Horrible, horrible situation in Texas.

I just came here to post about it. Horrific.

Scenes from Texas are horrific. My wife is friends (well acquaintances) with one whose child is missing. 
 

If you look at radar loops it never moved for 8 hours. 10” rain in an hour.

That’s crazy

You’re saying it averaged 10” of rain for those 8 hours? 80 inches?

Oh sorry no I mean it moved so slow that was the rate. Lake Travis went up 10’ in 2 hours this am.

Two gorgeous days in a row. Humidity ain’t as bad as the weather media was acting like.

I am hearing the death toll might be north of 200 in Texas. 

The river rose 30 feet in less than an hour - rising 1” every six seconds for a period of time.

68 degrees with a high of 91 degrees today.

Prayers for everyone in Texas.

After the last 2 days with below normal temperatures we will see increasingly warm and humid weather today and through much of next week. Today looks like it is the only day that should stay dry. Rain chances will continue all week. The best chances of heavy rain look to be Monday into the evening. Wednesday looks to be the relatively driest day. Today should be our warmest day of the week with lower elevation spots across the county possibly touching 90 degrees while ridge locales will likely only reach the upper 80's.

Are there any wildfires going on in PA? We've got a Phoenix AZ type brown haze here in Tamaqua and the air has a bit of a smoky smell.

There is a tiny one SE of Jim Thorpe  but that’s it I think. More likely from Canada.

The NWS has issued a flood watch for today and a heat advisory for tomorrow. There is a growing threat of flash flooding for some spots across the area. Forecast models have been a bit inconsistent on exactly where these will be so will be keeping an eye on those radars. We should remain warm and humid all week with the hottest day being tomorrow where some lower elevation spots may touch the low 90's. Ridge locations will likely fall just short of 90. We turn a bit cooler but still humid by the end of the week with temperatures a few degrees below normal during the afternoons but a few degrees above normal at night.

Getting back into the swing of things here after a splendid 4th of July weekend.  Low of only 73, as humidity seems to be the name of the game this week.  We've actually had some decent showers going here for most of the morning.  It will be interesting to see who gets the big rain totals this week.
