So, will tomorrow's high severe chances finally overcome the Tamaqua Split?

On my last load it was even getting into the truck through the air conditioner. It stinks out there. Despite the smoke, I've maxed out (so far) at 89 degrees

Oh boy. I run one of the water tankers, so that's a regular route to Fogelsville. I can go through Schnecksville if I need to, but our 8,000 gallon tankers are permitted, and can only use 309/100, as they weigh 100,000 lbs. I wonder if Penn Dot is going to adjust the permit route so they can keep running.

It's pretty bad now already. I could distinctly smell the smoke on the Blue Mountain where we load our water. Elevation may play a part in that, though, as it's a bit higher that the valleys below.

A little cooler here this morning at 69 degrees. We got 0.05" of rain from the storms that missed to the east yesterday afternoon. Despite that, the high was 95.

The Jordan Creek along route 100 looks about ready to dry up completely. I've never seen it this low before.

Storms fired to the north, but everything is going southeast. Best we'll get is a glancing blow. Looks like Carbon County is getting/gonna get slammed again.

Warm morning by Tamaqua standards. We generally drop into the upper 60's even during the warmest heat events. Currently 72 at 6:00am

Even with the smoke, I got up to 93 (92.5) today.

Starting to notice the smoke in the Tamaqua area today already.

I will never stop loving summer, but the Crohn's has made me less tolerant of the high heat and humidity. I find myself wanting overcast 75 degree days over the sunny and 90 days.

I was jut going to ask about this. Caught me off guard... Wednesday Patchy smoke before 11am, then patchy smoke after 5pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 94. West wind 7 to 10 mph. Wednesday Night Widespread smoke, mainly between 8pm and 9pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 67. Light northwest wind.

Same as it ever was. Just a bit outside...

I can't get excited about severe threats because they never materialize in my local vicinity.

There is no doubt that I-81 in Schuylkill County is a storm killer for any storms moving in a northwest to southeast trajectory. The complex moving down from Williamsport died just about at the freeway.
