Oh, I forgot to mention that I was in a pretty good thunderstorm yesterday afternoon that dumped 0.21". This was the first measurable for this month. I'll have to go back and look at end of July to see when last precip day was. Obviously grass all around here is getting pretty brown.

It just keeps getting hotter/worse. Sun has been out almost the entire time. Have now established a new highest temp for this year at 97.9. Previous was 97.4. Highest heat index of year at 108 degrees. We should be in excessive heat warning today as well. If I'm at 98 today I probably have a good shot at 100 tomorrow and/or Friday. So thankful for A/C.

After reading everyone's morning lows I just looked at my weather station and it says I got down to 53.8 this morning. This ties the coldest low I've had since June 25th.

It split here too but I could tell that in advance with the southwest edge of the severe thunderstorm warning only about 10 miles to my northeast. Got a whopping trace. However, the temperature plummeted from 80 down to 70 and the dewpoint as well from 68 to 59 as the storm was approaching. Feels very comfy outside now. I guess that's the consolation.

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was really close to Halloween. That was the biggest earliest snow for me.

What about Oct 31, 2011? I recorded 6" of wet snow Pretty sure it was a Saturday unless it was Oct 30.

On the current radar I don't see any sign of the Johnstown severe TRW / possible Tornado. There's absolutely nothing out there. I'm referencing WunderMap radar. I picked up a whopping 0.05" with that line of rain the passed through here about 90 minutes ago. Stuff is going to have to form overhead out of nothing since the closest precip upstream is up NW towards Ebensburg. Currently 77.7 with a dp of 71.

Overcast here with just waves of increasing brightness then decreasing brightness. High temp so far is 78.6 which I am still near. Dew point has been steady all morning near 71 degrees.

Hi Guys... I'm thinking now might be a good time to propose the following given the overall amount of OT (and I'm not talking about just sports): How about we start a separate OT thread so that anyone and everyone who wants to express their opinions about any other topic other than weather has a place to do it? I've felt this way ever since the number of OT-related posts was quickly infiltrating this beloved weather thread. Would it really be that inconvenient to have to go back one menu level and select that thread? Better yet...how about you open a second tab with the OT window just a simple click away?? Just to cite one example of having the benefits of the OT thread...perhaps @Mount Joy Snowmanand his censored post from yesterday would have survived and would still be there today for others to see? After all, if his post had been in an OT thread, that would have made it much harder to be removed since the whole purpose of an OT thread is to talk about other topics. To say that I'm livid over the removal of that censored post would be an understatement. I never got the chance to read it...and maybe I really would have liked to. As far as I'm concerned that moderator...whoever he is...needs to come back here and give us his reason(s) for the post's removal. Wouldn't it have been much easier to have PM'd @Mount Joy Snowmanto discuss whatever the issue was that was complained about? I'll stop now before this post gets censored too!!

Good luck!

Other than some minor street flooding not enough has fallen to create floods or flash floods. Unless the radar changes it looks like the heavy stuff has passed east and only light rain remains. Total up to 0.85". Had 0.35" yesterday for 2-day total of 1.20". Temp down to a much more pleasant 69 degrees. Much better than the 92.5 degrees earlier.

After quite a lull I'm back in the torrent again...up to 0.66". >>Edit...0.71" now.

Same here...had wind at the beginning but no wind past 10 minutes. Momentary let up with the dump even though current radar has me in deep orange/red. 0.52"

The torrent arrived about 15 minutes ago and I'm up to 0.50" and rising rapidly.

Enjoying is the last word I would think of. Besides I'm now up to 88 and my new heat index is 100!

Yep...dew points in the upper 70's once again. I'm 85/78 with HI of 95. Yuck!

In answer to your comment a little further back...yes, I did get in to some thundershowers. It rained heavily for a short time (maybe 10 minutes). All tolled 0.37" in the bucket today with 0.02" yesterday and 0.20" on Wednesday. Six tenths of an inch isn't much but I'll take whatever I can get. Looks like you and I are on track for perhaps an inch or more tomorrow. Can't wait! My low yesterday (Friday) was 67.6 and the high was 93.2. The dews were back up around 75 a good chunk of the day which made it really uncomfortable to be out, especially in the sun. Thankfully, I don't have to be out in the sun if I don't want to be. One of the perks of retirement.

Well one good piece of news on the comfort front for today is the dew points. Near 80 degrees yesterday afternoon, it looks like they'll be about 10 degrees lower today. Who would think that a 70-degree dew point could feel "comfortable"?...lol. The sun has been in and out of clouds over me this morning. Current temp is 82 and the dew point is 69.

Ugggghhh! My dew point just hit 79 degrees! That's about as high as it can ever get around here. "Luckily" my temp is only 87 degrees with humidity at 76% so the heat index is only 101.

Current radar says the sun should be shining here in about another 15-20 minutes. Storm total 0.01"...lol.

Gee, after reading through over 120 posts in which I skipped over the sports posts, I can say that what I saw 30 minutes ago was the rapidly intensifying thunderstorms that barely gave me 0.01" dumping on Harrisburg just like last night. Amazing!

It's interesting this season I have seen multiple times that whatever passes through my area and heads towards Harrisburg has a dramatic increase in intensity. It's doing the same thing right now.

I did avoid anything approaching severe. I've had several episodes of lightning and thunder, nothing out of the ordinary though. Briefly very heavy rain but then back to moderate. Picked up 0.15" of new precip with this part and 0.22" total since midnight.

Wow. I'll take the 2.25"+ its dishing out. As others have posted the dew points have reached their highest level of the season with 75-77 degrees not uncommon. I'm at 85/74. Got 0.07" just before sunrise this morning. The radar looks very interesting with a line of narrow but intense rainfall all the way from m/d line up to ny state line. Many times I have seen this develop out in western PA and right as it reaches me it breaks apart leaving me with just a moderate shower. Time will telll with this one in a few more hours.

I didn't, but all my windows were closed and I had my headphones on between 9pm and midnight.
