ChescoWx Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Fox 29 in Philly posted the below graphic for Philadelphia at the PHL Airport regarding "heat wave" days. I have also posted the same analysis for Chester County since 2020. Of note 10 of the Chester County stations have had the same or less than the 7 heat waves at PHL this year over the entire 2020's!

Jns2183 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Sometimes the hardest part of reading about past disasters is having enough imagination to truly grasp the power of nature. if you ever were curious about the Johnstown flood than go watch the video coming out today about Glacial damn flood in Nepal and China. Especially the one at the border with giant building that gets engulfed. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Johnstown though a bunch of rich pricks didn’t essentially cause it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Just waiting to see how much rain we get today. Currently 62 degrees River is still a mess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Low of 68 with .01" of rain. Curious to see how things set up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 We had a brief shower this morning, but showers will become more widespread later this afternoon and into the night with the ChescoWx model predicting 0.44" of rain by midnight tonight. We start to clear up tomorrow and start a steady warming trend with our peak warm days looking to be next Monday and Tuesday. However, any 90+ days look unlikely especially for the ridge locations. I suspect we have already seen our last "heat wave" across the county. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 With all the storms around, north, east, and south, I'm going to somehow end up in a stabilized atmosphere with only a few rain showers. Seen it too many times not to believe it to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Pop up storm from my backyard. It is, however, in the wrong quadrant. Right is north in the photo, so it's moving away from us. Got a few raindrops out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm just won’t quit, just as soon as it looks to be moving away, it has been back building right in my vicinity.
