Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 58. MDT sitting at a cool 6+ degrees BN through the first three days of the month. Things starting to get warmer but still a nice mid summer week ahead.

We lied to the kids and told them we were out of marshmallows bc it was late and they were breaking down and we didn’t want to deal with the mess, yada yada. Anyway, it reminded me of this tweet I saw one time that cracked me up, went something to the effect of: ”Me before having kids: I will never lie to my children. Me today: They don’t sell hotdogs in Colorado.”

Yep. The older I get the more I check dew points over temps, at least in the summer anyway.

Low of 57. Had an awesome fire pit with the kids last night.

Low of 56. My weekend is inundated with kids birthday parties. Hoping to find time to make a fire one night.

I can’t get enough of this chart. The values look about what I’d expect them to look like and align pretty well with my own observations. Thanks for sharing!

As you’d imagine, complete opposite here. I weeded earlier and everything pulled right up.

July was my 3rd wettest month ever with 11.51". My YTD is now 39.03" -- only 8.57" of which fell in Jan thru Apr. Each of my last three months have been over 9", amazing. For MDT, it was "only" the 8th warmest and 21st wettest July on record with 6.15".

Low of 65 and 2.09” of rain with a glorious airmass in place. Happy Friday, all.

Cold front blowing through, feels absolutely amazing outside. We deserve this boys!

Wait, I thought you just said you got a half inch?? That's nothing to sneeze at. I know you're being facetious (maybe? haha), but we actually don't know how any of it will play out. Wasn't the best action always supposed to favor southeastern areas today? C'mon, head up Voyager!

A buddy of mine is driving to Lake Ontario and he said once he hit New York the temp was 60.

I've noticed, although that looks to finally be changing. You just never know how or where these events are going to play out.

Yeah I'm right in the thick of it and the dreaded back-building keeps happening every time I think the back edge is near. Over an inch and a half now. Developing....

75/72 here with ~.6" from round one and lots of thunder. Next batch looks to stay primarily to the southeast.

Already a nasty cell right over that same Columbia to Mount Joy corridor that got hit so hard a couple weeks ago. Solid rain falling at my house. And so it begins....

Haha I know wasn't it just lovely out!? Seriously though, my P&C even as recently as Tuesday morning had me at 97 for both Tuesday and Wednesday, whereas MDT and LNS topped out at 93/94 and 94/95 for those days, respectively. Heck, even CXY went only 94/93; THV only 91/92. As @Jns2183 mentioned, high Dews are the enemy of high temps, but the forecasts should certainly be factoring in all of that. Not a huge bust or anything, just thought it was notable. Heat indices were unbearable either way ha.

Low of only 75. Exciting day ahead. While the humidity has certainly lived up to the hype, the temps at the official stations have come in a good bit lower than expected the last couple of days.

You know, I saw that happening earlier and was wondering if you were just inside of that cell. Amazing.

It certainly does. There could definitely be some select spots that see torrential slow-moving rains tomorrow. Hope it's not us.

So it appears the Hawaii warnings were downgraded and minimal damage reported. Good news. Tomorrow’s dew points look like they could be the worst of the week, with relief not arriving until the overnight hours. We’ll see what tricks the storms pull.

Yeah pretty wild. Hopefully the advanced warning will allow everyone out there to get safely inland.

Alright, I don't have access here at work to the site I would normally prefer for this type of question, but I used some other sources and can at least say the following with regard to MDT.... July should end up ~80.0, which, when combined with June's 73.8, should get us close to 77. 2024 immediately stands out as the GOAT with a mean June/July temp above 78 degrees. Then there are a number of other years slightly above that 77 mark. So, no I wouldn't say it's the hottest start ever, but yes I would say it's one of the warmest starts, top 5-10ish. Depending how August goes, it has an outside chance of making a run at the Met Summer record.

Hmmm not sure. I believe June was only about a degree AN so I would be a bit surprised, although July is certainly tracking near the top. I’ll see if I can look into this later this morning.

Low of 71 with .03” of rain.
