Which is one of the reasons I'd like to have seen this move east as time progressed. Aside from my selfish, weather enthusiast mentality that wants to be in the "bullseye" for a weather event, I, too, feel sorry for those who've already seen massive flooding, and are seeing buckets of unwanted rain yet again.

And they can start with Tamaqua. It hasn't {{{yawn}}} rained a drop here all day...

I'm right there with you. It's why we are weather enthusiasts. Anomalous and historical weather is what a lot of us crave. I, for the most part, hate winter, and even snow, but...if the potential is there, then I want a blizzard. It's no different with the warmer seasons. Severe storms, training rain events, hurricanes...etc. I love following and tracking them, and even more-so, experiencing them when they happen.

It sure is. Just looked at the radar, and although the trajectory has changed a bit, the same areas that got it the past few days are getting it yet again.

I tried that for my location the other day by saying CTP should cancel the flood watch here. It didn't work...lol We did get 3.5" here today, though.

Picked up 0.81" here since midnight with the heaviest falling right as my wife was leaving for work. As for me, I get to go to Honesdale this afternoon and pick up a group and take them into JFK Airport. it'll be interesting to see what I encounter during my travels, AND what I might come home to later.

You really can't make this stuff up. All the action to the west that I'm missing out on, and now the east as well...

I wish I could. I guess it bothers me somewhat because it's not just this event. Every single time we get a set up like this the same area gets it, and I sit painfully just east of the action.

Riddle me this. What is causing the same areas to get dumped on while others get very little? It seems the plume has originated over the Chesapeake Bay the past 3 days and moved right up the Susquehanna valley and it's tributary locations.

I have 2.25" for the whole event since Sunday morning. Today's total (so far) was 0.55" I suppose it's better than Allentown, though. According to WNEP, they only got 0.06" today.

Looking at the radar, CTP may as well drop the flood watch for Eastern Schuylkill County. We aren't getting crap out of this. The plumes just keep training over the same damn area with nothing upstream to even give me any hope...

I was about to say that you guys down there look to be getting some action soon.

Cluster of storms rolled through from the south a few minutes ago, but miraculously split right in town and regrouped north of me. I got a whole whopping tenth of an inch out of it...

I mentioned that to my wife yesterday. Similar set up, but perhaps not as wet...

I should be, but the weather "geek" in me wants to see something interesting in my own locale. It sounds sick, but in a way it's not unlike those who want to see that 30+ inch blizzard in their own backyard. After all, isn't that why we follow the weather? To experience the anomalous?

Yup. The southwestern half. Up my way, nada. Everything missed west, as usual. I'm at 1.83" in the same time period. And only 0.13" since midnight. I can't even squish any water in my backyard when I walk through it. Saturday: 1.20" Saturday overnight: 0.00" Sunday: 0.50" Sunday overnight: 0.02" Monday (so far); 0.11"

I swear, the Susquehanna Valley is just a heavy rain magnet. Every time we get an event like this, the training, and heaviest precipitation seems to run right up the Susquehanna. Never to the east. Being a weather "geek", I love anomalous events, especially in my backyard, but it never happens...

Picked up a quick half inch in Tamaqua. I wonder where that cluster in Maryland is headed?

Looking at the current radar, I can see who might end up getting shafted again...

Per the CTP discussion, it looks like the rich may get richer (if you like anomalous weather) Precipitation is expected to be much less organized today but may fall over areas that have received 3+ inches of rain in the past 12-18 hours. With soils saturated in some areas, the locally heavy rain will have the potential to produce isolated flooding/runoff issues. Unlike yesterday, confidence in the QPF details is quite low. However, there appears to be a +RA signal in the 06Z HREF mean/blend QPF that would place a QPF max very close to where the highest amounts were recently observed.

1.20" here from the hybrid/noreaster. Now to see where the heaviest rains fall the rest of the week...

When it come to weather, Schuylkill County is the most boring place in Central/East Pennsylvania. 0.30" here. That's it...

So the Susquehanna and point west jackpot? Nothing new here... Same old same old when it comes to BIG rain events it seems.

Got 1.72 up here in Tamaqua.

Getting a good, gully washing boomer this morning. No "Tamaqua Split" this time...
