Low of 43 here this morning.

Well, it turned out to be a glorious late afternoon here today. We got a brief shower earlier, but it's now partly sunny and very comfortable outside.

Looks like the first wave got some of north central PA and into Scranton and the Endless Mountain region. Now watch. Wave #2 will form southeast of I-81 and hammer Lancaster, Reading, the Lehigh Valley, and points east and south. Just like every opportunity before it.

Don't know if it was the cool August, or the lack of rainfall, but in just one week, we've had an "explosion" of tree color here in Tamaqua. Maybe only 5-10 percent, so not a lot, but last week it was basically zero percent.

I swear, seasonal patterns DO repeat themselves. This has been the story for most of the summer of 2025. SEPA through northern NJ gets the goods, and I miss everything as it all comes together too late for the Skook.

Seeing this graphic, I now have a new catch phrase to go along with the "Tamaqua Split" (which applies here). It's called the "Schuylkill Sandwich"... It is correct, though, as I recorded 0.21" from the Thursday event, and it shows Tamaqua in the 0.10" to 0.25" gradient.

Just got wollloped with a windy rainstorm out here in Lock Haven...lol

Seeing hints of color around the Hazleton area as well. Nothing of note in the lower elevations yet, though

I knew it was dry, but I hadn't really looked at the monthly total. I'm under an inch as well at just 0.91"

43 (43.3) is likely to be my low this morning. I wish I'd kept records as this might be the coldest August morning I've experienced since living in Tamaqua.

Straight up 45.0 here at 5:10am. Might dip under, but perhaps not enough for an official 44. We shall see...

So who had THE coldest low in our sub yesterday morning? I dropped to 46 (45.5).

Looks like today's storms are going to be very wildly scattered ie a big nothingburger.

Current radar looks pretty unimpressive right now. I wonder when, or if, anything good starts to fire up.

Maybe, just maybe....today's the day for Tamaqua.
