Yeah it got noticeably nicer working outside towards around 4pm this afternoon at my job site. Still hot, but much dryer with a breeze. Looking forward to enjoying this stretch. Last year though we had a hot/humid stretch at the end of August, so hopefully we don't repeat that. Currently 78 with a DP of 59.7. A nice reprieve.

89.4°F for the high here today. Spent 8 days above 90. Last year we had 4 more days above 90 IMBY from 8/24 through 8/27. Here's hoping we don't get a repeat.
-
I think I'm hearing our first cicada of the season.
-
Outflow boundary visible on radar at least. Made it to .77".
-
Yikes! Some relief is on the way I think. I just got .75" in like 15 minutes here, and it's cooled down to 78 or so.
-
Downpour! Time to get all of August's rainfall in .5 of an hour.
-
Holy cow you guys, I might actually get training t-storms for a change!
-
For reference, I live close to where the U in Lauraldale is on that map. All you have to do is follow the dry slot to get to my house. Though there is still hope:
-
Got my 40 drops for the day. The driveway is almost dry again, and nothing was measured in the gauge. Cooled down to 83 though, and that's not nothing these days. It's sunny out again so that will probably rise a little bit.
-
Clouds have rolled in and dropped temps massively from 95.3 to 94.8. Looking forward to watching any storms that develop dodge around my house this afternoon.
-
I was curious, so I compared my local wind patterns from 2021 and 2022. Way more winds from the south this year compared to last, check it out: July 2022: July 2021:
-
Have now watched 3 storms flare up and then die right before getting to me. Frustrating. Looks like we wit 93.7°F today. Currently 86 with a DP of 76. Gross.
-
6th day in a row of >90°F. Can't wait for this to be over. Radar looks like it's filling in again, time for the Reading Rain Shield to go up. I'm at .23" for the last 7 days.
-
Looks like a shield paralleling Rt 422 actively resisting the approaching storm.
-
Yeah I was just outside with my dog looking at that. Supposedly a storm is inching towards me, we'll see if it ever gets here. Not betting on it--it has that "holy crap Armageddon is approaching aaaaaand it's gone" look to it.
-
And that was a nope. Maybe overnight.
-
Maybe we'll get something out of this (to my west):
-
On GOES-East you can see the outflow boundary regressing SW from that storm complex over NE PA. Kinda neat. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-truecolor-48-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined
-
I'm in the sun hole to the NW. Currently 79°F and climbing rapidly. Somehow we eked out .11" just after midnight last night.
-
This equals some rain drops on the back deck and nothing in the gauge.
-
RedSky Heat Island in full effect Everything's bypassed us up here, but se might get a sprinkle or two if the backside keeps developing.
-
Baltimore and it's 'burbs have been getting hammered for like the past half-hour. I wonder if it'll dissipate diurnally or continue along. Atmosphere's pretty juiced ahead of it still.
-
I'm literally watching the downpours slide off to the NE through my front house camera. At least there's a breeze and the temp got knocked down to... checks PWS... 89. Whew, what a relief that is
-
And diverting around my house, as per usual
-
Lots of 90's and above up here and down there. I just checked Allentown though and they're reading 100! Harrisburg reports 98, and south of you, Oxford reports 91 and Phoenixville says 96. Enjoy your microclimate while the rest of us bake, my hill-top friend. Here are the stations closest to me: (closest to me is highlighted.)
