    You will need an ark soon! .

    We bitched enough that mother nature gave in! Nice shower. Possibly more on the way. .

    It has been frustrating lately. I think it’s a combo of that stable easterly flow off the cold Atlantic ruining our precip dynamics on days like today and bad luck where the lines setup when the flow turns around to the southwest. .

    The Philly region has been doing much better than the Lehigh Valley with rain. I only got 0.18 this am, and the airport, a bit further north, only got a few hundredths of an inch. The northern LV in general has seen very little rain, even earlier in the week.

    43 F and a cold rain from this line of showers. Less than 1/10 of an inch of rain but it still feels like bonus rain. .

    It’s amazing how the lawns greened up and the trees budded overnight. .

    I am a few miles south of you and I am at 1.12” as this winds down, maybe with luck i hit 1.20”. During the worst of it the first line slightly split around me, which was my limiting factor. The airport is at 1.5” and likely hits 1.75” in the next update. If I had to guess I would say Emmaus to Coopersburg got close to 2”. Overall I am happy. Not a drought buster but we did well. .

    True! Closest lighting strikes in a few years as well. And an actual round 2 forming. .

    Nice tstorm here with heavy rain sw lehigh county. 0.29” has come down in buckets in a short time with a lot more to come. .

    It is rather interesting to see it unfold. I I now have hope. Probably helped big time that we had some late afternoon sun to help destabilize things. .

    Shockingly sparse radar display at this point of the day based on the forecast. The forecasts from late last week for Sunday through current have been highly inaccurate . The marine influence of the cold easterly flow yesterday is never picked up my forecasts this time of the year. Today seems to lack a destabilizing factor to get the forecasted action going. Hopefully the action to the sw in VA makes it here.

    Well, this was a big swing and a mess with this rain event today. 0.06” for me. .

    Closing in on 1/3” up here in Lehigh County and with some luck we may get close to 0.4. Hoped for 1/2” but happy with something rather than nothing. Looks like another 1/4-1/2” on Monday. These things do add up if the consistency keeps going, but it would be nice to see a 1”-2” at some point. .
  14. LVLion77
    0.68” total here in sw lehigh county. It’s certainly better than nothing, but definitely a bit disappointing. We definitely needed a lot more than that. Hopefully we can add at least 1/4” or so and do well next Monday. .

    I have been a weather weenie for decades, and I feel the forecast accuracy has decreased. The weather patterns over the last several years are producing a lot less 1/4” - 3/4” steady rainfalls, which are now just becoming cloudy days like today. The models need to evolve to catch up with the evolving patterns of more extreme dry and wet pattens in which you’re relying on less events to get the same amount of rainfall. I also find it interesting that warm fronts produce a lot less rainfall than they did in our past. Hopefully we can catch a break tonight and get some real precipitation from the approaching line after the bust during the day. The waterways are really low for March.

    The nowcast is trending negative for getting much rain in eastern PA. Hope we see some development. We desperately need a solid 1”-2” rainfall.
  17. LVLion77
    Had a period of very heavy sleet and now back to a mix of moderate freezing rain with some pingers - 27.8 F. .
  18. LVLion77
    28.9 Sleet and Freezing rain here in sw Lehigh County. No flakes at all. Started all sleet, then went nearly all freezing rain, now more sleet. Nowcasting looks like a pretty good mixed event. .

    Dreaded dry slot! Hope it fills in. .
  20. LVLion77
    Temp 31.4 with light snow in SW Lehigh County. .

    It’s just light rain with very little left on radar and I am at 1.54”. As the drought guy indicated, the ground absorbed this like a sponge with mostly light to moderate rain much the time, which is great. Hoping to get topped off early next week. And then hoping for a white Christmas and cold 12/21 for PSU vs SMU college playoff game in State College.
  22. LVLion77
    Moderate rain, 1.34” for the event (sw Lehigh County.) Perhaps 1-2 hours of rain remaining. I was hoping for 2” but this is still decent and helps the cause! .
  23. LVLion77
    Noce to get some more rain. 0.47” this far here in the LV.
  24. LVLion77
    It is a great day to be a weather nerd. The structure of the low is super neat, and it is interesting to see it warmer in parts of Florida versus parts of Maine this morning.
  25. LVLion77
    34.5 with light snow here in the LV. Only 1.03” of rain for the event, so slightly bummed about that. Hopefully we get a decent liquid equivalent of melted snow today. .
