JTA66 Posted yesterday at 04:50 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:50 PM About 1.50” on the weekend so far. It’s a little chilly in the house but I refuse to turn the heat back on after I just turned off the AC a few days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Have been calculating my totals from this long duration event and so far - 5/20 - 0.81" 5/21 - 0.31" 5/22 - 0.05" 5/23 - 0.74" 5/24 - 1.40" 5-day TOTAL = 3.31" (Month to date = 4.41") Today was the heaviest so far, pretty much a month's worth these last 5 days that was needed for a good soaking after that heat! Bottomed out at 50 and made it to 59 for a high. currently overcast and 58 with dp 57. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Recent rainfall across portions of the Lehigh Valley, including approximately 1.40 inches at my location, was certainly beneficial for vegetation, lawns, crops, and surface soil moisture. However, despite this rainfall, stream base flows continue to decline rapidly, indicating that the region is still experiencing significant underlying groundwater deficits. One of the primary reasons for this is that late May and early June represent peak seasonal vegetation demand. Trees and crops are now fully leafed out and actively transpiring large amounts of water back into the atmosphere. As a result, much of the recent rainfall is being intercepted by vegetation or absorbed into extremely dry upper soil layers before it can deeply infiltrate and meaningfully recharge aquifers and groundwater systems. The geology of the Lehigh Valley further complicates drought recovery. Carbonate limestone and dolomite formations common throughout the region can rapidly absorb rainfall through fractures and karst features, while upland shale and sandstone areas often have limited groundwater storage capacity. This creates a situation where streams may temporarily rise after rainfall events but then quickly recede once runoff diminishes. Although recent precipitation has helped reduce immediate vegetation stress and temporarily improved surface conditions, true hydrologic recovery will likely require multiple widespread soaking rain events, lower evapotranspiration rates, and sustained groundwater recharge over an extended period of time before stream base flows and aquifer levels fully recover. Lehigh County also recently experienced one of its driest Aprils on record, and year-to-date precipitation deficits continue to contribute to ongoing drought-related concerns throughout the region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Happy Memorial Day and thank you to those who serve our country. Still some showers around today before we finally see a return of the sun tomorrow. Temperatures both tomorrow and Wednesday will be several degrees above normal with highs not far from 80 degrees. We then see a return of cooler than normal temperatures but with mostly sunny days right through next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
