Yep, training to my west this morning...

Watching the animated radar on my GRLevel3, that southernmost blob has been slowly pivoting and is moving from SW --> NE. Since about 5 am, it has moved from Lancaster County into western Chester County.  We may be getting slammed with it later this morning if it holds together and keeps moving without stalling.

As a sidenote, I ended up getting 0.11" of rain total yesterday, a couple hundredths more since my last precip post yesterday. Current temp is 74 and it's overcast.

To a weather geek like me, that is a disheartening image. It's almost a carbon copy of July's firehose. the same areas keep getting it over and over again. Me? I end up on the fringe. Just enough rain to make it miserable, but not enough to make it interesting...

sheesh it continues to dump - now up to 2.50" of rain this morning.....more on the way!

I know what you word you WANTED to say but obviously can't on this forum. :lol:

There were reports of well over 3.5" of rain in Lancaster County this morning so it is definitely concerning - especially for the flashier creeks around this area.

  already fallen just west of Philadelphia. These thunderstorms will
  continue to drift northward toward area that were previously hard

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.

With the 3.89" so far today here in East Nantmeal - Chester County this is already the 7th greatest daily rainfall since 1984 - the record is the 7.85" with Hurricane Floyd back on September 16, 1999. Rainfall for the month is up to 8.42" over the 1st 13 days of August with 18.44" falling here since June 27th. YTD rainfall stands at 48.59" we are within 2" of our normal annual rainfall...with 4 1/2 months to go in the year!

I haven't posted here much summer cause nothing has warranted me to. However, the flooding today in and around Berks County is incredible. Ponds and streams everywhere overflowing their banks and now making new streams and ponds. In other news, Joe Bastardi is calling for an epic winter. Already getting his unbearable and unneeded hype up for the winter season.

I posted JBs outlook...nothing that epic a few degrees below normal and 33% more snow.....not hype worthy IMHO

You are getting what those other places just got.  Pretty nasty.  Garden State Parkway is flooded around there.  Hope you don't wash away!

Meanwhile I'm up to 1.30" and still rising. That comes out to 3.05" over the past 3 days.

Yeah that's what how I felt. Desert or Noah's flood lol.

 

Yeah really. I've been following your posts because we both seemed to be missing out on the best rains. Today we both kind of made up for it. Mine wasn't as epic as yours, but still not as bad as previous days/weeks.
