Looks like 97 was the high here in Philly today; the humidity really took your breath away, stifling... lots of plan changes for the 250th celebrations this Friday/Saturday due to the heat. Some things moved indoors, and many events moved to around 8pm.

Just finished walking the pup... around the block and a brief interlude into Carpenter's Woods. I am absolutely soaked.

A friend of mine who works for PJM said Thursday is definitely going to break a record and that the western part of our region (Ohio, Michigan, metro-Chicago) are likely to place constraints on the rest of our region; but they are working to hopefully minimize whatever those constraints are.

Hey all... Newbie here. I live in the Northwest part of Philadelphia (Mt. Airy is the section of the city), am a Philly Public School teacher (Psychology and history) for 29 years, and have been a "lurker" on here for quite some time. I have learned a lot by reading the Philadelphia, NYC metro, and New England discussion forums over the years. I have been interested in the weather since I was a kid growing up in Wisconsin... I think the summer of 1977 with its heat and severe weather along with the winter of 1978-1979 (I was in 4th grade... we had so many snow days we had to make one up on a SATURDAY) are what sparked this interest. In any event, I look forward to perhaps joining in on some future discussions. Take care and stay cool this week.
