Well, THIS caught me off guard this morning....
Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms likely before 11pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 11pm and 2am, then showers after 2am. Low around 53. Light north wind. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
Up to 0.29" now in my backyard.
We now have a rain gauge at out water loading facility, and that one shows 0.30" so pretty even rainfall across my immediate region.
I said to the wife this morning that we do extremes quite well here. Told her that once the pattern flips we'll probably go extended dry and warm/hot.
Not that I'm complaining about it. Just that it probably happens...
Yup. Snedeker on WNEP showed a coastal low riding up on Saturday that would wash out most of the weekend. The NWS on the other hand shows some showers on Saturday and a decent Sunday.
If I had a pool and wanted to go swimming, I'd want it warmer, but for regular picnic purposes, this IS perfection.
And what a chamber of commerce sky it is today with the puffy, fair weather clouds.
Yes, I saw that. I believe even Allentown has quite a bit less than I do. Personally, I consider anything east of the Susquehanna to be Eastern PA, but officially (and per my NWS region) I'm actually in Central PA, and by default, NEPA.
