I'd be disappointed if you weren't lol 

For years I've watched everyone from the Philly forum, the NYC forum, and even you guys in CPA posting that it's "puking snow", "best lighting I've ever seen", "never saw it rain so hard", etc. 

I just want my one day where I can be king of the weather hill...

Flash Flood Watch up for Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster and York counties from 1 p.m. today through 1 a.m. tomorrow morning. 

Between Mt Holly and CTP, they wrapped 'em right around the Skook. Could I be on the outside looking in ONCE AGAIN???

The Reading Rain Shield™ will be tested tonight....

I see you trademarked yours as well...lol

Last night I missed some good ones as they formed and got everyone from Hazleton to McAdoo and over into Lehighton. Basically anything along and west of 309 got little if any action.

That trough forming early net week I think is gonna bring a bunch of flooding to this region snd NE re: Ida. 

Looks like a possibility.

Looks like you have a cell overbred right now. I hadn’t looked at radar all day - no need when it was full sun … did a little cell split you again? Saturday looks stormy for most of us.  

There was some big stuff north of me between here and Hazleton along 309 and over to Lehighton. Most missed and we got 0.14" of rain with no lightning/thunder.

I'm proposing a name change for Schuylkill County. Henceforth, it will now be known as STORMkill County...

95.2 for the high. Told you guys today would be hotter.

You're cooking up there - I'm at 84.2 right now.

91.2 now. Heat index over 100.

Nice Peter Sinks, UT is where I want to be. 

Death Valley for me...lol

Also, 87.4 in my backyard at 10:50am. Might get hotter than yesterday's high of 94 that I had.

High of 93.7 officially here in the Eastern Skook.

91 so far in Coalcrackerville...

A hot week is here...I think we end up around 96-97 by Thursday. Might have made a run at 100 if not for the saturated ground around here. I was outside last evening and noticed areas where water still hasn't fully soaked into the ground yet. 

There is still run off in some areas down in the Lehigh Valley.  

3.41" in the gauge for the event after a couple of passing afternoon showers. 

This was the creek and lawn behind our shop this morning...

Quite surprised this morning. Event total of 3.11" as of 4:45am. We had 1.77" yesterday (8/22) and 1.34" so far today (8/23).

Looks like @Voyager is seeing a lot of rain. Wonder if that pivots down into Harrisburg? 

Not quite as much as I'd have thought looking at radar and seeing it first hand, but still, a respectable 0.80" so far here.

@Voyagerwill be super happy!

Absolutely I will. Nothing interesting or exciting happens in Tamaqua, so a big weather event at least gives me something to track/watch unfold.

It looks like a nice heavy band is going to set up JUST north of me (go figure)...

Current and future radar give the Poconos and Hazleton to Scranton a good dousing for the next few hours. Meanwhile, here in my backyard, the rain is so light it's not even registering a rate. I've had 3/100 of an inch since my 8:15am report.

So far, as of 8:15am, we have 0.40" in the gauge...

And on another note. Someone put this out there:

I saw that. This might be a good winter to spend some time with my mom. Maybe for 2-3 months...lol

Yea and I keep posting it because 1) The Hrrr usually does not show qpf in that amounts.  2) It will not let go of the low coming in so far south and west them looping back over PA.  I know better than to try and forecast this myself but still something to keep an eye on.  And with tropical systems the model qpf's are frequently low in the areas that end up with the most.

True, and tropical systems don't always follow the GFS/NAM/EURO depictions. There always seems to be a surprise or two in how it eventually plays out.

The HRRR still giving parts of LSV a thumping.   Waynesboro just picked up 1 1/4" of rain in 40 min.  Rain Forest tropical downpour.  Nothing in the 'Ville so far. 

 

 

I was just going to post this. The HRRR has been pretty consistent with bringing Henri into Eastern PA. I'd get 5-6 inches of rain out of it if it verified as depicted.

Well this is a kick in the nuts this morning...

A surprising 62 this Am.  Watching Henri so much I forgot to to watch temps in the back yard.  Humid though.  

My low was 66.4 this morning. If it was 0.2 degrees warmer it would have been hell outside...lol

I'm rooting for a last minute shift west for sure . I'm fine with a couple wraparound downpours but a 2-4" or 3-5" event would be fun to track 

Oh boy. You bet it would! it would also make for an interesting ride from Tamaqua to Tower City to Sunbury Monday morning. Perhaps a soggy, wet Pillow?
