You know its dry when another sinkhole opens up a 100 ft wide crater right across the street from the Amazon Center in Palmer Township. The hurricane in a few weeks will take care of any drought conditions. Planting grass seed is impossible in these conditions. This is seal your driveway or paint the fence weather dry and hot. No, thank you. My area is fine, and hasn't been in a drought since about March 5. (I told you after the Eagles Parade, when I saw mud, that the drought was almost over. Lo and behold, three weeks later, we got the rain event that was the beginning of the end of the drought.) I don't want a hurricane. I'd be okay with some T-storm events (like 7/31, and that wasn't long ago), but a hurricane would be overboard, and probably put my area in a flooding situation.

ChescoWx Posted Monday at 01:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:39 PM We should see for some spots today recording their first above normal temperature day so far here in August. The humidity will also increase. The warmest day of the work week should be tomorrow with temperatures well up into the 80's and maybe touching 90 degrees in some of the valley locations. A front should pass through the area on Wednesday night which should bring the humidity down toward the end of the week. We could see some showers and thunderstorms with the front by Wednesday evening. Next weekend looks sunny with increasingly warm temperatures.

Mikeymac5306 Posted Monday at 03:10 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:10 PM We are now in that goofy time of year where it is not hot enough to enjoy the AC yet it must stay on cause it is humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted Tuesday at 11:41 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:41 AM Topped out at 89F yesterday and Sunday, so no official heatwave here yet. Had the AC off all weekend. Even now, I'm running it during the day and turning it off and opening the window before going to bed. Once the humidity kicks in, will be back to running it full time.

ChescoWx Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM Yesterday was our 11th straight below normal temperature day here in East Nantmeal to start the month of August. Today we should finally see above normal temperatures and they look like they should last through the week and into the weekend. We should see temperatures in the mid to upper 80's for the rest of the work week and maybe reaching the 90's by Sunday. We have been dry so far this month so the potential shower later tomorrow into the evening will be welcomed by our many area farmers and green thumbs.

LVblizzard Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago The Perseid meteor shower is out tonight and there are great viewing conditions for it! I went out into my backyard and saw 3 in 10 minutes. It’s probably even better in more rural areas with darker skies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Hit 91F yesterday. Forecast highs today and tomorrow are 88F and 85F. Unless something changes, no heatwave IMBY this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Showers and thunderstorms are becoming more likely as we move toward later this afternoon and into the night. For most spots this will be our first measurable rain since August 1st. The sun returns by Friday with above normal temperatures through the weekend and then cool back to near to below normal by early in the new work week. Our best chance at what could very well be our last 90 plus day of the summer looks to be Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
