KamuSnow Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago There's a tornado warning area that stops about 5 miles west of here. Also we're in a severe warning here. Storms seem to be moving slow, been hearing muffled thunder for a while now. Mostly I'm rooting for rain, got a total of 0.50" in the 2 rounds of storms last week, and nothing more than some light showers the laat 2 days. Interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago At 0.50" so far, the severe part didn’t really materialize here, but I'm looking for rain anyway. Nice steady rain now, with a bit of lightning and thunder. Cooler too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Good looking storm as it approached, but completely fell apart as it did. Maybe we can cash in on some rain, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago 23 minutes ago, RedSky said: Radar estimates have hit 6-7" in extreme north Bucks and Lower Lehigh Just listening to NOAA Weather radio and heard the auto-guy call your area "Qwee-care-town. So far the rain band has diffused over me and I only have 0.10" in the bucket after a couple passes, with only light rain sitting over me at the moment. Not complaining since I got 0.90" yesterday . Currently 70 with dp 69 (had a high of 83 today).. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago We received approximately 3.45 inches of rain in Lower Macungie during the past 24 hours, and it came in three separate events of more than one inch each. This is exactly the type of beneficial rainfall our farmers, streams, and groundwater resources have desperately needed after months of persistent dry conditions. For once, the Lehigh Valley received meaningful rainfall instead of watching storms repeatedly weaken, split, or miss the areas north of South Mountain. The response of the Little Lehigh Creek says it all. The creek is now at or near bankfull—the first time I have personally seen it at that level in more than four months. While the heavier rainfall has obviously created localized flooding concerns, we should not lose sight of the larger issue. Much of the Lehigh Valley has needed substantial, sustained rainfall for months. This event finally delivered enough water to provide meaningful soil-moisture recharge, improve streamflow, and give agricultural areas the soaking rainfall they badly needed. One heavy rainfall period does not erase months of precipitation and groundwater deficits, but this is certainly a major improvement and hopefully the beginning of a change in the pattern rather than another isolated event. After months of watching beneficial rainfall repeatedly miss the Lehigh Valley, 3.45 inches in three substantial rounds is a welcome sight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 14 hours ago, SouthernNJ said: The line of thunderstorms is bowing forward moving into the area. Some circulations are appearing as well, including near Avondale/Kennett Square. This activity is moving northeast and will enter Delaware and Montgomery counties before reaching Philadelphia. TPHL 6:33 PM: We had TOR warning but luckily didn't get one. Was intense for a few minutes. Absolutely poured as well. Power was only out for about 20 minutes. Now if only the dew point would go below 60 I can open the windows. PECO bill is absurd!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
