Chief83 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 For those of you with Direct TV - the Accuweather Network is now on air 24 hours a day. This change took place today Aug 1st. (I'm a little partial as my son, is one of their on air meteorologists.) They have made some significant changes with much more live coverage and several new severe weather reporters running all over the country to cover big weather events. He is from Montgomery County, Pa and loves severe and winter weather reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it leads up to downspouts, lol. I made this decision partly out of being beat, and partly due to the radar/models, seems as though most of the precip should be to our west overnite. So this a test - Murphy's law says it should rain, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 i'm sorry but the NWS forecasts beyond day 1 have been horrendous the last 2 weeks for my area. I understand it hasn't been easy due to the convective nature but for legit the 4th time in the last two weeks I have gone from 60-70% pops literally the day before and forecasted 60-70% for multiple days before hand go down to 20-30% when the day comes. Absolutely useless for planning purposes. Here's a note guys, in these situations call for 20-30% pops for days and then increase as necessary... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wall 'o rain became a sprinkle here although it looks like some more may be incoming. I really need to pull out the hose though. It got up to 88 before the pop-up sprinkle and is currently 85 and mostly cloudy, with peaks of sun and big fluffy cumulus and cumulo-stratus clouds.

Voyager Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It's certainly been a case of the haves vs the have nots the past couple of weeks. Some areas just keep getting slammed while others get barely anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont ever bother with other sources because you guys are the best around here. Just venting my frustration is all, like I said above I know it hasn't been an easy forecast because of the covective nature, it's just been a b*tch trying to plan for the weather lately because of the variability day to day.

JTA66 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Seems central Montco has been the Goldilocks zone -- no flooding rains, but a steady stream of showers/occasional downpour everyday to keep things wet out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
