I'm up to 0.80" for the day as I type. 

4.64" since last Friday night.

Check out this video. The driver films going through the I-40 gorge in TN and NC. You can see the extent of the incredible damage from last year's historical flooding event as well as the current reconstruction going on.

Thank you very much for that. I'll keep everyone posted.

Wishing you the best.

Tomorrow night could turn into a soaker east of the main stem Susquehanna:

That would put me close to 6" (of rain) since this past Friday.

Crazy the lack of rain southeast of me. I'm at 3.84" since Friday night.

When I get today's video edited and uploaded to YouTube and shared here, ya'll gotta check it out. It's gonna be a doozy!

What we've got going on here in the east. Fogelville/Allentown to be exact. Broken clouds and sunshine and quite muggy...

And here in Tamaqua we have broken clouds and sunshine. We'll see if that helps any storm formation later.

Just picked up 0.13 in a quick, heavy shower.

There was a tornado in Shoemakersville, Berks County also.

Breezy with an off and on drizzle here. Just the kind of rainy day I like...not.

1.98" looks like it may be the day's total. Doesn't look like much coming up in the next few hours.

Today's rain has missed to the east

 

And to your northwest. I've got 1.95" in the gauge since midnight up here in Tamaqua.

So much for a steady soaker. It's pretty much been downpouring here for about a half hour plus.

Up to 1.69" for the day now...

I'm not a fan of gloomy weekend days, but this is good. A nice steady soaker.

1.14" so far today, and 1.68" since Friday night.

0.09" here...

My new grass is begging for more.

Begging worked.

Since midnight, I recorded 0.90" 

0.09" here...

My new grass is begging for more.

Over in Pottsville having dinner and the air feels dry. I expected it to be a bit muggy today, but it doesn't feel like a storm day. At least not right now.

Yeah that's what I've been reading. Big-time wind threat, moderate hail and low tornado threat. MU says the winds won't veer enough for more than a weak, isolated spinup.

I love good strong to severe storms. I'm just not into the hail component. We had a hail storm here in Tamaqua a bunch of years back with golf ball sized hail and it did a number on everyone's cars. Some had broken windshields and/or rear windows, but everyone had some good sized dimples.

High end of my NWS forecast gives me over 3 inches of rain by Monday night.

Had a couple of decent hits. One as I was leaving Fogelville and one at the yard when I parked the truck.

.18" in my backyard.

I wish I would have posted yesterday's map for comparison...suffice to say, this escalated quickly:
 

I have to look elsewhere for a map with county lines, but that 4-5 inch swath looks like it runs right up the I-81 corridor and into the Poconos.

It looks like 3-4 inches of rain for some of Pa. till next Wednesday. But i'm sure that will change with time.

That's a good amount of rain if it verifies. I just wish it wasn't going to take 5-6 consecutive dark and dreary days to get it.

What a shitty weather pattern coming up next week...ugh

NWS State College was late to the party again the 2nd time this year on Severe Thunderstorm Warning for my location. They issued the warning while the storm was already in progress at my location.

And as fast as the line fizzled, my warning was unfounded. It's crazy what that I-81 ridge from Tremont to Hazleton can do. It happens a lot...
