canderson Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 No ****? WOW. must have been a tight line. Did you see how dark it was towards your north? Did you have the wind? It got very dark indeed, even directly over the house. But I didn't notice any wind to speak of, granted I wasn't outside but usually can hear a decent wind storm of course since my home has 18 windows.

JamieOber Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Lucky, that is good for maintaining a trout season. Here in Lancaster the steams have warmed considerably and have capped any good fishing until September. But this time of year a person can switch to quarry fishing during the evening and still fair well. Funny you mention that. The other night when I went to pull the pump out of the water, my flashlight caught a beautiful little brookie for about a second. Sure rub it in........i love OC. i may moove there someday. Jamie, the Susq. River water is very warm. My friend told me yesterday he was out fishing over the weekend. He said he was hot so jumped in, he said it was like bath water. That's when my old man and I would be in the Susky in shorts and sneakers, a minnow bucket, and ultralight tackle catching tons of smallmouth and rock bass. I love OC too. I wish it wasn't getting so built up but I still love it. Back to weather, looks like a few storms popping. Anyone know why CTP's radar is down? Edit: never mind: Message Date: Jul 19 2011 16:53:31KCCX PEDESTAL MOTOR IS BEING INVESTIGATED. EXPECT KCCX TO BE OUT OF SERVICE INTOTHE EVENING HOURS. ADDITIONAL REPAIRS MAY BE NECESSARY.

Festus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Expect the heat flags to be hoisted soon by CTP. Already out for south and east. Knowing our office's tardy tendency, maybe something by tomorrow or tomorrow night. Assuming the current 70 DP, Thursday's high of 97 = 104 index or upper limit Heat Advisory Friday's high of 99 = 106 index or lower limit Excessive Heat Warning Does anyplace around here do the cooling center thing like they do in Philly?

I think i may cook dinner on the driveway Yup, the SE portion of the CWA just went under an Excessive Heat Watch for Thursday which surely will extend to Friday at some point. Good for them getting it out in time for preparedness. Numbers like 105+ get serious in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I went out for a 30 minute walk down by the river. It's not nearly as hot as I thought it'd be, actually. Not joking, either. Low 90s, humid but nothing that really gets to you. My parents are currently sitting at 106 with 86 percent humidity. Gotta love it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to him! He will never forget it. I played in a championship game at his age and won. I was 2 for 4 with an RBI and a double, we won 10-8. It was hot like this but hell, I could care less. That post game ice cream never tasted so good. Make sure he drinks plenty of water...tell him that. He'll forget to, lol.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yesterday when I left for work the sky was still blue, albeit accompanied by a smattering of mid level clouds. Today, however, there is a milky haze and not a cloud in the sky. Definitely a sign that hot weather is upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember because last year this week we were getting prepared for our National Tourney in NC just like now in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Gonna be a rough next couple days for the folks that have to be outside during the day. Not too often you see the entire state covered in heat headlines. Excessive heat vs heat advisory placement looks decent, as the Sus valley will probably be seeing temps a few degrees higher as well as higher humidity values than the central and northern counties. I think the really dry weather we've had as of late and associated dry ground conditions might even help tack on a couple more degrees to surface temps. I expect to see triple digits lighting up the southeastern sites (H-burg, York, Lancaster, Gettysburg, Reading, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
