JamieOber Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Every day this month has had an above normal low. The "coolest" we have been was 62 last Friday, +1. Every other night has been 65 or higher. Seven - including today now - have had a min of 70+. Probably will make it eight overnight/tomorrow AM. humidity ftl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I was soaked by 830. I was pitching BP before our first game with Baltimore this moring. We won 27-0 Too bad you missed an extra point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Congrats to everyone getting rain this summer. I've only received 0.48" in the last 25 days and the grass is really showing it. It's been a battle keeping the golf course green with many early mornings and late evenings. Crossing my fingers that tomorrow rain pans out.

Voyager Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I hate the apps, downslope FTL I think that's our problem in Tamaqua. Many times, incoming lines of storms crash and burn near I-81 west of me, only to reform again a few miles east/southeast of me in the Lehighton/Palmerton area.

canderson Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Glad you cashed in on the rain. See what I did there? Our power was out around 5 hours last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 More storms rolling through along the M/D line, but downslope seems to be killing them as well Might have to get out the sprinkler to water the lawn, I'm starting to see brown spots.

MAG5035 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Any reports from the northern side of State College (especially the Houserville area and just west of there)? That one storm has been sitting over the same area for awhile. Doppler estimates up over 1.5" with it. Might have to watch for a flood warning.

kerplunk Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I measured 2.88 inches from that storm. Have never seen it rain that hard for that long in the 15 years I've lived in Toftrees. A car needed to be towed from in front of the Ale House due to being flooded out and, of course, Fox Hollow was closed - something which is becoming a regular occurrence in spite of minor remedial efforts.

sauss06 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 With the Mid-Atlantic softball regionals this weekend I was to busy to post. Friday when that storm rolled in, I was in Lancaster County at a wedding, however we had Marble Size hail in Summerdale, with a variety of trees down at numerous locations, basically the same as what dj and Canderson reported. Our FD was one of the companies at the tank fire in Hampden Township. We are on the Cumberland County Foam Task Force and one of the largest suppliers of foam and foam appliances in the region.

canderson Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Not sure how much it has rained in the past 4-5 hours, but it is measured in whole inches, not tenths of inches. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 And whatever is sitting over Mount Gretna hasn't moved in an hour and means serious business. Might be a 3-4" mark there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, 3.5-4" on some of the PWS's out there. Starting to get on the edge of major problems with that kinda rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmasterB Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 3 miles from Gretna, and I can confirm...it has rained. A LOT! Pretty much a solid downpour since ~5:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
