64 this morning. that flooding near Reading yesterday looked insane!

I'm afraid my potatoes will rot in the ground with all this rain.

Just short of 8.50 inches of rain since June 1st..

Just seen the warning go out I border Northumberland county

Picked up a quick. 39 in of rain from a severe warnd storm. Must have hailed close by, temp dropped 8 degrees. It got really cool air after the storm.

I thought by now we would have a good consensus on the model runs, as it is only a few hours away. I hope everyone gets some beneficial rain and no gully washers.

I hope the heavy stuff is east of us today.

Not much going on here this morning. Hear thunder to my north and northwest.

And some of us are in a slight risk for severe weather tomorrow too.

Yes I'm afraid we are long over due for a tropical event. Lee comes to mind that was 2011 right after Labor day. And we were in a drought then too befor it happened. I remember what happened a few days pror to Lee.

There are some that are unfortunate. They have not received this amount of rain. My garden is just a little to wet now. But some of us were blessed with these beneficial rains. I just hope we're not setting up for some kind of tropical hit later in the season with continued frequent rains until then. That's my worry. But mother nature will do what it wants to do. We have been through this before.

Mowed on Thursday, it doesn't even look like I mowed this morning. This grass (and the weeds) are growing at an unprecedented rate. I guess that's what over 7 inches of rain in a month along with the high dewpoints recently will do.

.69 wind driven rain last evening.

I'd be concerned at this point.

Enjoy!

Seen more pics from Union county of the tornado damage. There is quite a lot of costly damage in that county. More damage then what I expected. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000412632942

The initial tornado touched down just south of Millmont God`s Missionary Church and tracked ENE causing damage to a well-constructed chicken coop along with uplifting a majority of a barn`s roof and spreading it throughout a nearby field. Several large tree branches were broken off. Then the tornado shifted to a more northeasterly track across Route 45. The tornado tracked just west of a residence along Pleasant Grove Road, where many large limbs were observed to be down with a healthy cherry tree snapped before continuing to move northeast. Trees along the intersection of Kaiser Run Road and Windy Valley Lane were uprooted and snapped with a small outer building having damage lofted into a nearby field. The tornado dissipated slightly north of Kaiser Run Rd around 3:56 PM local time. We would like to thank Union County Emergency Management, along with local residents, for their help with this survey.

Some of the damage is only about 2 miles as the crow flies from me.

The National Weather Service Office in State College, PA conducted a storm survey of the area to investigate the damage. Trees were downed by the tornado, blocking the roadway at 3462 PA 147. The tornado damage was intermittent as it traveled east for about 1 mile, downing more trees as it crossed over Shippen Dam Rd. The survey also found a larger area of more sporadic, non-tornadic wind damage to the north of the tornado track, which extended nearly 20 miles from Seven Stars in Juniata County to Gratz in Dauphin County. This damage mostly consisted of downed trees and tree limbs, as well as downed powerlines on Specktown Road in Lykens Twp, Dauphin County. It was determined that this larger area of sporadic damage was associated with the forward flank downdraft of the same storm, which is an area of straight line winds within a supercell. We would like to thank Perry County and Dauphin County for their assistance with this survey.

does it now?

It is wet at my place from all the rain from the last month 6.55 in of rain. Every time it rains now the water sits in the garden and a few winter springs are open again.

But the question is are you still in contention for the coveted trophy at the end of the season?
