66 here.

.54 rain overnight.

NWS says some 3+ amounts are possible SPC currently places the southwest half of PA in a MRGL risk of severe weather this evening. However, the bigger threat may be locally excessive rain across southeast PA. An anomalous southerly low level jet linked to a mid level shortwave lifting across the Eastern Grt Lks is progged to advect pwats of around 2 inches into southern PA this evening, overrunning the advancing warm front and setting the stage for thunderstorms with torrential downpours and the potential of locally heavy rainfall. Large scale forcing ahead of the mid level shortwave, combined with anomalous pwats, supports widespread POPs in the 80-100pct range this evening. However, the threat of locally excessive rainfall appears focused over the southeast counties, where the 00Z HREF suggests localized amounts of 3+ inches are possible between 00Z-08Z.

I don't know if it means anything, but this morning and still continuing this afternoon. There are a lot of ants moving their eggs out of a flowerbed that sits in a lower location to a new location that is about 5ft. Higher about 70ft. away from the original location. So I Googled this. It says they could be moving to avoid heavy rain. I never noticed this before. So I checked my NWS forecast. It says by Tuesday eve I could see 3in. Of rain by then. So maybe the ants are expecting more than that. I guess we'll see what happens till then.

Where I'm at I'm in pretty good shape. But the creek is starting to get low again (but not as low as its been) but thats typical for the summer season

My NWS forecast has not budged for Sunday. They're pretty steadfast.

It's the element of surprise

Yes, maybe a complete flip, just like winter storms. There always last to get on board, when snow comes from the south.

NWS tends to disagree,

Picked up .10 from a thunderstorm.

Things have definitely turned dryer this week. Wonder if severe storms will materialize later today.

66 was the low here.

My neighbor said to me some 40 years ago and I remember to this day. When we were talking about weather extremes ie: heat, cold, droughts, floods. That mother nature always makes up for its self, I still believe that to this day.

52 this morning.

Set up sprinklers in your yard.

Looks like a drier week coming up. Maybe the driest in several weeks...a month. Wonder if were headed back to more dryness?

The State College radar will undergo an outage for scheduled maintenance as part of the Service Life Extension Program today through August 14th. While KCCX is down, continue to be weather aware by monitoring nearby radars. This map will show the closest radar for you! #PAwx

59 this morning.

That gets very expensive to do That.

Thats a huge contrast in a relatively short distance.

.34 rain overnight for this month so far 9.22

The storms made it and didn't die

I see lightning from the storm s across the river. Let's see if they make it to the river, or will thy fall apart again.

I was out spraying weeds for about 2 hours.i was totally soaked in sweat. Had more to do but gave it up for the day.

How much rain fell?
