The Iceman

I’m having flashbacks from last fall, endless sunny days with clear skies and no rain in sight. I have a feeling we are going to need a tropical system to break up the upcoming dryness.

3.5” rain yesterday sheesh. We have 4.7” of rain now in August in 2 events lol

Yeah drought guy will be making an appearance by next weekend. Long range pattern looking dry barring any tropical systems. This week should be beautiful.

Wow we have double down here. 6.2" on the month. But vast majority of that was in 2 events earlier in the month.

This has been a nice respite from the heat and humidity. Unfortunately looks like it's cranking back up again starting tomorrow.

Well there will truly be surprise pop up thunderstorms the next few days with no radar. Do the local news stations have their own radar or do they just license out NWS data? 97F/72 at 2PM. I don't think we will hit 100 again but we shall see.

Did it overheat?

Made it up to 101.5F. Hottest I can remember in quite some time. Seems like most heat waves we’ve had the last decade underperform because of the humidity. This event had the mixing out of moisture that made the triple digit heat widespread. Pretty historic event!

My DP has dropped from 75 to 73 in the last 2 hours so I think we make 100 here, we shall see! 99/73 is still a 110 heat index YUCK

99F at 2 pm there’s like 4 other stations within 2 miles away at or above 100F.

Im watering twice a day right now, once in the morning and once at night and my veggies are doing great. They droop during the day but I swear my zucchini and cucumber plants doubled in size overnight. They are loving the humidity… 96F at 12 pm here. Will be close if we actually hit triple digits. also, we had a power surge early this morning at like 6 am. That was scary. No power in this heat would be no beuno.

Several stations in Levittown are at or above 100. My personal station is at 98F currently down from a high of 99F. Crazy that KTTN about 10-15 miles away is only at 93F for a high today so far.

96F 76 Dp at 11:30. Heat index 110 wow

Man this decaying MCS has produced several pretty good wind gusts. Way windier than I thought it’d be.

Is that stuff up north definitely going to fall apart before reaching here? Sure seems to be heading on a trajectory to hit se pa and most of NJ. I can already hear thunder and it’s been inching further and further south. I mean I hope it does, it’ll really throw off the thermal forecast. My point and click is saying only 20% chance of rain though. Edit: I’m literally watching the 30 frame loop on RadarScope and there’s no just way this isn’t going to clip the Lehigh valley, and bucks/montco/philly on east.
