  1. Models starting to come into agreement, one by one, on a major coastal storm Sunday into Monday. The Canadian is the only one that doesn’t have it. Looks like a widespread 1-3” of rain with tropical storm force gusts if it indeed plays out like the models are saying.
  2. Aurora is out tonight…too bad it’s freaking cloudy. Ugh.
  3. These dry periods are aligning nicely with my job as a college tennis ref. It always sucks to move a match or tournament indoors since that often means much longer days. I do really hope we get some good rain in the coming weeks though. We just really need a 3-4 day period of steady light rain. Feels like we haven’t had that in forever.
  4. The 0z Canadian gets Imelda close enough to Humberto that they end up merging and becoming one storm. If that happens, assuming the storm is still tropical, how do they decide which name the storm retains?
  5. Line of garden variety storms passed through earlier. Some gusty winds and a few lightning bolts. Might be the last widespread storms of the year?
  6. Hmmm, a bit of sunshine starting to break out here with the line of storms still west of Harrisburg. Hopefully this can destabilize the atmosphere enough for something good.
  7. Not feeling too optimistic about the severe threat today. There are hardly any breaks in the clouds on visible satellite. Some storms still seem likely but I’d be surprised if we saw a lot of wind/tornado reports.
  8. Take a look at what happens on the 0z models in the western Atlantic. Two hurricanes form simultaneously and get very close to each other. It looks like high pressure will prevent the western one from moving up the coast but still, this could be a very rare situation to observe starting this weekend.
  9. Drove to and from Scranton today. Fall colors are really starting to appear in the Poconos. Just a week or two till that trickles down to the Lehigh Valley and Philly area.
  10. 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.
  11. Makes sense. I just thought it was weird that the sky looked smoky but the air quality was good.
  12. What’s up with the thick haze today? It doesn’t look like any Canadian wildfire smoke is nearby.
  13. 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.
  14. Round 2 of storms starting now. Glad we’re getting a nice deluge today after the last 2 weeks have been bone dry.
  15. 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.
  16. Big CME on the way. Hearing a G3 solar storm is likely and G4 is possible. Any possible aurora would be Monday night.
  17. 12z GFS has us locked in this pattern for the entirety of the 16 day run.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. It’s chilly and dreary enough today that I’m breaking out the hoodie. Pretty crazy for mid August.
  22. Feels like fall outside today. I could get used to this…and we will be getting used to it in the next 2 weeks.
  23. 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.
  24. Tons of close CGs with this storm. Not severe otherwise but it’s bringing quite the downpour.
  25. 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.
