E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion

[Birds~69]

DPs lately are just ridiculous... 

[JTA66]

It needs to be fall…NOW!!

87F/DP 76F

[RedSky]

Next week a taste of fall

 

[SouthernNJ]

An early line approaches from the west, some strong winds are possible due to the environment out ahead of it.

[BBasile]

Once again.  Maybe I'll actually get something today?  It's currently 89.7F with a 76F dew.

Edit: Just hit 90F for the third consecutive day.

Edit 2:  It's all collapsing into a pile of blah.  

[SouthernNJ]

Outflow has weakened the northern line segment, and strengthened the storms on the Eastern Shore into Central Delaware, however isolated strong winds are still possible east of Wilmington.

It had a good hook on it for a bit and left some wind damage.

[JTA66]

Getting some light rain with thunder. After a high of 88F, I’m down to 81F.

DP still atrocious at 75F.

I did hit 90 today so being the 3rd day, officially another "heatwave".

Currently 84 and stormy looking with dp 73.

[Birds~69]

Just showers....nothing real impressive.

86F/DP 73F

[KamuSnow]

Had a severe warning here but it weakened on the doorstep, so a little wind with some thunder and lightning, and about .30" of rain so far. Total of 0.75" between yesterday and today so far, still raining a bit. 77°F at the moment, that's not hard to take!

[BBasile]

Got/getting very little.  Dissipation is the name of the game.  It did drop the temp down to 75F and the dew down to 68F, so there's that.  Storm didn't look bad approaching, but what developed down towards Vineland looked more impressive.

Here comes the humidity. It was comfortable here 2 hours ago…not so much now. Hopefully we get some rain later to cool us down.

This will be my last full week in the Lehigh Valley for awhile - possibly ever? I’m moving to Denver in a week and a half because it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to live and I’m now in a position to give it a try. It gets hot out there sometimes but it’s a dry heat. “Humid” there is a DP of 60. It’s going to be quite the adjustment but I’m looking forward to living in a place with such volatile weather.

Good luck, and enjoy!
