Of interest (whether good for storms or not) is that we were partly to mostly sunny all afternoon. Now, the clouds that we've had around are pushing south, and we have a totally cloudless sky. Just wondering if that's going to fuel bigger and better storms, or if it's going to hinder our chances for severe. 68/51 currently.

It's been sunny up in Tamaqua for about 2 hours now. Up to 63 degrees so far as well.

I just came along to mention the same exact thing. Seems to me that this one may produce better than Monday did.

The last part of this post is where the truth lies.

I don't care if this entire forum puts me on ignore, but I'm sick of this. Saturday Sunny, with a high near 44. This blasted pattern has been persistent since Thanksgiving. You'd think that western heat would eventually move east, but NO.... It's rucking fidiculous. My wife keeps telling me to move out to AZ and be happy again, but I can see her dinging for alimony, taking half my paycheck, and then I'd be worse off instead of better I have such a wonderful future........ not.

It's disgusting and depressing.

Not a bad day today. 59 in the backyard, and even 54 where I am today up in Hazleton.

If only we could get that to the East Coast...

Me too!

Sunny and 50 in Fogelsville.

My night shift truck partner had a fear of God moment last night. She was north bound, empty, on 309, just about to the base of the Blue Mountain when all hell broke loose. Blinding rain and wind so strong that she thought our taker truck was going to lay over on its side. She parked and waited. After it passed, she managed to get up over the mountain, but she said it looked like a war zone with trees and wires down up the entire Lehigh County side. End result of that was a 16 hour closure of 309 going over the mountain for clean up and utility repairs.

So I look outside and find out that a squall went through and dropped 3/4 inch....

I haven't heard anything yet. I went up the mountain after my last load when it finally opened, and you couldn't tell that anything even happened.

Yup. They opened it up sometime around 5pm.

Whatever ripped on the Blue Mountain out my way was nasty. 309 was closed for 14 hours for cleanup. My night shift partner hit it and thought it was going to flip the truck.
