^ Got hit pretty good by that one -- big limb down in the front yard. I'd say winds gusted to 45mph.
P.S. Anyone else have trouble accessing the site? I've been getting "error" messages since Sunday.
Yeah, pretty decent but quick moving storm. I swear I won't have to water the garden this year...we don't go long before more rain.
This site is quirky at times but I've haven't had any problems lately.

Nice gusty winds/thunder/rain with this one...

picked up .78" on the entire weekend. If we hadn't gotten that slug of heavy rain last night, we would have had less than .25"... and of course the one area that saw heavy rain saturday night happened to be Camden during dead and company
Beautiful day out there today for june 4th. Perfect day to cut out of work early and go play 9....
All week and beyond look super nice. A couple showers here and there but good for the garden and to reduce pollen. Great night time sleeping w/o the A/C as well...

It'll definitely go over 1/4" where you are (I just hit 0.28"). The stuff is moving in from both the W and the SE (the 2 flows seem to be clashing right along the Lancaster/Chester County line). Also think it may just get close to that 49 mark. That high up in Canada means some business! Am flirting with 52 now.
Yeah, I'll hit above 0.25...I'm now at 0.16 with "yellows" moving in. Down to 52F...let's go 40s!

Was out at a recital in Elkins Park this afternoon and it started raining there (and here) sometime after 5:30 pm. Am gobsmacked that it is currently 53, after a midnight high of 72. Have been getting old fashioned steady rain since. Up to 0.18" for the day so far (most of that from this evening).
Just ticked down to 53F here as well with steady light rain. Expected low is 51F...it would be kinda cool to hit the 40s (49F) in June. Total 0.12 so far...I'll (the garden) be happy with 0.25 total or above.

Consistent reinforcing polar air masses through the GFS extended and the ECM for that matter. High heat haters are going to like this June.
//raises hand//
Finally getting some rain out there. Nothing major, moderate at best but good to see. 54F

Get a beer and some nachos to go along with that and you're all set.
Damn right!
All of next week looks pretty good/nice all things considered.
As far as that blob of rain moving N....I care less if it hits me. I got screwed Fri, Sat...may as well make Sun the hat trick.

That's so funny. Was just thinking of you because it feels like fall out there!
Temp crept up to 64 here but that breeze is still gusty.
I think there's an actual "wind chill factor" out there. May put on the NFL Network and watch a game (replay but who cares) then it will really feel like Fall!
-
Man o man, if I could have the rest of summer like today I'll be one happy polack....64F / DP 53F....overcast and breezy!
-
Looks like Philly may get some action soon. I'll be too far NNW for this batch...
-
I received 4 drops and the radar looks pathetic...(for me)

What storms there are so far are slowly moving from northeast to southwest. Not one of the regular directional tracks we see. At least in southeast PA. May be different in Del and Md.
Yeah, I don't think it's the ideal way for us to cash in. Looks like some stuff ready to hit Philly...84F / DP 71F

^^^Could get interesting as the afternoon goes on - most of the action looks to be just to our south but you can see things starting to pop, both to our west and even north of here (all drifting slowly south at the moment).
Yeah, I noticed that but it's pretty spotty. (no line) I could definitely see 10 miles up the road gets 1" and I get screwed not to mention I'm (Horsham) still under a "boil water advisory".
-
82F / DP 72F
Radar looks pretty sad...a couple clusters but they're heading S.

I'm pretty disappointed not one met in this area have shown this event for what it is... On and off showers with locally heavy rain. This was never going to be a washout like they were predicting...
Every local TV met pretty much shiet the fan on this one. It wasn't till the Thurs 11pm forecast where Cecily start hinting the totals may be reduced. Even yesterday most were saying today (Sat) would be rainy with showers/T-storms much of the day but we'll salvage Sunday. Hell, it's been mostly sunny here since sunrise and radar still doesn't look impressive. May still get some showers and possibly a T-storm later on but certainly not a weekend washout. Imagine all the people who altered/cancelled their plans this weekend because of the forecast most stations were predicting?
-
As of 6am, 73F / DP 68F...sun is breaking out and I don't think I received a drop of rain overnight.
Not sure what model 6abc is using for these totals this morning but I'm skeptical at this point....
-
86F / DP 74F
Still think someone gets whacked w/rain decently well over the next couple days (3"+)...there's too much moisture in the air.

A quick follow up to the post above...
Looks like their summer forecast is a continuation of the May-July period -- temps slightly above average with near normal precip. The big heat looks to stay out west over the Rockies. Above normal precip to our west/southwest (Ohio Valley region), this would lead to below average temps there.
All in all, I could live with this. Not a fan of those summers where the AC runs weeks on end.
Yeah, I can deal with that. Honestly, it feels like winter just ended and here we are in May. The next couple days will get a little warm but a cool down over the weekend extending into next week...

Hey Philly folks - is there anywhere to get archived forecasts (and snowmaps) from the various Philly TV stations for this past storm? Were they predicting 6-8" for Philly? I know the NWS was estimating 4-6" for Philly, so just curious. Thanks.
I posted the snowmaps (screenshots) from the majority of the local TV outlets somewhere in the "Feb 8-9th Storm discussion" thread....I'm pretty sure that was the thread? If not, one of the other threads from this past storm.

Because he was hired as the weekend Met.
Can't they promote him since many people approve unless he has a solid weekday gig? (probably so) Maybe him at 4pm and 5pm and Cecily at 6pm 11pm. Or he just ship to a different station? He seems comfortable in his current role though...who knows?
-
^Agree. He offers good analyst and a snow weenie...often brings up model runs as well.

^^^^ per my previous post, Larry C speaks clearly about upcoming potential as did C Tynan on a live webcast I just viewed....
i also need to say what a nice job channel 6 does with their weather spots in providing some longer range analysis (particularly in comparison to the increased dribble that channel 10 provides with little more than discussing countless temperature ranges, and now rarely shows their 10 day extended)!
I know other weather enthusiasts here and elsewhere agree and I post this with hopes that both outlets will "see" it and continue/adjust there coverage as the case may be!
I watch the 11pm the other night and all Glenn showed was the 3 day forecast? I never know when they'll show the 10 day? Seems to change day-day? It's like they want viewers to keep viewing/guessing when the 10 day will show up? (ratings) Ch6 is so much more professional (maybe that's why they're always #1) I almost had it w/Glenn/NBC 10...

I hate March yuck
A winter fan Dec-Jan-until Valentines day mid Feb then the nuclear sun angle takes over
4 hours ago, Ralph Wiggum said:We are two of a kind.....that is my exact 'winter' time frame as well. Anything after VD is usually wet slop and melts relatively quickly. Not like those mid January storms that accumulate on roads to where Penndot is still salting and pushing piles around still for 3-4 days after the storm.
Make that 3. That's my time period as well. Around the 2nd-3rd of Feb is usually my cut off line then you have to hope for overnight snow. Sure, you "can" get snow during the day after that but it's usually slop which melts on the road as soon as the intensity lets up. You would need perfect conditions for a daytime storm. (temps in the 20's, low dense clouds and snow intensity)
Overall, I've given up and would cash my Winter chips in now for a much below normal (temps) Spring and a below normal Summer. This Winter has been boring torture and not the least bit fun.

Pretty sure squires flying horizontally...

So far, so good. In the 50s again at 1:42am. Sitting outside and limited bugs...allergies subsided as well. Can't ask for much more! Long range doesn't look too bad with a couple hot days "here and there". And shortly the longest day occurs then days shorten which means Fall is coming!
