    Reading, Harrisburg (MDT* & CXY), and Lancaster all hit 100°. *MDT hitting 100° before 2:00 pm is rare. According to the IEM bot page it's only happened twice in record keeping, both in July of 1991.

    They got river winded for ~10 min and it set them back a few degrees.

    I remember the ball just jumping out of the park on those hot nights. Also when the astro turf buckled and ruined a pre season Eagles game.

    Reading Airport hits 100°

    You did it Philly! Now go have a hoagie!

    For our Delmarva friends:

    Baltimore Inner Harbor (KDMH) hits 100°
  8. Eskimo Joe
    EWR had 102° for 10 min...lol
  9. Eskimo Joe
    Just up the road, Wilmington, DE hits 101°.

    Stuck at 95° here in Reisterstown.

    EWR is the BWI of NYC metro. lol

    Not surprising that PHL to NYC are going gangbusters on heat. You're on the northern periphery of a strengthening mid level ridge in early July. Max heat advection.

    The Edgewood mesonet site, located in Harford County, just came in at 95/81, producing a heat index of 117°. The 117° reading is a new network wide record for the mesonet.

    DCA hit 99° on the intra hour just now. So close!
  16. Eskimo Joe
    The Baltimore City mesonet site is making a legit run for 100° air temp.

    Nothing beats watching the Phillies on UPN 57 in the 90s when Mike Lieberthal would put his feet in buckets of cold water in between innings. The Vet was its own hell hole, but man we loved it.

    I LOVE my tempest. Get the power pack as well. You won't regret it!
  19. Eskimo Joe
    DCA with an intra-hour 97°. I think we do stand a chance to make 100° today.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    ^wow. They're a lock for 100. Probably Philly and Lancaster too!
  21. Eskimo Joe
    NYC is the Central Park site, yes? The NYC subforum has been screeching for years about poor vegetation management on that location. For NCY to be 94° in essentially an over shaded, sheltered location at 11am bodes we for an upper 90s kind of day.

    Yes apparent temp is a combo map. It's heat index when it's hot, wind chill when it's cold. All credit goes to @wxmeddler

    Yea the RRFS may be a formula for better future CAMs. I still like the HRRR because it shows what would happen if we overmix by some chance, almost like a goalpost kind of scenario.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. I remember the heat waves in Philly during the 90s. The air was brown and it smelled like ash or batteries (ozone?). Just the worst.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Per the 12z IAD sounding, the convective temp is 95°. We are slightly warmer at 700mb compared to yesterday, and there's weak warm air advection noted as well between 600mb - 800mb. That should work to maintain a reasonably stout cap throughout the day.
