CarlislePaWx Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Bubbler86 said: @CarlislePaWx was just or almost nailed by a southwest moving bow line like storm. A little late checking in for posts. BTW I leave this tab opened all year long for convenience. That way I also get audio notifications when new posts are made. It's funny because I was literally on the very eastern edge of that thunderstorm line...by like 2 miles! My lightning detector was going bonkers with strikes (mostly in-cloud/cloud-to-cloud) every second for over an hour. The line stretched from just west of Carlisle westward out to Newburg, then progressed southward into Adams. Interestingly, earlier today a similar line formed in the exact same location and also moved due southward, with me just missing the precip by merely a few miles. What a tease! I did manage 0.09" overnight though and 0.24" yesterday from that almost severe thunderstorm around 3:00pm. Looks like things are calming down now in time for more 90's to come back over the weekend and into next week. It also looks like the ridge begins to break down for a while towards later next week and temps drop back closer to normal for a while just in time to usher in August.

Local fresh Sweet Corn, especially from Lancaster County, is one of the few things that I look forward to every summer. When is the next good chance of showers to save our sweet corn?

The farmer beside me said he applied for Government aid as his corn has not even "blossomed" yet and is going to be mostly a loss or turned into feed corn. Its only 3-4 feet tall as the end season nears. I was over in Cumberland county last weekend and the corn was 7-8 feet high and more healthy. Getting the D1 designation will help his case.

Jns2183 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I see I've been summoned. Can one tell me what makes a bad sweet corn season. I have some downtime before having to bartend so what I need is some characterstistics of a bad sweet corn season. Tempature and precipitation in which months. I think II can even pull up data for Lancaster specificallySent from my LML211BL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn can thrive in heat but it needs rainfall to grow. That's what I got for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Man, the plants in Lancaster county, in general, are taking a beating. My hometown friends there have been posting pictures of the Spotted Lanternflies and all the damage they have been causing to the vegetation. There are concerns about the fruit orchards being destroyed by these nasty insects as well. Just another blow to the agricultural sector during an already trying year.

It’ll be close to the record. I just peeked at the zone forecasts which showed no 90's after Tuesday and night time 60's to go with it. Just two nights in the 60's would probably pull the average down below the record. A high of 92 and a low of 70 would be too "cold" to get the record. After looking at the guidance I think they are using a blend of the GFS and Euro. Euro is hot but on an Island. Other guidance I looked at cools down much of PA next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 They actually address this in their AFD. Going to need an outperforming week to break the record. I love records but being right at the mark those cooler temps Wed-Fri may screw the record. .CLIMATE... Through 7/25, the average July temperature at Harrisburg is holding at 81.8F or 5.9 degrees above normal - which would be tied with 1999 for the warmest July if the month ended right now. With above average temps forecast right through end of the month, July 2020 could end as the warmest July (any month, for that matter) on record. It will likely come down to the last one or two days of the month, as MDT should have daily average temps of more than 81.8 each day Sun, Mon and Tues. The forecast is then for lower (can`t say cooler) temperatures for the rest of the week. So, if our current/official forecast as of 3 AM Sunday is perfect (laughs), MDT will slide to 81.6 for the month. This would still be a rock solid 2nd - besting the current 2nd place of July 1955 (80.4) by >1 degree. Williamsport is still on track for it`s 4th warmest month. The average temperature at Williamsport through 7/25 is 78.1 degrees, which is 5.3 degrees above normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
