what are talking about? The drought ended back in July for the LV. Hell, I had 2.5 in of rain two days ago at my house. I would be more worried about us having a neutral winter this year and record cold come mid December . Enjoy your Halloween as the frigid air will come back near Thanksgiving this winter with more nor'easter chances.

2.15 inches at house in LMT= still raining

Getting hammered. Best t storms in a long time. Lighting hitting homes in our area. Thunder shaking the whole house. Picked up nearly an inch so far. This rain helped the corn and soybean yields

1.25 at my house. Nice steady downpours tonight. There is no drought now with over 3.5 in the past week. The soybeans are the greenest I have seen them in a long time. Dewpoints in the 40's will be welcomed- more evening fires in the fire pit.

2.45 in of rain thus far. Million dollar rain for the spike corned

holy snikes. I am getting shit kicked out of me as far as downpours.go. It is raining at a full 2 inches+ an hour here in lower macungie at 4:45 pm. Flash flood warnings will be issued soon.

I am still waiting for a winter storm warning event LOL. You know its dry when another sinkhole opens up a 100 ft wide crater right across the street from the Amazon Center in Palmer Township. The hurricane in a few weeks will take care of any drought conditions. Planting grass seed is impossible in these conditions. This is seal your driveway or paint the fence weather dry and hot.

Drought guy says cmon baby. Only a major hurricane riding up the coast will be our savior. The corn is already spiking in western lehigh county. Everone else east of s mountain got inches of rain as we got zilch .....lots of complaints about turning off the normal rain pattern in july. This what you get brown lawns everwhere here in lower macungie. We have been the screw zone since mid july.

Mike Gorse, fwiw,--the current point forecast for Ancient Oaks in Lehigh County does not display the current flood warning- strangeIt maybe because Its for Perkiomen stream only and not the Little lehigh. I guess Thanks

2.25 inches of rain at my house - Spring Creek is at flood stage and rising quickly. Been a long time since we have reached flood stage. Yes I will declare this drought over guys at this time. These long duration rains are now bringing up the base flows of the streams. Corn is coming up nicely in my area of Lehigh County. If the farmer is trying to plant it now, it could be a loss. The loss however is not just the rain but with the extreme cooler temps. Usually by now, we have temps in the mid to upper 80's with a few days of 90's. In fact, we maybe back in the 40's for overnight lows and highs only in the upper 60's for June 1 ------ Coolest I have seen for us in June but it does save on the AC bills. But after Wednesday, we go back into the oven. Watch the mold counts grow big time.

I attended the Iron Pigs game last night. Cold unstable air mass showers popping up throughout the game. Observed three rainbows with one of them being a double rainbow. However, if you look directly over the US foods advertising board, in these photos in right field, there appears to be a cold air funnel forming with the cold unstable air mass in place. I would like Mike and his team to look at these photos for verification. It did not appear to be a simple rain shaft but actually appeared to have rotation and looked like a funnel. If this was indeed a cold air funnel, this would be extreme for our area but I would not doubt its formation with this very cold unstable air mass above in late May.

LMAO- Guess its time to change my alias to flood guy now

Thanks Mike I should have said "possible" left out the word. Sorry. It appears to be an EF0 after looking at the tree damage video more closely but FWIW to shear of tree tops and twist them like that would have easily destroyed a home if the funnel actually reached the ground and was not over a forested area, which why I said a possible EFI .
