Central PA Summer 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Mount Joy Snowman replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Thank you, same to you! I should add that things are MUCH greener out this way too, unsurprisingly. -

We arrived a bit ago out here in the rural stretches of southwestern Westmoreland County. Highest car thermo reading on the drive out was 96 at various spots through the Cumberland Valley, low was 88 at three different spots — the top of the high hill on the Fulton/Bedford line, through the high points of Somerset, and right as we arrived down here in sticks. Nice breeze blowing out here too, still hot but much more bearable than back home. -

Low of 79. Hopefully we get some beneficial storms sometime over the next several days. The Sun/Mon period potentially looks fruitful. We are departing for western PA shortly. A happy and safe 4th to all the AmericanWX members! Cheers to the USA! -

THIS. I don’t think enough people are familiar with that area. I won’t speak to any type of agenda but his station setup is probably about as good as it gets for a home station. I’ve at times compared his monthly departures to MDT’s monthly departures and they seem mostly consistent. -

Amen. I'll be crossing over the Laurels tomorrow, as we head out to a friend's house in Westmoreland County for the 4th. Always fun watching the temp drop as you climb the big hill and come through the tunnel. -

Low of 75. Let's see how high we can go. My forecast for tomorrow got knocked down a couple degrees to 101 but remains at 103 for today. While MDT fell a degree short of tying the record high for yesterday, it did set a new record max min of 77. We'll have to keep an eye on those max mins in the days ahead, although I think the upcoming days' records are more like 80. Don't get me started on home station dewpoints haha. Here is a map of current dews..... -

MDT ended the month with a mean temp of 73.8 and only .73" of rain, which is good for the 3rd driest June ever. I received 1.46" in June and have 16.41" for the year. I totaled 52.41" last year. -

Low of 71. Let’s see how many Ben Franklins we can count the next few days. Stay cool everyone. -

Welcome! Great story, I love all things Pine Creek related ha. -

MDT daily record highs for July 1 thru July 4 -- 100, 104, 107, and 104. That is one tough set of records to breach. Tomorrow is obviously the most gettable but that's also the one day where my current forecast is under 100. We shall see but quite the historic heat wave on tap regardless. -

Low of 65. Looks like I'll finish June with 1.46" of rain, not as bad as I thought but still not good. I'm getting one last mow in today and then things turn crunchy for a while. -

Low of 68 and a very underwhelming .06” of rainfall. As others have mentioned, things are going to get very dry after we bake out under this extreme heat this week. -

Crystal Ball says we end the month with a mean temp of 73.9 degrees, about a degree and a half AN and good for 13th warmest all-time. Book it. -

Low of 58. Hoping for some beneficial rains the next three days but not super confident we get a whole lot. Heat builds for 4th of July week. -

Yep looks like a smidge over .3” in the gauge. I’ll take what I can get! Official reading in the morning. -

I was thinking the same as I stare out the window here into the capital city. There was a sharp cutoff just southeast of Harrisburg, which was actually modeled very well by the Meso's this morning. I think I'm going to be up around a third of an inch back home. -

Low of 69 and a disappointing .13” of total rainfall. Things just weren’t nearly stratiform enough yesterday and what did pop managed to miss me. Perhaps we get lucky today. Onward. -

Current temp of 71 is the low, to go along with .03" of rainfall. Hopefully we can squeeze a little more out of the day, although there doesn't seem to be much support for it. -

Looks like 58 will be the low. Humidity creeping up today but nothing too bad. Looks like fairly minimal action tomorrow. Carry on.
