Check out this shelf cloud south of Fogelville...

0.59" so far here. Radar looks juicy to the west and south though.

Looks like most of that popcorn is in true central PA right now. Not sure if it pops here in the east or not. Time will tell I guess.

So I got (much to my chagrin) 0.22" overnight. My frustration with the storms hitting the same areas (NEPA) not withstanding is not why I posted this. My reason is that I'm pretty impressed with the new Tempest weather station I bought. While perusing nearby stations, I'm within five one hundredths of everyone else. The range is from 0.17" to 0.26" all around me. At least one of them is a Davis Vantage Pro 2, so the hepatic gauge seems to be pretty accurate. I can't get a good read on wind, though, as we really haven't had anything noteworthy yet, as well as the fact that my station is mounted a bit low for now until I get a mast for it. So with that said, I have no problem recommending a Tempest for anyone in the market for a simple, easy to set up, station.

I have no hope for Tamaqua. Most boring weather shit hole in the state....

Judging by the current radar presentation as well as being on the eastern edge of the flood watch, I'll be on the outside looking in again today. This time to my west.

Impressive! Please send that this way please. My new Tempest wx station needs a good test. Also need to figure out a new mount. It's too low right now because I had a 1.25" pole for the old one and this one has a one inch mount. Current thinking is to use an old rake handle, unless I can find a one inch metal pole at the hardware store. And....I am connected to Wunderground now, so my signature has the new station link.

Wouldn't it have come out of the clouds?

I guess this was a failed attempt at a bit of humor...

I forgot to cover my new weather station and now it's getting wet because it's raining....

Just looked and indeed they are. Very slow movers, too. Wayne County in NEPA is also getting it good. With this soup outside, I'm surprised it isn't more widespread, and is pretty much confined to those two locations

Up and running. Set up was easy peasy. Just have to figure out how to link it to Wunderground.

I found a present on my front porch. Not sure if I can get it set up before we go out to dinner or not, but I'll be back in PWS business soon!!!

Man, do I ever miss having a weather station. Hopefully my new one comes over the weekend.

You sound just like me. I know it's probably wrong, but I want my turn with a true severe event with flooding rains, wind, and strobe like lightning. Just like in winter with snow, I want to get dumped on. I'm a "go big, or go home" type of weather weenie...lol
