It's an Acu-Rite all in one. I got it back in 2012, so they make a nice, newer, more technically advanced set-up these days that's fairly reasonable in price. https://www.acurite.com/shop-all/weather-instruments/weather-stations.html -
I can't seem to get a good grip on what this potential tropical system is going to do. The NAM seems to want to keep it east of the Delaware river now, while the GFS now is bringing decent rains into Eastern PA. The Euro from 0z looks like the NAM and the Canadians were always OTS.

Today's total (so far)
-
More rain. I'll have an updated "total" when I get back in the house...
-
We just got another 1.50" of rain today. I guess from here on out I better shut up about the Tamaqua Split...
-
Had one last little burst that put us up to 2.82" for the event. Both storms that got us formed nearly right over Tamaqua, and just kept building. Each one produced hail, but the second one was more intense than the first and produced the larger sized stones pictured, as well as wind that brought down a few large tree limbs. There was about a half hour lull between the storms. The USGS automated gauge shows slightly more at almost exactly 3 inches...
-
Indeed! Hail, wind, and 2.77" of rain in back to back storms.
-
Had a pre-line storm form right over Tamaqua which split the line up in Hazleton. Now we'll be in the gap in that line created by the out front renegade.
-
Bring on the heat! It ain't summer without it... But we here in the east have been wetter than other parts of the sub forum. What we lose in temperature we may gain in humidity.
-
I saw that, but it failed...lol
-
Had what looked like a nice cell taking direct aim at us from the Bloomsburg area only to hit I-81 and nearly disintigrate. It reformed southeast of town and looks to soak West Penn Township and the Blue Mountain.
-
Just finished off a good rain storm. Not much wind and no thunder, but touched 6" per hour rates. Got 0.86" out of it in a very brief time.
-
Ended up with 0.35" overnight. A more organized cluster came up from Pine Grove after I went to bed and gave us some rain and a few rumbles of thunder.
-
Thought we were going to get a good storm as there was a line moving northeast from the Pine Grove/Tower City area toward Pottsville. As it got close, a rogue cell moved north from Kutztown up to Parryville and exploded east of Lehighton, which robbed the line to my west of most of it's energy. The Tamaqua Split® is still in effect...lol
-
For as long as I can remember. I spent more July fourths on the patio or in the house as opposed to a pool or lake. Have to add that it picked a fine week to NOT rain here. My step daughter and family are down in OCMD for vacation and I have flower and garden watering detail. Dummy me forgot about her hanging strawberry pot on Sunday and Monday morning. I hit it with water last night and just now, but it's drooping pretty good so I hope it comes back by the weekend...
-
Same pattern with the same results?
-
My radar app shows a 6 hour loop and it's amazing to watch that line advance and then totally dry up...
-
I got nothing but a few raindrops yesterday. Storms fired just southeast of me. In fact, one of my wife's friends posted pics of some storm damage south of Lehighton near the Blue Mountain on PA-895.
-
Wow...this place was dead from my post until Bubbler posted, then it lit up...
-
Somehow I got 0.36" of rain this morning. A lot more than I ever expected.
-
45 for me this morning...
-
Just to show how localized the rain was overnight, I ended up with 2.55". Five miles northeast of me had 3.75", and Hazleton (12 miles) had over Five inches.
-
Nothing like a wake up storm. Wife's in the shower, and all of a sudden, flash...boom! Last line, perhaps, rolling through with 5" per hour rates and 2.53" so far for last night/this morning's event. I've been using a new radar and it showed that we had a max of 39dBZ...
-
Yuppers! Getting rocked as I type this. Had a couple of close in strikes, and the rates are 2" per hour. Picked up 1.22" so far...
-
Can't wait to see if any of it holds together until it gets to me. Future radar doesn't look promising, though.
