Still sitting in Allentown (3 hour wait to unload) but that looks like it has eyes for Tamaqua.

Only got a tenth of an inch out of it, but it produced a nice rainbow.

Just north of Harrisburg is in line for a lot of rain.

I’ll be the first one to say it…radar does not look very exciting right now lol. Everything is weakening! We’ll see what happens over the next couple hours. 

The line looked like it meant business approaching Bloomsburg, but by the time it got to Tamaqua, well...you all know my story.

Howz about that thunder boomer over night

What's a thunderboomer? We haven't had one of those this year yet, so I know not of what you speak...

This should clear up by 1ish for some instability to bound up before late afternoon. I think there will be severe in the NW and SE portions of this forum. 

We're still socked in at 1:20pm, so I don't know. The sun TRIED to pop out at my grandson's baseball game but it was just brief couple minutes. 

I'm not betting on anything severe though. We have the usual lead gray, solid overcast here this morning. Seems like any time we have strong to severe potential we battle with overcast and cool (68 degree) weather.

If it weren't for green vegetation, it would look like a snow day...

Gfs showing mid 40s in the colder spots for Wed and Thurs morning.  Pretty refreshing stuff . Summer time bonus temps  in my book.

Rooting for an ol fashioned boomer this evening. 

My point and click forecast...

I think the 128 is the hottest temperature ever recorded in AZ. (Though it has an outside chance of being matched this week.)

I believe it is.

Nice!! But that was dry heat 

Aliens reference lol 

It was, but I used to deliver new tires to distributors and tire and auto shops at that time, and I did the unloading. Let me tell you, it was brutal in that trailer...

Hottest I ever was when I was at a Orioles tryout held at Shepherdstown, WV in July  1995 . It hit 105 and I pitched 2 innings for the scouts . I thought my head would explode . It was hell on earth . 

Hottest for me was 128 at Bullhead City, AZ back in the late 90's when I lived in Phoenix.

My brother lives in Orwigsburg between Pottsville and Hamburg, and they got pounded by rain on Thursday. Many flooded houses and substantial damage reported.

Yeah, I heard it was bad over that way. I saw some of the effects (a muddy road from farm field flow-off) on PA895 west of New Ringgold heading toward PA61 yesterday morning. I didn't get one drop of rain from that, or any other storm, that afternoon/evening.

Trying to sneak up on the one inch total with 0.87" now.

0.65" here.

I really wasn't expecting this much after seeing CTP's Facebook graphics the past two days.

It's chilly out this morning...

2 to 5 feet of snow...bring it!

 

But what if you were on the outside looking in?

Oh so close, yet not one single drop at my house...

Watching this...

Because of this. Big truck (not the oversize) brought wires and a pole down on PA 100.

I was going to cut back on posting but this forum seems to be healthier now than over the winter.  Maybe lack of snow did that.    But I do enjoy following the updates on the latest model trends.   Keep em coming. 

Yeah, this forum is usually dead this time of year.

You better report that to the MA Cicada thread! 

Speaking of cicadas, the Hazleton area is infested with them, yet nothing in my neighborhood. I even had one land on my neck while I was loading my water... 

Then this guy showed up on the spring house wall...

Flood advisories here in Allentown, and back home in Tamaqua? A paltry 0.01" of rain. I swear I live in the boringest, most benign weather location in Pennsylvania. Even in Hurricane Sandy I only had a 23 mph gust and about an inch of rain. Snowstorms, hahaha...nada chance.

It's sticky outside...

I wouldn't necessarily mind those temps if it weren't for the shower chances each day.

91 at 4 pm. I’m surprised it isn’t hotter today. 

93 (92.7) here at 4:00pm. Hottest day of the year so far.

88/58 here so it's a dry heat...lol

Changed the post as it bumped up to 91.8 at some point in the past few minutes.
