All Activity

Getting some distant thunder and a few flashes. Storm looks to track just south of here.

Today’s weather sucked. Nothing but the hum of ACs.

I guess this will be the longest duration heat wave of the summer for many

lol the heavy rain just finds me every storm this year

Looks like a window may be opening in the Tropical Atlantic so some development may very well be possible, but as you said…it gets real hostile real fast further west. I just don’t see it. We’re going to have windows but man, the overall environment looks anemic at best for any activity.

Didn't have the time this year. Last year however...

.40"

"I’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats." It's all beginning to come clearer.

Quick 0.41" here!

It’ll come. Most likely when It fucks me the most!

My peppers and tomatoes are loving this humidity,

hoping this look holds

In a perfect world, I would love no rain for the second half of July till the end of August. Tobacco harvest weather. Before said dates, tobacco loves the dew lovers weather. Veggies, on the other hand, violently disagree. Can’t please everyone, even in the fields.

Yeah. Wells hurts if your still trying to compete this year.

Congrats DC?

Can clearly see the anvil top from the CT I-84 storms from here.

next thursday looking violent

Nice storm to my north. Swing and Miss

.07" today. Major rain producing cell vanished directly overhead.

Explains everything!

High of 90 today. No measurable rain today but we did have a 10 sec burst of rain.

I think you're seeing a very real mesoscale pattern that's been repeating this summer for the LV happening again. The Pennsylvania Turnpike has almost acted like a dividing line on many convective days. Storm complexes have repeatedly tracked from southwest to northeast across Lancaster, Chester, southern Berks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, while much of the Lehigh Valley has ended up on the northern edge of the heavier precipitation shield. That's left areas south of the Turnpike with repeated 1–3 inch downpours while parts of the Lehigh Valley have watched storms either weaken or split apart before arriving. From a meteorological standpoint, several things can contribute: Storms have been following a persistent southwest-to-northeast steering flow. The heaviest instability has often remained just south of the Lehigh Valley. Outflow boundaries from earlier storms have repeatedly focused new thunderstorm development farther south. Small shifts of only 20–40 miles in the storm track can mean one county receives 3 inches while the next gets almost nothing. My observation about "after a good agricultural saving rain last week—zilch the last three days" is exactly how this pattern behaves. One widespread soaking rain doesn't necessarily end the drought problem if subsequent thunderstorms keep missing the area. Lehigh County still has a significant portion of the population affected by drought or abnormally dry conditions despite recent rainfall. If this continues another week or two, you'll likely start seeing: corn and soybean stress on lighter soils, reduced stream base flows, increased irrigation demand, and a growing contrast between southern Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley in rainfall totals. Sometimes it feels like the "7–10 split" has become almost a standing feature this summer, even though it's really the repeated positioning of storm tracks rather than a fixed weather boundary. It only takes a slight shift in the upper-level flow for the Lehigh Valley to suddenly become the target instead of Lancaster and Philadelphia. I hope this happens soon.

I always find it amusing when it rains with the sun shining, lol Had that a couple hours ago here. Now this is ACTUAL liquid sunshine...not the psychological kind people try to label regular cloudy rain (end pet peeve rant)
