Blizzard of 93

CTP thinks many of us will cash in with the line this afternoon.

CTP had good info in their discussion today. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... 1045 AM/1445Z update: Some adjustments to the forecast and HWO product, as per SPC outlook for this aft. Main change was an increase in concern for strong to severe winds with storms this afternoon across north central PA. Showers and storms moving just north of east, at about 35 knots, so not seeing a threat of flooding. Limiting factor is dewpoints not expected to be all that high. Main support is a rather strong upper level trough moving across the region for the first day of August. Most of the activity will be between 18 and 00Z. Earlier discussion below. 715AM/1115Z: Near term fcst is in pretty good shape and therefore no significant changes with the final midshift update. Showers/storms will initially be focused over the far northwest and southeast portions of the CWA through midday. Latest hires data continues to suggest a line of convection capable of producing strong to locally damaging winds will push southeast across CPA between 18Z-24Z.

CTP posted this for today.

Congrats!

Winning!

Happy August everyone! The final month of Met. Summer is underway!

MDT had a high of 81 yesterday…. 5 degrees below normal for the date. A few more days of below normal are on the way to open up August.

Above normal precip & average temps in July. Much better than drought & torch temps!

Today is another awesome day for August 1st… I plan on enjoying the conditions today. Windows are open today in the somewhat historic borough of Marysville!

It could easily be 95 & humid….it is all about perspective

Yesterday was ideal for the last day of July….

Yesterday was a great day for a bike ride with the family. The low humidity made for great conditions for this time of year, especially in the shaded areas of the route.

Exactly! That was my point…even if you get heat in September, most of the time it can’t last too long. Look at those highs from the 6th to the 28th.

I am hoping that someone predicts September flurries!

Even if there is some September heat, it will not last and the breaks are more frequent.

Enjoy these next few days near 80 with a break in the humidity. Plenty of time to complain about the heat when it comes back in August. The good thing about August is that the end of Summer is within sight!

Lol…and no thanks to their Alligators, year round heat/humidity & bugs and snakes!

Same here…and I would miss snow if I moved any further south! If I moved…it would be north!

Blame all of the expanding area of concrete all around MDT!

Amazing day on the way today for the last day of July. Sun with no humidity and high temps in the 70’s is as good as it gets for this time of year!

Today Sunny, with a high near 77. Light west wind.

MDT was at 60 at 6 am and Capital City airport was at 59. Come on MDT, just 1 more degree to go!

A few more degrees and they would have had the chance of frost!

I would need some serious help if that ever happened around here!
