I know how they're going to play out. Tamaqua and eastern Schuylkill County will be fringed, as usual. 

Wait, I thought you just said you got a half inch?? That's nothing to sneeze at.  I know you're being facetious (maybe? haha), but we actually don't know how any of it will play out.  Wasn't the best action always supposed to favor southeastern areas today?  C'mon, head up Voyager!

Well, I'm a weather geek and a YouTube trucker, so I was hoping for deluges and flooded roads so I could make an interesting video today.

Wunderground has now hit a no rain prediction for the rest of the evening. Looking at radar I can see that possibility

On a regional level, I think the flooding rains were over hyped a bit. Locally, I'm sure some places saw torrential downpours and some street level flooding, but otherwise, in my travels from Allentown to Tamaqua, it was not much of anything.

Did some digging and the good news for me is that my little rain deficit is highly localized. I can't go 5 miles without running into a station that has 4"+ than myself and the few around me. On the other hand it's even stranger that this small area has so little

@Voyager you have some explaining to do for 1947 and 2006file-YXsxWvqSYyoxZNQgod85cP.jpgfile-2UbSNKbJY1GCThu9R9yPGZ.jpgfile-3iCMv9z6oRk8LPWnZ41xHR.jpg

The only explanation I have is that I'm a jinx. My wife told me they used to get good storms all the time. Then I moved here and since then, not so much.

Actually, I do remember 2006. We got that 16 inches in 4 days. It prompted nearly half the town to be evacuated because they thought the Tuscarora Dam was going to fail as the water from the lake was flowing over the top because they couldn't initially get the flood gates open.

1947 had to be really bad up there
