.12” rain yesterday.  73 was the low, 96 the high. 
 

Next week looks brutal. Mid to upper 90s Monday through Wednesday. 

I'll take a more positive look - next week looks amazing. Last few days of the week look sunny with highs in the upper 70s and very low dewpoints.

Below is an analysis of excessive heat - represented by temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in Chester County PA by decade from the 1890's through today. There is a clear trend for less excessive heat days with 100-degree readings becoming a relatively rare event compared to the 1900's through the 1950's. On average Chester County PA is down to maybe 1 time per station per decade. The below shows the number of days, average days per station - this is included to take into account many less stations prior to the 1990's. Of interest is even though there are more current stations at similar elevations relatively close to those older historic stations excessive heat is just not like it was for our parents and grandparents.

Yes indeed, relief is on the way again!

We had a nice couple of days earlier this week as well.

As long as we get breaks every other week, I can cope with Summer heat.

Picked up 0.21” yesterday in Lebanon with MTD now at 4.77”. Sitting at 86/74 right now…looks like a good bet for more gully-washers later today, tonight and tomorrow

I've got to admit, even though I like summer heat, the crazy humidity has been hard to take some days.

Future radar already showing the Tamaqua Split/I-81 collapse...

It’s quiet in here…heck of a line forming out in western PA! Late night firework show?

[Itstrainingtime]

Big time storm inbound - will it be a direct hit or a scraper? Mount Joy looks like it's about to get crushed. Again.

.15 rain today. It is insanely humid. A friend had a party and two people had heat strokes.

I see that. Will this be the one that holds together and rakes us all, or does it fall apart?

[Jns2183]

It's still 82 out. Humid is as oppressive as ever, air still. But now rolling thunder and lightning with the cicadas singing in the background. Peak summer

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central Pennsylvania.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms with gusty winds and very
heavy rainfall are possible this afternoon. The heavy rain may lead
to localized flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat-related illnesses
Monday through Wednesday afternoon. This level of heat affects anyone
without effective cooling and or adequate hydration.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report significant hazardous weather.

[ChescoWx]

Some overnight showers have ended but we could see a couple later this morning and again later in the day. We then still look to have a shot at our 2nd "heat wave" of the summer here in Chesco with Monday through Wednesday looking like most spots with the possible exception of the highest spots topping 90 all 3 days. The pattern change we have been talking about arrives with a cold front on Thursday. This will usher in almost an autumnal feel to next weekend with highs in the mid to upper 70's and cool 50's at night.

[Itstrainingtime]

Just 0.26" of rain fell here overnight.

Good lord this humidity...

Hell, we might as well be done with 2025. Too much rain this year.

The thing that's pissing me off about this summer is the lack of good thunderstorms in and around Tamaqua. I'm wide left, wide right, or they die out, or they form south or east of me. 

All this volatility and nothing to show for it.

[Superstorm]

Wow, Tampa, FL hit 100F for first time ever.

[Superstorm]

In this new climate, the south is going to be unlivable.
