Rainshadow Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 You are what the thermometer reads. Still 86F in PHL at 1030 pm this evening. I am doing the math if PHL hit 97F today and add that 3-4F boost as indicated by the 925mb/850mb rise, well it would be a fitting end to this nearly month long wretched stretch of hot and then hot & humid weather.

If it avoids a thunderstorm like we will in Tumbleweedville, we can start engraving that trophy. 82F is a warm start. We have been getting hotter than stat/mos guidance, ought to be interesting in a not so pleasant way this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel_kurtz Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 PHL could reach 100 degrees today & that wouldn't be a record high for the date. Starting on 8/7/2001 a four day furnace baked Philadelphia with highs of 99 / 100 / 101 / 98, the 8/8/2001-8/10/2001 high temps are daily records. 2001 is only time over the past 67 years (1955) that PHL has recorded 100 degrees during the month of AUG. Locally 89 / 74 at 11:00am Heat Index - 99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 3F higher than yesterday at 11 am at PHL. That would be 100F, although that 97F looked wonky yesterday. I was 2F cooler than VAY, so if you are matching VAY, don't know about that. Sure looks like 99F, 100F not out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 The highest hourly at PHL yesterday was 95F. So now I get this Gladstone plot (Where is the 97F?). Yesterday looked more baked than average lately, but you are what your thermometer says you are. GFS is currently directing aircraft to pass within 10 feet of the ASOS sensor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 We are advecting in neutral air. Not sure how yesterday went. In a normal wetness summer 24C would be around 96F for a max temp. I am on my way to bananaland, so I will try to sneak a peak on breaks. No need to tell me no rain fell in tumbleweedville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
