    Just as I say that some new stuff pops up to the west. Lots of rolling thunder. Probably won’t turn severe in time but at least we’ll get more rain.

    Textbook Allentown split going on right now. Nice looking storms to the north and south and the best we can hope for is a dying convective shower. Really would have been nice to get some more rain.

    Sun is out in Allentown. Lots of juice for these storms.

    Severe thunderstorm watch for most of us till 7 pm.

    Just got upgraded to an enhanced risk. Today will be interesting.

    The hope is that these storms tonight lay an outflow boundary across the region so storms tomorrow can latch onto it and really go crazy. If it happens I think it’s around I-95 or the turnpike.

    Getting round 2 right now. Some decent lightning with this one.

    Line weakened right before it got here. Lots of rain but virtually no wind. I’m okay with it - we don’t need another round of power outages. Let the utility workers rest a little.

    About to get hit directly by that little bowing segment of the line. Will this be a repeat of Thursday?

    Finally getting some decent rain in the Lehigh Valley today. Gonna need a bit more of this if the grass is going to turn green again.

    Really fun storm in Bethlehem. Small branches down everywhere from 40-50 mph gusts, and we even got some dime sized hail.
  12. LVblizzard
    Day 3 slight risk for much of PA. Looks like Wednesday could get a bit interesting.
  13. LVblizzard
    Why are there so many snow reports on mPING around the area today? Did Gettysburg baseball sized hail guy get some friends?

    Got some thundershowers rolling through the Lehigh Valley this evening. The cooler temperatures feel amazing.

    The problem with KDOX is while it covers Philly well enough, it’s a little far from the Lehigh Valley. Same with BGM and CCX. DIX is the only radar that’s close enough to my place in Allentown. Of course it would really help if we filled the I-81 radar gap too.

    KDIX radar went down this morning. Always seems to happen when we have a chance of precip. Never during extended dry periods.

    I remember that heat wave. I hope I never have to feel heat like that again. The temperature - not heat index, but actual air temperature - got to 104 or 105 at its hottest. And I was living without AC at the time in a bedroom that faced west. Not fun at all.

    Not bad at all today. High around 90 with dews in the mid-upper 60s. It’s actually pretty comfortable in the shade. Tomorrow and Saturday, and possibly Sunday too, look like some pretty brutal days before we get some relief on Monday.

    This week is hot but not unbearably hot like it is in some parts of New England. We see this type of heat for at least a week or two every year. In New England, though, they’re smashing all time record highs.
  20. LVblizzard
    Models have been trending away from the week of extreme heat around here and giving New England the brutally hot temps instead. It’ll still be hot but nothing really crazy. And the humidity looks to be only mildly uncomfortable rather than oppressive.

    Not much to write home about in Allentown. Just some sprinkles while lightning flashed in the distance to the north.
  22. LVblizzard
    Sun is finally out here. Time to see if we can destabilize enough for a decent storm later.
  23. LVblizzard
    Too many clouds here in the Lehigh Valley. It needs to clear in a hurry or else the evening action could be very underwhelming.
  24. LVblizzard
    I trust the CAMs (HRRR, 3km NAM) way more to handle storms.
  25. LVblizzard
    Slept through the storms somehow. Worst of it missed to my north by about 2-3 miles. Looks like much of the northwest side of Allentown is without power. Lots of photos on social media of trees down, some of them big ones.
