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

I am too. Up north, I'm way on the outside looking in.

The same areas keep getting it over and over again. Same thing with winter storms. Wish I knew why it happens.

No doubt I'll miss out on the action again...

That and storm lovers. I love storms, don't get them. My wife hates them, get them where she works. In reality, I think someone sprayed storm repellent on me when I wasn't paying attention.

I got 0.1" according to the USGS automated gauge a quarter mile upstream from my house along the river...lol

And as usual, the worst looked like it was heading towards Tamaqua but struck south. That town just repels severe storms.

Severe warned coming up soon. Southern Schuylkill already warned. Looks like some good stuff incoming from the southwest.

I will. I've had two stations with wind cups, and I could almost never get a reading above 20 mph, no matter how windy it was. I've had the house shake, check the reading and...15.9 mph. Doesn't seem right. The readings themselves were questionable. I had many, MANY, 13.6, 15.9, and 17.2 readings. Like it had pre-programmed increments. We'll see how the rain sensor works, but I've had a few times where the tipper in my station would get stuck in the tipped position and then stop measuring. It'll be interesting to see if the sensors in this one do better.

I didn't have to lean too much. Station already ordered.

I wish I could give a Tamaqua weather report, but my station took a crap. The main unit fried when I had to shut power down briefly. I could get a new main unit, but I've been intrigued by the Tempest weather stations, so leaning toward just getting a new set-up.

You are right about the humidity. It's overcast out and I'm still sweating profusely just sitting in a chair outside.

Are there any wildfires going on in PA? We've got a Phoenix AZ type brown haze here in Tamaqua and the air has a bit of a smoky smell.

That's crazy...

Driving up 100 from Fogelsville to New Tripoli. I don't know if it produced anything rotation-wise, but there were plenty of reports of hail from McAdoo through Lansford and Summit Hill to Palmerton. Can't wait to hear from my wife to see and hear what she encountered as she left work.

There is actually a good one rolling southeast from Pottsville to Hamburg, and again up in WB/Scranton. I'm splitting the goal posts....again. Guess that's going to be the storm pattern for the summer.

Yup. That's how I knew about it. My radar app dinged me with a notification.
