None of the cold fronts will take it to the LSV it seems so no reprieve from this humidity for a week at least. 

 
Isolated showers and storms may essentially occur anytime between ~12-7 PM. I think coverage will definitely be greater than the 3k NAM or HRRR models suggest, but the cold front will already be S/E of the LSV this afternoon. A few brief downpours are the main threat..

Very interesting that you posted this because I was just coming here to say that I wasn't expecting this many blotches on the radar near us today, let alone at this hour.

Temp down to 77 at home with 0.12" of rain. It's better than nothing. 

Looks like I got at least .4" from what just went through.  Yet another potent line going through Etown as we speak.  Can't believe how active it is for what I thought was going to be a down day.

Now multiple areas in dauphin county have announced voluntary water restrictions due to lack of "productive rainfall". Seems Lancaster county is on a whole different planet compared to everyone else.

We sure are but even within Lancaster there are winners and losers.  Also, I'd say there are other swaths of eastern PA that have really been cashing in as well.  Hey, it's late summer, which means you never have to go far to find dry areas.  The madness of summertime convection is what makes it so fun and frustrating ha.

Just read on MU's X account that parts of Cumberland County are over 2" for today so far.

No rain, 87 for a high. Didn’t hit 90 like I thought I would.  


Can’t tell you how much I’m over his summer. The humidity has been Houston level for months.  This new climate sucks. 

I had 91 yesterday. Wasn't expecting it to be so warm.

In a few month we'll be suffering from an endless wind and cold. I'll (and a few other ones on here) will enjoy of what summer has to offer us.

This weekend should feature above normal temperatures and still humid before we see a nice cool down to start the new work week and that should last through much of the new work week. Sunday looks like our last above normal temperature day for at least the next week or so. There are some rain and storm chances especially across Western Chester and SE Berks Counties later this afternoon into the evening. Otherwise dry through at least mid-week.

Low of 70 with .45" of rain.  Any storms that pop later today should come from the southeast.  Love me some "opposite" storms.  The only guarantee is that Lancaster will be in the bullseye ha. 

The other is that Tamaqua won't...lol

So a few weeks ago I was complaining about how I thought this being the most humid summer I can possibly remember. Well I came across this article from a few days ago basically detailing that a lot of states have had their most humid summer ever recorded with dew points 6 degrees higher than the 1951-2020 average. That's actually insane.

 

https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/feel-sticky-this-summer-its-been-record-muggy-in-the-northeast/

"More than 70 million Americans sweated through the muggiest first two months of summer on record

Parts of 27 states and Washington, D.C., had a record amount of days that meteorologists call uncomfortable — with average daily dew points of 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher — in June and July, according to data derived from the Copernicus Climate Service.

And that’s just the daily average. In much of the East, the mugginess kept rising to near tropical levels for a few humid hours. Philadelphia had 29 days, Washington had 27 days and Baltimore had 24 days where the highest dew point simmered to at least 75 degrees, which even the the weather service office in Tampa calls oppressive, according to weather service data.

The summer of 2025 so far has had dew points that average at least 6 degrees higher than the 1951-2020 normals in Washington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Columbus and St. Louis, the AP calculations show. The average June and July humidity for the entire country east of the Rockies rose to more than 66 degrees, higher than any year since measurements started in 1950.

The area east of the Rockies has on average gained about 2.5 degrees in summer dew point since 1950, the AP analysis of Copernicus data shows. In the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and part of the 1990s, the eastern half of the country had an average dew point in the low 60s"
