Didn't it hit 104 in Harrisburg in July 16, 1988, I just checked it did I remember that day. Severe thunderstorms came through later in the afternoon. -

Idk why the rain has been like this. Some places get decent rain and other places hardy get any. I'm about 30 miles away from you as the crow flies. And the amount of rain you received compared to me is stunning. Hopefully soon you and others will cash in on decent rain. -

Note: With the expected heat coming next week. Everyone should try to take it easy and be aware of these warning signs for your health. This is not for this weekend. But maybe our area might have similar conditions later next week. -

The tomato plants are on the edge of being too wet. I didn't give them too much water when I was irrigating. -

Yes I agree while some of us had good rains this week (i had 1.37 this week) others missed out and are very dry, I started irrigating, pumping water out of the creek last Friday for our garden on a sprinkler system (more like a truck patch). Now that I got 1.37 rain this week and irrigating, my garden is actually too wet now at places. -

From Facebook: ** RING OF FIRE PATTERN ** Who's ready for the 'ring of fire' pattern next week? A large heat dome will set up in the Ohio Valley, bringing in the high heat and humidity. Even though we will be on the edge of this heat, we will still have temperatures and humidity levels push well above average, with dew points likely into the 70s (oppressive) range. Depending on the exact position of this high-pressure system, we may also be in the axis for storm clusters to move around this ridge of high pressure, which gives this the name 'ring of fire'. These storm clusters will need to be watched, as they will be moving into areas of very high instability and elevated wind shear. It is possible that if this ridge expands, it would push the storm complexes more into New England than into Pennsylvania. Regardless, next week will be rather active between the heat and storm potential! #PAwx #Pennsylvania #June #July #Summer #HeatDome -

Andrea Michaels FOX43 · Follow ntoepdsSroti702t1910fuimh5t84umi3it95c07i2hltg1871ttag70tl7u · PA is leading neighboring states in tornadoes Not exactly where we want to be leading the pack, but so far, we’ve have 20 confirmed tornadoes in 2026. All 20 of those were this month (June), with more than a dozen of these happening two Sundays ago with the severe weather outbreak on the 14th. Most of these tornadoes have occurred along the western half of the state, but you’ll recall one of them was confirmed in Lancaster County last week. I’d also like to include that these numbers came from the SPC’s records. There were a few tornado warnings yesterday, so it’s possible that this number changes slightly in the days to come if any storm surveys are performed. I made this graphic and scheduled it earlier in the day, so I think that disclaimer is important, but it still doesn’t change where we stand.
