    My forecast for today...sunny My reality at this time...cloudy
  2. Voyager
    For sure. That was amazing!
  3. Voyager
    You yell at me about heat in the car, and look at you. Wearing a winter coat...lol
  4. Voyager
    Oh, and for this morning, down to 51 at approximately 4:45am. The usual cold spots (especially where my work home base is) are down into the mid and upper 40's.
  5. Voyager
    That was one of the most impressive posts I've seen! I don't know how you do it, but what an amazing breakdown. Thanks so much!

    I can't seem to tolerate "extremes" on either side of the calendar anymore. Cold always bothered me, but now summer heat and humidity does as well. I probably should move to San Diego.

    Driving back and forth over the Blue Mountain multiple times per day, it's easy to see the haves and have nots just by looking at the lawns on either side. Green in Schuylkill County and brown in Lehigh County.

    53 this morning here. I'd be wearing jeans today for work if I had an earlier start than 8am. By the time I load the first tank of the day, the sun is starting to warm things up. Gonna need the heat in the car, though, for starters.

    We had very little sunshine, and really not much of anything this afternoon as far as storms were concerned.
  10. Voyager
    We did here in the Skook. I got my notification about 10 minutes ago
  11. Voyager
    Yeah, I think we're just about done as the last cell has moved northeast. I didn't think we'd pick up close to an inch in the forecasted first round. Ended up with 0.92" in my backyard. Locations to my immediate north (Hometown, Lake Hauto) are showing between 1.25" and 1.50".

    Outside with my second coffee and smoke, and she's flashing and booming a bit now. And as I type this the rain is getting heavy again. These morning storms seem to be training right up through Schuylkill County.
  13. Voyager
    Yeah. No thunder, but heavy rain. Woke me up at 4:30AM and already got 0.36"
  14. Voyager
    It's not generating buzz on any of the forums.
  15. Voyager
    Sure is quiet in here (and in the Pittsburgh sub) considering the severe threat tomorrow.
  16. Voyager
    I'm on Wunderground. It's in my signature.
  17. Voyager
    I did as you suggested, and one in town about quarter mile away was 0.95". One in Hometown, perhaps a mile or so north was one inch exactly, and the USGS gauge, which is also about a quarter mile north of me along the river, (it measures river stage) was at 1.45".
  18. Voyager
    I got 0.10" more between 11 and 12 last night to take my total to 1.93" for the day. Caveat...what I mentioned about the USGS gauge being lower. It's total was 1.45". My dilemma. Which is more accurate? A tipping bucket or a hepatic gauge?
  19. Voyager
    I was just about to post that it looked like you were going to get hit soon. We never destabilized after the earlier rains. I thought some of that action might have made it here, but it seems like east of the river, the storms died.
  20. Voyager
    The complex that was out by Williamsport seems to have weakend, but there's another line behind it that looks fairly potent. If it can hold together, perhaps we can get a good nocturnal showing out of it.
  21. Voyager
    So I was checking out AccuWeather's future radar, and it shows the Williamsport complex dropping southeast to about Hazleton and then curving east northeast. Does the upper air steering currents support this, or is it's depiction likely wrong?
  22. Voyager
    I don't know what happened. The rain seemed to train over the area. One concern I have is that I looked at the USGS Tamaqua gauge and it showed a bit less than my backyard. It shows 1.25". I wonder how accurate the hepatic rain gauge on the Tempest is. More and more, I've been contemplating going back to a traditional weather station with a tipping bucket and wind cups.
  23. Voyager
    It really is. There was always the possibility of morning showers, but we got a few bursts of heavy rain (with embedded thunder) that started about 8:30am and continued until noon.
  24. Voyager
    Well, I certainly did NOT expect 1.83" of rain from "round one", but that what I got in my backyard. With that said, I wonder if it stabilized the air mass enough that it thwarts our chances here for potential severe later on. It seems as if the focus is on points southeast as of now.
  25. Voyager
    Yeah, it got better here too Is the rain more widespread that originally forecast? I thought there would be a distinct lull, and even potential clearing between the first round, and what comes later, but looking at radar, clouds and rain still stretch across most of the central part of the state from southwest to northeast.
