My station says a heat index of 116 and I don't doubt it (might be 3 degrees or so high). The official Reading airport station says a heat index of 110.

92/78/108 in Fleetwood. According to 1pm obs across the Mount Holly CWA, the Reading/Berks County areas are the hottest due to the highest combination of temperature and dew point.

So much lightning and flooding rain in that line. Not much wind where I was but still a good storm.

tornado warning on the line heading toward Philly

Also have a slight risk for parts of the area today. Main threats today will be flooding rain with PWATs nearing 2 inches and a localized wet downburst threat with the heavy rain.

Temperature is already up to 90 and heat index is 105. I don't even want to know how bad Saturday is going to be.

I think NHC wants a solid center fix from recon before bumping up winds and lowering pressures. I wouldn't doubt at all if we have a 75mph hurricane tomorrow morning.

Umm, wow. Just went on Berks Fire Alerts facebook page and found this posted only 1 minute ago: ***Delayed Post - 10 Min*** Douglass Twp: Grist Mill Rd IAO Locust Dr - WATER RESCUE - Occupied Vehicle stuck in multiple feet of water - 2 pediatric patients, 1 pregnant female - Marine 16 E/R M07 Fire Alerts of Berks County VEHICLE NOW TAKEN AWAY BY THE WATER; VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER AND IS TRAVELING RAPIDLY M07 1 3m Fire Alerts of Berks County Vehicle rocking; in multiple feet of water; water is very rapid Chief 16 doesn’t feel confident w/ committing his Marine unit due to the rapid changing conditions with the water Water is now up to the steering wheel M07

Some pretty bad flooding going on in southern Lehigh and Berks Counties.

Wow I didn't get any pictures but that line rolling through is perfect for some shelf cloud pictures.

Those storms rolling in from the west will at the minimum bring really heavy rains.
