Mount Joy Snowman

Same here, a nice even 50 spot. Had all the windows open and the house got down to 62. Glorious. I got 1.28" in August and am sitting at 22.01" for the year. The next week looks dry as a bone.

I'll put a bow on this by saying I think it's been a beautiful summer. Sure, it's been a bit dry at times in certain locales and yes there were a couple of days with some wildfire smokiness. But hey, it's summer and no season is ever perfect. Overall, it was a nice mix of weather and no real extreme heat. I'm pleased and would sign up for ten more like it. Now, everybody go have a cold one. Cheers!

I agree with that sentiment, and definitely think the soft record of 93 on Labor Day falls. Although, nothing is guaranteed.

How about this for one of the most impressive and sneaky heat events of all-time for our area.......1941 owns the daily max record for four consecutive days in October from the 4th through the 7th, with values of 88, 97, 93, and 97. Wow.

Just adding some numbers here: MDT has 13 days in September with a record max of at least 95; another four are 94; and, the first day where the record max falls below 90 is September 28.

Low of 57 here and an absolutely splendid few days on tap. I haven't mowed here in two weeks and have no imminent plans to do so.

22.01" here.

At least some relief is on the way throughout the day today, setting up a beautiful few days before the heat settles in. MDT daily max records for 9/4 - 9/8 as follows: 93 -94 - 96 - 96 - 99 I think we break the record on Labor Day and possibly more beyond that. Of note, the records for 9/2 and 9/3 are 102 on back-to-back days in 1953. Yahtzee!

Low of 71 and zero rain overnight. Now, there were a couple tiny showers that popped over me as I was leaving for work this morning but no more than a couple hundredths. Not totally shocked based on what some of the models were showing yesterday but given what my NWS forecast said, and the bleak look over the next couple of weeks, this was extremely disappointing.

There is no time that is too early to begin tailgating! With that said, I would also arrive in the 9-11 timeframe. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Things not looking as potent for tonight's activity, particularly for those of us in the southeastern part of the valley. As Bubbs mentioned, GFS is touting record-breaking type heat for all of next week. Summer is delayed but not denied.

Not sure if I told you this, but I'm a life-long Packers fan as well. To say I'm shocked that Clifford made an NFL opening day roster as the backup QB is the understatement of the year. Sadly, I fear it says more about the quality of Green Bay's QB room ugh. As always, I hope to be wrong.

Nice! Going to Iowa are ya? You will not be disappointed, few things like it in sport. Unfortunately, I can't make this year's whiteout, will be one of the only ones I've missed. I generally only get to 1-2 home games a year anymore with the kids being so young. I sell the rest of my tickets.

Ah you slick fella you, indeed you did haha. Certainly more doable but would still be a hell of a feat! Yeah I was mentioning yesterday about if we should be checking the record books for next week. Potential is there to be roasting all week. Labor Day's record at MDT is a soft 93, getable. I'll be there Sauss! The drunk guy wearing white, should be easy to spot.

I know you're being tongue in cheek but we should end August with an avg. temp ~75.5, which would be more than 3 degrees higher than the hottest September on record at MDT, that being the 72.2 from 1961. Interestingly enough, the top four Septembers are all 1970 and earlier. Hey, would take one hell of a feat but I'm not ruling it out haha!

Yeah I wasn't expecting anything either. I did a double take this morning when I saw the gauge. "Screwed" was probably the wrong word ha.

I had a feeling you got screwed, given what I saw while perusing WU and Cocorahs. Really hit the lottery here last night. 'Twas due.

Man, was I stunned to see .63" in the gauge this morning. I wasn't tuned in with the forecasts this weekend and had no idea we were supposed to get anything. Very pleased. Seems like we may be in for another midnight surprise on Tuesday night. Anyone else think we may need to start checking the record books with regards to this heat moving over the region for next week? September looking very likely to start very much on the warm side, after what should be almost an exactly normal August.

I will be there! Probably the only home game I’ll get to this year, sadly. We do have our annual road trip though, which is Northwestern this year.

Be sure to let us know how much your water bill is for the month!

Doubtful, but not impossible. Not a great answer, I know ha.

Nice. Probably a figment of my imagination but you usually seem to do better out that way. Where are you at (without getting too personal ha)? Also, what are your monthly/yearly totals?

Statistician here. What you are doing here is called extrapolation -- an ill-advised tactic. Just state what the data shows within the time period actually measured. No need to put it in terms of degrees per century, which is almost certainly wildly inaccurate. ex·trap·o·late extend the application of (a method or conclusion, especially one based on statistics) to an unknown situation by assuming that existing trends will continue or similar methods will be applicable. "the results cannot be extrapolated to other patient groups" estimate or conclude (something) by extrapolating. "attempts to extrapolate likely human cancers from laboratory studies" MATHEMATICS extend (a graph, curve, or range of values) by inferring unknown values from trends in the known data.

.1" of rain here. Meh. Looks like a great weekend though.

The second brief shower of the day here in Harrisburg as I board the train.
