    That is so 2020!  Tamaqua has more qpf the last month than many of us have had in 3 months combined. 

    That's because I'm not there... :P

    I’m sure you know this already, but there’s a consecutive days record in play that looks to be pretty much a lock as long as tomorrow hits 110.

    I thought the streak would be broken as it was mostly cloudy today, but we managed to keep it going with a 110 reading just after 2pm. I do think we have a solid chance of breaking it, though.

    Even out here, where 107 is the normal July high, the TV news is sensationalizing 110. That's only 3 degrees above normal, OMG...the sky is falling.

    It's ridiculous (in a relative way). Every time they do that I damn near yell at the TV saying "it's July in Phoenix, what do you expect?"

    I’m convinced Harrisburg is a magnet of extremes. 32” snow, whatever rain Agnes put down, routine 60= mph winds not even in tropical storms, heat waves, etc. 

    I would say the entire Susquehanna Valley is. At least as far as rain is concerned. Not only Agnes, but other extreme rain events seem to target the Susquehanna. 

    Imagine if some of those events bullseyed lesser river channels like the Lehigh, Delaware, or Schuylkill? The Susquehanna is a broad river that can handle extremes better than the narrower channels of the others I mentioned. 

    While the Susquehanna floods were catastrophic, getting 15 to 20 plus inches over a widespread area of the other narrower channels would have probably been even more catastrophic.

    I listen to news radio for traffic reports, and this is getting increasing coverage. As it is, we're over 100 consecutive days with no rain, and none is in sight. Temps next week of 115+ as you also pointed out. It's bone dry now, and fires are popping left and right. So far they've been on the small side, but one up above Wikieup, on the way to Kingman is approaching 3,000 acres. It's going to be bad if we don't get much of a monsoon this year.

    Was gonna say I remember plenty of coal mines driving through clearfield (and surrounding areas) visiting my grandma when she was still alive :)

    I was punking on the NWS graphic where they mislabeled the counties on that tornado statement...lol

    There is bituminous coal out your way, isn't there?
