Saturday Forecast Along With A Brief July Recap

HAPPY AUGUST 1ST! One more month until Meteorological Fall! Today will be no different than the past few days with the exception of less humid air. I hate to bore you all as these past couple weeks have not brought the most exciting weather, which does not appear to be changing anytime soon. Today temperatures will approach 90 degrees. There will be a SLIGHT chance for a passing shower, but most of us will remain dry. The image to the right shows you the HIRES NAM's forecast high temps for the day. I believe it is a bit underdone as most of us should hit 90 degrees.

Last night, I posted on my Facebook page regarding AccuWeather that they had posted their first thoughts regarding this year's Winter Forecast. Right now, the forecast is on their paid site. Once they post it to the rest of the public, I will be sure to share it with you guys. Again, my first thoughts on this year's Winter will not be posted on this blog or my Facebook page until late September at the earliest.

This past month started off very active. Anywhere from reports of several tornadoes to intense strait line wind damage we had it all within the first 20 days of July. The second half ended rather calm and hot, which continues to be the case as we head into August. Just how do our July temperatures look compared to average? Well thanks to a cool start to the month, most of Central PA including Dauphin County ended the month with SLIGHT BELOW AVERAGE temperatures. You would not know it after the minor heat wave we have been having the past 10 days or so. The map below is courtesy of WeatherBell which shows you a Temperature anomaly in Celsius for July.
