RedSky Posted Saturday at 06:20 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:20 AM 1.30" 11.90" for May! Heard local farms have lost their corn plantings for the first time they can remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted Saturday at 12:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:00 PM 2.25 inches of rain at my house - Spring Creek is at flood stage and rising quickly. Been a long time since we have reached flood stage. Yes I will declare this drought over guys at this time. These long duration rains are now bringing up the base flows of the streams. Corn is coming up nicely in my area of Lehigh County. If the farmer is trying to plant it now, it could be a loss. The loss however is not just the rain but with the extreme cooler temps. Usually by now, we have temps in the mid to upper 80's with a few days of 90's. In fact, we maybe back in the 40's for overnight lows and highs only in the upper 60's for June 1 ------ Coolest I have seen for us in June but it does save on the AC bills. But after Wednesday, we go back into the oven. Watch the mold counts grow big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted Saturday at 12:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:07 PM Mike Gorse, fwiw,--the current point forecast for Ancient Oaks in Lehigh County does not display the current flood warning- strangeIt maybe because Its for Perkiomen stream only and not the Little lehigh. I guess Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVLion77 Posted Saturday at 12:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:21 PM 1.73” for the event and 8.33” for the month, not as insane as a number of you for the monthly total, but still insane! Mid 50s with wrap around rain this morning on the backside of the low is just odd. This is the strangest May I can ever remember. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so dry during the fall and winter with a huge deficit that the ground has been absorbing all of this rain during the spring without any creek flooding until today as you said. It’s been like a sponge. Happy the groundwater is certainly recharged now heading into the summer. I’m happy for the farmers in the Valley as well. Thankfully, it’s going to be in the 80s next week and sunny for a few days next week.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted Saturday at 12:31 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:31 PM Ended up with 1.14" of rain. Makes it 6.97" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM It looks like rainfall across the area ranged from as little as 0.48" at Atglen to as much as 1.51" at Devault. One more round of showers may cross the area late this afternoon and early evening with a strong cold front. We finally clear up tomorrow and begin a stretch of our best weather so far this spring. Most spots except the higher ridges should reach 80 degrees by Tuesday with low to mid 80's for all by Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted Saturday at 02:45 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:45 PM Big CME headed towards Earth with a possible G4 solar storm. If this were to put on an aurora show it would be tomorrow night when skies are clear. Fingers crossed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted Saturday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:26 PM Had 0,25" of rain yesterday and woke up to 0.73" this morning. There were a couple more rounds and pop-ups since with one adding 0.14" for 0.87" and the latest round giving me another quarter inch and I stand at 1.12" for the day so far (2-day 1.37"). Am up to 8.13" for the month so far. Got up to 74 for a high after bottoming out at 55 this morning and almost hit that again after that last rain pass! 9 minutes ago, MGorse said: After two showers this afternoon, the second one was heavy and gusty, picked up 0.48 inches.

That temp drop was pretty dramatic, I currently recovered to 59 with dp 56 and it's mostly cloudy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
