I suspect, but I can’t stay with certainty that the forecasting accuracy has gotten far worse for a place like the Lehigh Valley. I could be talking out of my rear, but I just wonder if overreliance on computer modeling eliminates the way that local human meteorologist would take into account other factors, such as local elevations, microclimates, stable airflows, etc.

Definitely did not verify for the Lehigh Valley.

0.71” here in sw Lehigh County. Looks like the Lehigh Valley this far is on the lower end regionally while Philly, northern Poconos and Reading all got significantly more. There are a few spots in the poconos that may have gotten several inches per radar estimates.

Well, the afternoon forecast bombed here. Nothing to speak of in the southeastern quadrant of the state.

If it was an nfl Sunday with the eagles playing, the power would already be restored.

I welcome a flooding rainfall event. Maybe not 5” but would like to see 3” this week.We need it in so many ways.

Not as crazy as last night but a bit more rain at a little over 1/2”.

Pretty amazing storm earlier this evening up here in terms of wind. It’s shocking that it lowered the temperatures down to the lower 70s.

I received less than a 10th of an inch. If you look at the precip accumulation map, there is a narrow strip of very little rain along south mountain from Easton all the way to Fleetwood in Berks County.

Unbelievable to be getting 7-10 split again here in the southern Lehigh Valley.

I watered the garden on Sunday just in case we get another 7-10 split!

It was highly detrimental to not get anything from today. My conversation was with a government friend who is a friend of somebody in the authority. They’re very worried.

Word on the street is that the local water Authority is privately very worried about the groundwater situation. Drought guy may want to look into it (seriously.)

Looking at the precip map, the Philly region south of Lansdale down to Wilmington DE did exceptionally well. The southern Poconos also did very well too. The Lehigh Valley and the far northern bucks and Montgomery counties did poorly.

I was not so lucky - 0.24”. More to the north and south of us. Needed 2.24”! .
