0.35 in first batch sw Lehigh County. I am sure we will do better later today. .
-
Glad I got into the heavy action last night. I would be upset with the current radar otherwise! .
-
0.98 for that cell and 1.04 for the day. Best individual event for me in a very long time. .
-
I am finally getting hit as well. I am in heaven! Already a third of an inch and still pouring. This line was a much better angle coming from the west-northwest. .

Over the past 10 days it looks as if the south mountain range that ends in Easton/Bethlehem and starts in Reading area is splitting these storms deflecting storms to the north towards the blue mountain and south toward northern philly burbs. It makes no sense as the topographic feature is equivalent to a hill in many parts of the country, but it certainly looks like it on radar. .

Like last weekend’s misses in my sw corner of lehigh county, missed this storm completely! Statistically this becoming improbable. .
-
I am at 0.98 since Thursday with a total of 3.06 for the month, I think I have a microclimate of sinking air this year in sw lehigh county. Since Thursday i have been brushed and dodged by heavy precip. Got some good lightning though. Most years I get the best of the best, and this year has been swings and misses! .

I am at 0.93 since Thursday. Sandwiched between two lines yesterday. Take Rt 100 from Macungie to just north of Pottstown and all got screwed while those to the west and especially east by only a few miles did great. Hopefully nature balances out today and I get popped. .
-
We seem to be getting screwed in our sw corner of the lv. I am at 0.58 since Thursday. For many summers we were in the jackpot, but not this summer! And for those that doubt a very localized drought like pattern, 2.97” since May 1 on my gauge. .
-
You would see more action at this time of the day. I am thinking that quadrant from southern Lehigh Valley through Philly is pretty quiet the rest of the day. Hope I am wrong! .
-
At this point this afternoon is a huge disappointment for most in SE PA. .
-
That little shower in southern Lehigh County this morning doubled my event total since Thursday from 0.20 to 0.40. Progress! .
-
Unfortunately, a large chunk of the Lehigh Valley again missed any substantial storm or rain! We are in a worsening drought. .
-
0.20 in my gauge for the week. .
-
Another bust today in my area (close to you.) A t-storm hit the northeast part of the LV but just minimal showers elsewhere. .
-
A major forecast bust thus far in the Lehigh Valley - 0.14 thus far today on my gauge. .

E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2023 OBS Thread
LVLion77 replied to Hurricane Agnes's topic in Philadelphia Region
Last band of showers at 10p gave a quick 0.10 on my station in southwest Lehigh Valley area. I am in another small band again, perhaps I get to a bonus 1/4 inch for the day. . -
E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2022 OBS Thread
LVLion77 replied to Hurricane Agnes's topic in Philadelphia Region
I imagined the same thing. A month or two earlier would have been one hell of a blizzard with a nice front end thump yesterday and the real storm today. Definitely a strangely powerful coastal for this time of the year. I honestly do not recall many of these setups for May. In any case this storm helps establish soil moisture to start the growing season. . -
I wonder if truly US 222 and I 78 ends up being the boundary rather than I 95. It is going to be close. Allentown is merely sitting at a 1/2” at this point.

This is why I questioned earlier if the forecasts for several inches actually verify. I think the cutoff will be sharp. You can already see that nowcasting.

Does anyone see the eastern PA several inch rainfall forecasts materializing today? There is a decent batch of moisture but not looking that dire at this point.

There is nothing wrong with that statement as it is the truth.

Starting to think Poconos will be prolific as well. It will be interesting to see how far south the precip shield gets tonight. Looks like it has made it just south of i78 and i81.

I 78 is a brick wall holding back the bulk of that precip shield. .
