canderson Posted Thursday at 04:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:47 PM Heat advisories up. And they put this in today’s discussion. Ensemble data suggests pattern change is likely to evolve by the end of the forecast period/beginning of August as the upper level flow becomes more amplified, with the ridge building north across the Rockies and a trough from Canada building southward across the Great Lakes and the Northeast. This should bring a return to much more pleasant conditions behind a cold front on Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's been some heavy hints in the modeling for a while now that the first week of August could be on the cool or comfortable side. Don't think anyone would complin about that. I'm sure the heat will return not too long after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 01:23 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:23 PM The heat and humidity return today with many spots near or above 90 degrees. We cool down a notch over the weekend but with increasing shower chances by Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hot again early next week before a big cool down arrives by later next week.

AccuChris Posted yesterday at 06:27 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:27 PM Pretty impressive to see 3,000 ML-CAPE in the LSV at this hour. Id expect some pretty gusty wet microbursts in a couple hours as the PWATs are increasing above 2.0” in the same region. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in Tamaqua, but it was bad down between Hamburg and Reading on PA61. Easily 40+ gusts as it was ripping branches out of the trees, and actually looked like an Arizona dust storm prior to the rain hitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted yesterday at 09:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:07 PM You know it’s humid when even a T’storm rolling through can’t drop the temp below 80. About a tenth of an inch here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago "Corn sweat" is the term used to describe the moisture that corn plants release into the air through transpiration—kind of like the plants' version of sweating. A single acre of mature corn can release up to 4,000 gallons of water into the atmosphere per day during peak summer heat, dramatically increasing local humidity levels. That sticky, soupy air you feel in farm-heavy areas? You can thank all that hot, sweaty corn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After next week, I won't have that availability. Since there's no foreseeable path to day shift at my current company, I'm starting a new job next Monday....unless my current boss finds a way to slot me into a 5am start time. With no one quitting or retiring, though, anytime soon, I just don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Today will be several days cooler with high temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 80's. So far this year Chester County has experienced only one heat wave (at least 3 consecutive 90+ days) back on June 23rd through June 26th. We have what may be our last chance of a 2025 summer heatwave early this week as Monday through Wednesday may see temperatures at or near 90 degrees. We then turn much cooler with a pattern change to well below normal temperatures as we close out July and move into August. The best chances of rain look to be tonight and later Sunday.
