  1. Low of 71 here. Shaping up to be a glorious 4th of July weekend.
  2. Back home from camping. Low of 69 with 1.3” of rain. Perfect summer day on tap today, great for pools or boats.
  3. We just talked to some people who were trying to tent right by the creek and they have four inches of water inside their tent with all their clothes soaked. They fled to their car for a while and are now deciding to abandon ship. Grateful to be in a camper.
  4. We are visiting some friends at their campsite here near Dutch Wonderland and it’s absolute mayhem. Mega drenching storms with round two on the way! Mill Creek is about to rage.
  5. Yeah I noticed that, was thinking you may have just missed out on everything. I’d really like to mow before it gets brutal out this afternoon but everything is just too wet right now. Maybe I can sneak it in around noon before the clouds start to break and heat up. I’ll be watching the visible satellite closely this morning ha.
  6. Low of 64 with exactly half an inch of rain.
  7. Yeah things really exploded out this way. Flash flood warning up around Manheim. Storms just not moving. I missed out on the worst of it but still got a nice drenching to the tune of almost half an inch.
  8. Low of 64 with .17" of rainfall and a nice cell moving through overhead as we speak.
  9. Low of 72 with zero rain. MDT fell one degree shy of the daily high record yesterday, broke the max min record by one degree, and also now stands one degree AN for the month. Supposed to go to a Barnstormers game tonight, so a close eye on the radar, I will have. Cheers.
  10. Hoping for the same here. Have missed everything all day but there’s a tiny little potent cell just NW of Mount Joy headed my way that I hope holds together. Narrator: It did not, in fact, hold together.
  11. Yep, will break today's as well, likely by one degree at 76.
  12. Low of 74. One more yucky day before some relief arrives. Quite a few chances for rain over the coming 7-day period.
  13. It’s official, MDT high is “only” 98. Ties the record again.
  14. Well careful now, recall that they do the converting back’n’forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit and then round, which can lead to some misleading readings. There are many times when the five minute observations show a certain temp but when the actual high is divulged on the six hour intervals it doesn’t reach to that extreme. Happens in both the hot and cold directions. The readings at 56 past the hour are the actual METAR observations that are accurate. I was schooled on all this by some poster a while back, who was kind of rude about it ha. Forget his name. In any case, we’ll found out for sure at the 7:56pm update. I do agree we probably hit 99. I’ve said too much. Carry on.
  15. Sure did! Now we wait to see where things officially round out, 99 or 100 still on the table.
  16. MDT has officially reached 96, two more to go to tie the daily record.
  17. Tell me about it. Has thrown a real wrench into my monthly prediction I made yesterday haha. Should have known the mainstream forecasts hadn’t yet fully caught on to the backdoor cold front idea. Rats.
  18. For sure. Generally speaking, the more land-locked you are, the greater the seasonality. I remember one of the first days of a Meteo class I took at PSU the professor saying something to the effect of "Miami has never hit 100 and never gone below freezing, while Bismark, ND has hit [insert insanely high and low values]. That my friends, is seasonality. Large bodies of water work wonders for moderation."
  19. Looks like our relief should come the way of a potent little backdoor cold front that sweeps through Thursday evening.
  20. 76 when I left the house. MDT should smash its min max records of 75 for today and tomorrow.
  21. MDT with a quick plunge despite no clouds around and no real change in conditions ha.....
  22. In honor of this heat wave, decided to take an early look in the crystal ball and determined that June will end with an average temp of 74.0, good for ~1.4 AN and tied with 1923 for 12th warmest all-time. Book it.
  23. Low of 75 with .03" of rain. Today's record of 97 and tomorrow's 98 should be within reach for MDT. The max min records of 75 for tomorrow and Wednesday should also be on the table.
