Garden variety storm here last night, nothing special besides for a strong wind gust or two. Looks like another chance today, hopefully earlier in the afternoon/evening so the outdoor World Cup watch party I’m going to isn’t affected. Then another chance on Sunday.

Same here. I'm home alone, and hopefully the thunderstorms are out of the way before sunset, so I can go on a late night swim.

Tomorrow is perfect weather. Can cut the grass and go for a late night swim home alone.

30% wind probs again today

 

Nothing last night imby other than some drizzle. Not measurable though. Cool light show though.

The drought is about to cross the line into disaster for local farmers with this weekends debacle. I am around 1.80" for the last month after yesterdays trace and one tenth the one before that. If Sunday's chance fails it's over.

The severe thunderstorm threat is over, correct?

Several degrees cooler today and much less humid. Highs will still be several degrees above normal levels. Much more humid again tomorrow before a strong cold front crosses the area tomorrow night. We should see temperatures falling back below normal both Monday and Tuesday before we warm up again toward the end of the week. Shower chances increase tomorrow afternoon into the evening with the cold front.

SPC put out a somewhat rare day 6 15% area for PA/NJ. Would be really nice to get a severe day sandwiched in between all these cool, low humidity days.

Here in Chester County PA most spots have seen an above normal amount of 90+ days so far this season. Below are the number so far this season by station along with the average per typical season along with the most and least by station. You can clearly see how relative elevation across our area impacts the number of such days. Also below you can see our average annual number of 90+ days is showing a clear reduction in number as we compare past decades to the 2020's.
