BBasile Posted Monday at 02:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:23 PM August ended with 1.99" of rain. Kicked off September with a low of 55F this morning. Models don't look too optimistic for rainfall to start this month. Lets hope this fall doesn't end up like the last one with monster wildfires.

Newman Posted Monday at 03:55 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:55 PM A couple climate statistics for Allentown as we wrapped up August: The average temperature was 70.0F, the coolest August since 2008. Likewise the average minimum was 58.3F, the lowest since 2008. The lowest minimum recorded was 45F, which is the lowest August min since 2000 (which tied with a min of 45). The next year that recorded a lower minimum in August is 1986! 1.6" of precip fell, which is the driest August since 2008. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:58 PM The sun is a bit active today. Space weather has been more exciting than Earth weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymac5306 Posted Tuesday at 11:00 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:00 AM Not much to yak about. Even the tropics are fairly quiet. Need the rain though. Go Birds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Tuesday at 04:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:22 PM 13 of the 19 current Chester County stations recorded their driest August on record. Of note those stations have less years with data. That said on average it appears this to be the 3rd driest August since 1893 across our fair county. The driest such months occurred in 1896 and 1943. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted yesterday at 12:56 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:56 AM Round 2 of storms starting now. Glad we’re getting a nice deluge today after the last 2 weeks have been bone dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM Getting hammered. Best t storms in a long time. Lighting hitting homes in our area. Thunder shaking the whole house. Picked up nearly an inch so far. This rain helped the corn and soybean yields 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:34 AM This downpour is much heavier than the earlier one. Decent amount of close CGs too. Radar estimates a little over 1.5” so far…will probably end up with close to 2” on the day when it’s all said and done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted yesterday at 09:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:17 AM Picked up 0.43" from 2 rounds (0.34" + another 0.09" later). Will take it! Last rain here was 0.10" on August 20th. Had bottomed out at 61 and got up to 83 yesterday. The humidity was clearly felt though. Currently 66 with dp 65. OT but glad the Iggles came through on game 1 (even with the lightning delay) because Dallas sucks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted yesterday at 11:46 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:46 AM A little more than .60" last evening. Had a brief shower earlier in the week bringing my Sept total to .75". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Most spots picked up some much-needed rainfall last night. Amounts ranged between as little as .09" at the Nottingham to as much as 0.90" at Glenmoore. We have the chance at some more rain and storms with a strong cold frontal passage tomorrow into Sunday. Today and tomorrow look like our last chance to touch the 80's for a while with higher humidity to add to the summer feel to the days. We turn much chillier again by Sunday with temperatures by Monday struggling to escape the 60's for highs across the higher ridges in the area. Overnight low temperatures will again reach the 40's in many spots by early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soadforecasterx Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Yesterday was painful to watch radar. Needed rain bad here in West Grove but only ended up with 0.19" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Had 0.35" here, about inline with expectations, but was prepared for a miss, so not unhappy. Maybe we can add to it tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago What’s up with the thick haze today? It doesn’t look like any Canadian wildfire smoke is nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be smoke from Canadian wildfires that rotated around the large closed low centered just north of the Great Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. I just thought it was weird that the sky looked smoky but the air quality was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
