E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion

[The Iceman]

There's got to be prolific flash flooding ongoing right now in S Jersey and DE. Storms training over the same area, already 5" in spots on radar. Going to be a long afternoon down there. We had just shy of an inch back at home in Levittown(.9") through 2 different storms. Here in Trenton, we had several periods of heavy showers but nothing too long lasting.

Probably the closest I've been to a lightning strike while standing outside.  Awesome.

The rain has finally almost stopped after more than 3.5 hours of it.  4.53" over that time.  Over 8 inches for the month after 8.4" for July.   It took til the end of August but that was the best storm of the year.  Mainly for the rain and lightning (and for almost getting struck by it lol).

Been finally getting some heavier returns but no gully washers and lots of convection picked up by my lightning detector the past couple hours.  Mainly scattered cells.  Currently have 3/4"/hr rates and 0.62" in the bucket.  Temp 67/dp 66.
