E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion

[LVLion77]

In lv near lower macungie , I had less than a.5 of rain. Western lehigh missed everything again. A drought emergency will be declared by weeks end
 

I received less than a 10th of an inch. If you look at the precip accumulation map, there is a narrow strip of very little rain along south mountain from Easton all the way to Fleetwood in Berks County.

0.08" yesterday. Light rain moving in, hoping to shatter the 0.10" barrier.

Steady light stuff continues. No Flash Flood but it's good to see a constant steady light rain falling. Feels like it's been a while...

Temp actually went down to 66F:

Light stratiform rains what a novelty

Up to 0.14" on the day.  66.6F

I did ultimately finish up with 2.56" for day 1, mostly due to getting under several cells.  Made it up to 86 for a high after a 67 low, before the rain knocked that down.

With today's light overrunning precip., I have picked up 0.23" so far for a 2-day total o 2.79" and monthly total of 6.15". Despite that, I heard on the radio yesterday that we are still experiencing drought conditions here in the city (below as of the last update) -

Currently light rain and 66 with dp 66.

Little more than 0.25" on the day so far. Doesn't do much for the drought but hopefully it will keep the lawn from getting any browner for a few days.
