Looking back historically there have been several times where September/October combined rain totals were less than 1.00”. We just went through probably the wettest 2 year period in recorded observations at KMDT. We have had I believe on 1 year in the last 15 where we were >1” below normal for the year. So we are either going to have to get some dry years soon or turn into a rain forest. . Pro

This mid to upper 80’s, no rain from now till October is disgusting . Pro

Out near Hamburg on 78 and storms are blowing out up every where. Looks like someone’s town is about to get whacked. . Pro

Well...,this storm certainly made up for the lack of rain last night in Downtown Harrisburg . Pro

Any hail? . Pro

Talk about weak steering currents today. Storms just popping up, meandering every which way, then dying. . Pro

The storms pop right overhead. We get 0.02” of rain. 10 miles to the southeast they see 2”+ . Pro

Tomorrow high of 91 and low of 72 is giving flashbacks to the July of humidity . Pro

Speaking personally I had the distinct pleasure of working outside for 12 hours and Saturday all while cooking over charcoal for a good portion. My friend owns a pig roast catering business and someone had the bright idea to have an outdoor wedding in July. It was four of us. The one person who worked with us used to be in the Marine recon I believe it and the other person has been doing this for 30 years and both of them said it was single-handedly one of the worst conditions they’ve ever worked. I managed to go through six shirts drink 8 pounds of liquid and still end up 5 pounds later afterwords. . Pro

I’m trying to figure out where I saw it but there was a study done recently that clearly demonstrated that a big difference in the last 20 to 30 years has been the increasing to do points which have helped bring nighttime lows higher as well . Pro

KMDT is at 3.08” for the month. Looking at extended forecast only 1 decent chance of rain left for the month. Good chance they break the streak of consecutive months of above normal precipitation at 9. Average high for the MTD has been 90.5 and low had been 71.8 for an average of 81.2. Normal values are 85.6, 66.3, 76.0. There have only been 5 July’s with mean high temperatures at 90 and above with 2011 being the most recent. And all that talk of 1999 being unbearable was warranted as they hold the top spot at 93.5. . Pro

Storms and lighting on all sides of me. All moving away. Haha . Pro

Nice little line . Pro

Storms coming off the mountains . Pro

Good God, next Friday, Saturday, Sunday look horrendous. 96/78, 95/75, 93/73 with humidity . Pro

KMDT had 0.04”? . Pro

92/74 at home is not nice . Pro

So far for July KMDT has an average high and low of 90/71. I wish they kept daily dewpoint max records. It’s been about as soupy as possible. Only have had 0.34” of rain, but one day can change that. I think last year they had 4”+ one day due to storms not moving. . Pro

I can’t imagine driving a U-Haul and what I just went through. I had to drive to Shermans Dale, on 114 over the mountain. The outflow hip when I was on 114 and it hit it with a fury. I was going about 45-50 when up ahead I see a big tree moving awaked. Split second later I see it’s going to fall, fall toward the road, and timing looks about perfect to nail me. I just go bought a used Infiniti G35 a couple weeks ago and thank god I did because I floored the sucker and cleared the tree as it fell by less than second. I hit a twig basically. Then tried not to hydroplane slowing down because I was going 90+ in torrential rain. If I could have stopped before I got to where the tree fell I would have, but the darn thing basically wanted to be play chicken and I would have been in bad bad shape if I tried to stop. So now I’m going to get a 6-pack of 9% beer, sit on my porch, enjoy The rain cold air air and the fact that I am still breathing. . Pro

Nice looking line coming in. Plenty of juice in south central pa as well. . Pro

Just wait till you hit the jackpot on a isolated 20% day and end up with 3” of rain and flash flooding . Pro

I see a forecast high of 86 . Pro

Over an inch of rain here so far today . Pro

After today KMDT will be once again above average for the month on precipitation. Which means that October 2018, was the last month that was below normal. And we’ve had something like only 2 below normal month in the last 2 years . Pro
