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.
-
A little late to the party, but yesterday turned out to be a rather nice day up this way. Overcast in the morning, but that gave way to a muted sun during the afternoon. We got about 10 raindrops around 5pm, then nothing the rest of the night.
-
I just really can't do take-out anymore. I need to sit down and have a hot freshly cooked meal at my table, not luke warm and drying out from the 15-30 minute drive home. Carbon County is going green next week, and since my wife works over there, I told her to make reservations somewhere, anywhere, NOW, so we don't get shut out next week by the rush to return to normal.
-
We've been overcast all day here. Not sure we destabilize enough for big storms and heavy rain.
-
Which areas?
-
That Halifax storm yesterday had me intrigued as I was following the radar returns. It looked pretty intense with lots of lightning strikes. I even posted about it earlier.
-
Wow...that WAS cool to watch!
-
Nope. We actually were in a hole. I knew it would fill in, and it did. I just had to post it to laugh at myself for how much I complain (sometimes warranted) at my weather woes...
-
-
I dunno. I'm an "anomalous" weather junkie, so I kind of want to get slammed, be it a blizzard, severe storm, hurricane, etc. Look at the radar now. Once the complex got past Tamaqua, it really came together over the Poconos. We seem to either kill or create storms. We just very rarely get hit square on with one.
-
Look at where I live. Two cells following each other to my south. Like Bob Ueker said, "just a bit outside". I've never lived in a more boring weather town than Tamaqua...
-
That storm that just rolled through Halifax had to at least been a good one. Looked like quite a few lighting strikes with it per radar.
-
What??? Were you up here in Tamaqua yesterday?
-
I got 0.2" from getting fringed by two rounds. Unbelievable how both complexes hit or missed basically the same locations
