That would be a good thing. Even if we get a passing shower or two, the day would be salvageable. One year, we had an all-day soaker with temps in the low 60's with everyone stuck sitting under the pavilion for entire event, with many wearing hoodies as it was quite damp and chilly. It was a miserable day.

So, range of qpf for the Tamaqua area is between 1.5 and 2.5 inches for the weekend event per my point and click forecast. Of course it's welcome from a drought standpoint, but it's going to totally F up our family reunion event on Saturday. It's always the third weekend of August, and most times the weather is quite nice, but it appears that it won't be the case this year.

TMI...
-
Yeah, pretty much.
-
I'd worry more about a certain green tagger...
-
Lol...I know you are. In all honesty, that renegade storm ruined a night out as it was the high school "Meet the Raiders" pep rally event where the fall sports teams, cheerleaders, and marching band members are introduced to the public. It obviously got canceled.

Getting pounded by a surprise storm that's moving south from Hazleton.
-
Got up to a surprising 86 (85.8) for the high today.
-
It is if you want to keep your truck and Jeep clean...lol
-
Yeah. I needed 4 staples to close it. It's sore and smarts at times, but it really pulls and hurts, mostly when I drink something for some reason.
-
Had to air up a tire on my truck, but had to go under another trailer with the air hose to get to it.
-
So I did a thing today....
-
My day shift truck partner shot these at the spring last night...
-
I hear ya. Not only is the low visibility bad, but the insanely loud splats of the raindrops hitting the windshield can be unnerving.
-
So many times it's like this. Gorgeous weather the day after a big storm.
-
So the final tally for my backyard station from yesterday was 4.43" giving me 5.96" for the week/event starting with the storms on Tuesday afternoon.
-
So this happened since my last post....
-
Torrential rain now. Up to 1.53" now for today. Might crack 2" if it continues for awile. My apologies for being a Debby downer during this event...
-
Getting our best rain/wind now with a band moving in from the southwest. Looks like things might settle down some before I start my work shift, however.
-
You can't make this shit up...lol Current... Future...
-
Case in point. This stuff is moving south to north. Of course it missed JUST to the east of me...
-
Of course it does. I know I'll get flamed for this, but so many times the interesting, or anomalous weather misses me west, east, north, or south. Tamaqua seems to sit in a benign location. Even Sandy kind of "hopped" over the town. While areas all around me had flooding, winds, and power outages, if you were in Tamaqua, you'd have asked "what storm?" I stood on my porch and listened to the wind roar on the ridgetops, but yet at my house it was just a somewhat breezy night.
-
So far we've had 1.01" since midnight, and .86" yesterday for a two day tally of 1.87" which comes out to 2.54" since Tuesday. In a lull right now, but it's breezy and tropical feeling this morning. Not sure if we see any more "feeder bands" or not this morning and when/if some of that main slug out west comes through.
-
Yup. Just open the hatch and let nature load it.
-
I'm still on the outside looking in...
