let us dream a little, Chuck. Its July 1 lol.

It’s not good form to put panels on an old roof. I would not do that and recommend against that. it’s not a big deal to pay someone to fix things a buyer requests when selling a house. I wouldn’t buy a house that needed a roof without factoring the roof replacement cost into the purchase price. i also agree that forests should not be clear cut for industrial solar power generation, but property rights folks might disagree with that.

I made a poor mans DFH Raison D'Etre by plopping some fresh raisins into a glass and pouring a 90 min IPA over it, giving it swirl, and letting it warm a bit. Pretty good!

You are getting rocked this late spring, early summer. Congrats.

Yeah back down to 78 here.
