I had 1.34” from the storms last night. I feel like we’ve been dry for a few summers in August and September, but not this year. .

Getting “clipped” by this in Macungie and it is pretty intense rain and wind, no hail imby. Lots of thunder but it strikes are further away. Already have 0.48” in very short period of time. .

Best time of the year! I love Sept and Oct… warm days, cool nights. An occasional tropical storm is nice too with nor’easters to follow.

0.94 here in my backyard in the LV and just missed the heavier stuff. It looks like the regional winners were northern Philly burbs, northeastern Lehigh Valley, most of Delaware, and the jackpot of inland South Jersey. Outside of our area it looks like central PA got walloped with rain, State College, Altoona, that area.

1.15 here since yesterday evening.

Heavy rain this evening up here near Macungie. Already crossed 1/2”.

And I just got another pop-up type storm adding on more beneficial rains .

That training makes it all the way to central Jersey. Impressive. .

Just crossed 2“ for the day up here in sw Lehigh County.

I had 0.90 in my backyard from the two cells today. I was not in the absolute jackpot for the region, but definitely did better than most.

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.
