  1. 1943 and 1994 are hereby put on notice. I did my monthly chicken scratch and have us ending June with a mean temp of 76.5. This would be good for 2nd place all-time, sandwiched between the 76.8 of 1943 and the 76.2 of 1994. This weekend could be enough to put us over the top if things play out even hotter than forecasted. We shall see.
  2. There have been many occasions where I've tried to paste the screenshot version of a pic off my phone and still get the error message. It has worked at times, but rarely, and seemingly randomly. I have basically thrown in the towel on trying to post any pics, unfortunately.
  3. Outside of saturday, when I look at those temps in aggregate I kind of feel like the heat wave was a bit underwhelming. Safe to say the Euro was overdone? We declaring a model winner with this one?
  4. I also wanted to mention that one of the nights (either Fri or Sat can’t remember which) I only dropped to 78 for a low. Thought that was impressive. I haven’t checked but I assume we broke some records?
  5. Howdy. So, we had our annual summer party on saturday and I kept telling people how we were juuuust missing out on all the action as it slid by to our north. Sure enough, my one buddy who lives in Mt. Joy texted when he got home that they had some wind damage and the storms were pretty nasty there. Nothing here other than some scattered big drops. I did, however, get .25” from last night’s storms. I’m off today still trying to get everything cleaned up from our party and man does it feel great out. Honestly though, even for how bad the heat was saturday, people were totally fine sitting in the shade and everyone pretty much agreed it wasn’t THAT bad. I’m completely out of the loop on weather forecasting. We looking at anything significant in the week ahead?
  6. Really sorry to hear this Mike. Nothing more horrifying than witnessing your child go through something like that. We wish we could take the pain from them and for them, but alas, all we can do is offer support. Hope everything works out and your son is back to full health in timely fashion.
  7. Been working outside most of the last couple days and haven’t found the heat to be anything extreme. Stayed mostly in the shade but a bit underwhelming thus far. There is, however, quite an east-west gradient to some of the temps and I suspect the peak of the heat dome moves more over my eastern area towards the weekend, just in time for our annual summer party on Saturday ugh.
  8. Low of 68. CTP has definitely muted my forecast a bit as well, with highs starting tomorrow of 92-91-94-96 and the peak being 97 on Saturday. Saturday's record of 97 for MDT may be the most gettable too.
  9. Low of 55. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. This one here is hittin’ the links later. Hopefully the light beer keeps me cool.
  10. Low of 59 to go with exactly 3/4” of rain. Beautiful weekend before we all get fried. Enjoy it, all.
  11. Temp dropped to 67 here and about three quarters of an inch. Much needed. Also got a crap ton of power washing done today and I’m sore as a whore.
  12. Absolute buckets now. Round two even harder. Plenty of wind and T&L as well. This is glorious.
  13. Getting walloped over here with a classic summertime T’storm. The boy and I were out playing in it getting drenched. It will double as bath time tonight ha. Still pouring.
  14. Low of 67. Modeling certainly seems less robust around these parts for this evening. Man I hope we get something noteworthy because if not, with what’s in store for the next week or two….sheesh.
  15. Well I’m a Donegal boy at heart too; went there until 4th grade, living in Mount Joy Boro. Played all my youth baseball for Mount Joy. Have fond memories of those days.
  16. The Hempfield Black Knights are your PIAA 6A champs in baseball! First in school history for a proud program. They were a huge underdog too, going up against basically a college prep team loaded with D1 talent in La Salle.
  17. Was just thinking of you when I saw the radar. Hopefully it expands from there, otherwise the HRRR was high on its on supply.
  18. To be fair, it was never really until late this evening that the HRRR showed it coming through, and in fact the latest run still has it sprouting up and moving over us between like 8-11. Again, only far southeastern zones, not even Dauphin County really. We shall see.
  19. Yep. Thanks for the shoutout but I don't know who MHS is Could be interesting for a select few folks this evening. Something to watch ahead of the main show tomorrow evening.
  20. Last time MDT hit 100 was July 19, 2020. Prior to that, it was July 7, 2012. And those were "just" 100 and 101, respectively.
  21. Low of 57 here. Anyone else notice the models showing a slight chance of a shower this evening for those of us in the far southeastern parts of the LSV? I'm hoping the frontal passage tomorrow can pair up well with the peak daytime heating instability but looks like it may be a touch late for us down this way. Should still see some decent rains tomorrow evening, we hope. Put me in the camp that thinks next week will be hot and dry. Remarkable consistency in the record highs for next week, with all of them being 97 or 98. I don't think we reach any but mid 90s for a few days seems doable. Onward.
