Voyager Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just finished off a good rain storm. Not much wind and no thunder, but touched 6" per hour rates. Got 0.86" out of it in a very brief time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any given area in the S Central and S/E PA area is going to have to get lucky to have any substantial rain in the next 10 days. GFS likes tomorrow afternoon but could not find any other support. Westerly winds gusting to 30 here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Flooding in West central pa. If that complex of storms makes it to us in 2 to 3 hours that will be a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there are storms north and northeast where expected. My post was to say that our friends down south were expecting nothing and some of the DC burbs got raked as well. Still looks like you might get some rain later if that stuff near Altoona pays a visit to Rouzerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precip in west central PA fizzled out last evening before reaching even the western LSV. It sounds like we have another chance of a shower or storm by early this afternoon.

I live beside a farmer and he said this is the worst start to the season for him in 40 some years (mostly corn). Unfortunately these random afternoon 1" downpours do not help him as much as an all day soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grass is still green and growing just as fast as the weeds. Hopefully areas that are drier than me can get some rain today before we dry out completely.

Kitchener poster Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Parts of the interior NE and Southern ON may not get a drop of rain for the next 10 days. Scorched earth, water bans, and fire restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Had some light rain in Harrisburg- the heavy stuff split the city but I’ll take a light shower that doesn’t cause puddles in this pattern we are moving into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paweather5 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yeah can’t buy a drop of rain, could see it raining by ski Roundtop and not even a drop at my house. Starting to get frustrating. Not much rain look forward to either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a really nice shower here with nearly .25" in the bucket. 5 of the last 7 days has produced measurable rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Had what looked like a nice cell taking direct aim at us from the Bloomsburg area only to hit I-81 and nearly disintigrate. It reformed southeast of town and looks to soak West Penn Township and the Blue Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Looking back I’ve had 1.90” of rain since May 10th. 1.17” officially for June unless I add something the next couple days. I can’t recall the yard this burned out so early in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have unofficially had about 2.5" since early May but the overly dry (but nice for getting out) weather has made that not nearly enough. The farmer I mentioned said his corn is about 1 foot short from where it should be. He is convinced we will need a dying 'Cane to save his crop. I think he can make it if we manage to get some summer type rains every few days but next two weeks look bad. Must be a stressful life...farming with no irrigation.

What really surprises me is that both of you (especially Cashtown) live in a more favored area for storms than what I do. I've been extremely lucky and you've been extremely unlucky I guess...

Unofficial again as my equipment is amateurish, which is why I frequently use a neighboring weather station to report, but we are about 6" behind for May and June. Average (whatever that means anymore) for May and June is about 9"or so and we have not broken 3" total for the last 7 weeks. Just bad timing at the start of growing season. MDT was in the same boat entering June but has had a good 5" of rain this month so far. I realize most of the LSV is not facing the same predicament.
