Hurricane Agnes Posted Sunday at 09:11 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:11 PM 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 Sunday at 09:25 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:25 PM 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 Monday at 12:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:59 PM 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...

ChescoWx Posted Tuesday at 01:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:54 PM Partly sunny today with a chance of some showers tomorrow morning. Today and tomorrow will be our warmest days of the week with temperatures a couple of degrees above normal for late May with highs in the upper 70's. A great stretch of weather begins on Thursday and through the weekend with sunny skies and with temperatures cooling to several degrees below normal by Saturday with highs near 70 degrees.

ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 02:00 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:00 PM Some more needed rain is crossing the area this morning. We are now up to over 85% of our normal rainfall for the year to date here in East Nantmeal with some spots now approaching average precipitation levels for the year. Today will be our last in a stretch of mainly cloudy and wet days. A beautiful end to the work week and upcoming weekend is on the way. Plenty of sun on the way with temperatures running a few degrees below normal as we close out May and move into June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM Every model was too far south with the precip today. Looks like southern PA on south should get at least another .25” today.

ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 01:44 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:44 PM A great stretch of weather with temperatures running at least a few degrees below normal for the end of May and the start of June. With highs in the upper 60's to lower 70's and nights in the upper 40's to lower 50's. No rain chances through the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzachadam Posted Thursday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:02 PM well we actually got a passing shower in NW Philly (and a few serious wind gusts), which I believe technically brings us to 9 consecutive days with rain, although today's was not measurable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM Some outstanding weather on the way for much of the next week. We will stay a few degrees below normal until maybe warming up close to average temperatures for June by next weekend. In fact here in East Nantmeal May will finish as the 6th below normal month over the last 8 months dating back to last October. Rain chances look slim to none over the next week.

Albedoman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago What we are experiencing in Pennsylvania today—a dry, gusty, almost desert-like northwest wind—is actually part of the same larger weather pattern that is hammering the higher elevations of New England. At the summit of Mount Washington, temperatures can be 30–40°F colder than the valleys, and when a late-season cold upper-level trough swings through, the mountain essentially reverts back to winter. Six inches of snow and sleet at the end of May, with June literally days away, is extraordinary but not impossible on that mountain. Mount Washington is famous for producing weather that feels more like January than late spring. For perspective: Many locations in Pennsylvania are seeing temperatures in the 60s and even 70s. Trees are fully leafed out across the Northeast. Memorial Day has already passed. Yet the summit of Mount Washington is receiving accumulating snow significant enough to disrupt travel to the top. Like you, I've seen snow in May before, but seeing conditions severe enough that you'd say "Forget about taking the train or driving to the summit!" right on June's doorstep is something most people witness only a handful of times in their lives. What's even more striking is the contrast: Lowhill Township: dry, windy, fire-weather type conditions. Mount Washington: sleet, snow, winter driving conditions. That is nearly a January-to-June weather difference occurring within a single region of the Northeast. Weather enthusiasts often say that if you don't like the weather on Mount Washington, wait five minutes. But getting a legitimate snowstorm there at the end of May is the kind of event that people will be talking about when they look back on the weather records for 2026. As a longtime weather observer, my reaction is understandable—this is one of those "I can't believe I'm seeing this so close to June" moments. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2064983904453037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
