  1. Models are hinting at a possible inverted trough around Sun-Mon. Would be nice to get a little bit of rain in the midst of this dry period.
  2. Makes sense. I just thought it was weird that the sky looked smoky but the air quality was good.
  3. What’s up with the thick haze today? It doesn’t look like any Canadian wildfire smoke is nearby.
  4. This downpour is much heavier than the earlier one. Decent amount of close CGs too. Radar estimates a little over 1.5” so far…will probably end up with close to 2” on the day when it’s all said and done.
  5. Round 2 of storms starting now. Glad we’re getting a nice deluge today after the last 2 weeks have been bone dry.
  6. Not a particularly strong storm in Allentown right now but it’s been pouring for the last half hour. Looks like we still have a little while to go too. Really nice to see this rain as we’ve been pretty dry lately. Hopefully it delays or denies us another drought.
  7. Big CME on the way. Hearing a G3 solar storm is likely and G4 is possible. Any possible aurora would be Monday night.
  8. 12z GFS has us locked in this pattern for the entirety of the 16 day run.
  9. Dew point of 46 is crazy for August. I’m not sure we’ve ever had an extended pattern this chilly and dry during meteorological summer.
  10. This weather is nice but the weenie in me wants more chances for storms. Or at least a good soaking rainstorm. I like a few days of beautiful weather like this but it gets boring when it goes on for too long.
  11. Models show this cool and dry pattern locked in for weeks. We could be done with 90s for the rest of the year as long as that high pressure continues to dominate our weather pattern.
  12. It’s chilly and dreary enough today that I’m breaking out the hoodie. Pretty crazy for mid August.
  13. Feels like fall outside today. I could get used to this…and we will be getting used to it in the next 2 weeks.
  14. Drought guy could make a return pretty soon. Looks like after today, high pressure will dominate our pattern for the next 2 weeks with not many chances of rain. Dews in the 40s and 50s next week should be nice though.
  15. Tons of close CGs with this storm. Not severe otherwise but it’s bringing quite the downpour.
  16. The Perseid meteor shower is out tonight and there are great viewing conditions for it! I went out into my backyard and saw 3 in 10 minutes. It’s probably even better in more rural areas with darker skies.
  17. Mother nature is making up for all those years of storms messing up Musikfest. It’s very possible that the entire 10-day festival will be rain-free this year, aside from “preview night” this past Thursday.
  18. The cold front has arrived in Allentown. 69/63F with a nice north breeze. Feels amazing!
  19. Looks like a legit supercell over Reading right now. It has that shape on reflectivity and there’s some decent rotation with it.
  20. Feeling lucky here with temps staying in the low-mid 80s in Allentown. Looks like the cutoff between heat and humidity and more comfortable weather is just south of the Lehigh/Northampton and Bucks/Montgomery lines. The storms should drop it down to the 70s which is hopefully where they’ll stay.
  21. Bunch of storms popping up across central and eastern PA. A few hours earlier than modeled. Hopefully this keeps temperatures down today.
  22. Tomorrow night but yes. The mesos generally agree that there will be a 3-6" bullseye somewhere between Philly and NYC with everyone else getting 1-2".
  23. If you believe the 12z NAM and a few other hi-res models, some places may not get out of the 60s on Friday. It just makes today’s heat and humidity feel so much worse knowing a long stretch of comfortable weather is right around the corner.
  24. That humidity was just brutal yesterday. Looks like KABE got to a peak dew point of 77 which is fairly rare for this area. Good thing it wasn’t terribly hot or else it would have been completely miserable out there. Really looking forward to the arrival of the cold front on Thursday night…hopefully we get a good day or two of storms before that.
  25. Little MCS approaching the region. Looks like heavy rain with some embedded thunder. While we’re not in a drought, I’ll take whatever rain we can get because the pattern looks to turn pretty dry for at least a week starting on Thursday.
