canderson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Following Irene's good practice for everyone in this thread. It'll get us used to closely watching a promising storm that no doubt misses us by about 40 miles to the east! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 My stomach is still not recovered from the entire winter 2010-11 fiasco. And to our friends north near Williamsport, they probably have already given up on ever seeing a storm of any kind again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Euro way West tonight. Heavy rain axis right up the I81 corridor, So...stay here and record the rain or travel to NJ and take in the dying Cat 1 gusts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene is suddenly a lot more interesting for you guys. we currently have heavy, heavy rain. not impressed with the cracking or light show though.. Yeah, i'm a lil worried for Irene. I still haven't found anyone to fix my slate and still have it patched...I just called my Bro too, who has hell of a collection of Sports Memorabilia. A couple years ago he lost a lot, now he has 2 sump pumps, and 2 generators. i just told him to service them and get ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most significant here is the 06 GFS precip map. And from other sources here, I believe the latest Euro is a bit more west than this. Quite the gradient and a large shift west from the previous GFS precip graphic...(I think it's all Canderson's fault, he said wide right. Now maybe we have to suffer the wrath of the weather gods) http://www.americanw...-1314267721.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Euro way West tonight. Heavy rain axis right up the I81 corridor, So...stay here and record the rain or travel to NJ and take in the dying Cat 1 gusts? Yea 0z Euro pounds the eastern 2/3's of PA rainwise. In true central PA AOO and UNV get 2.5" and almost 3" respectively. The Europeans EPS control run offers pretty much the same general solution, which likely indicates that the ensemble spread jives with the operational quite nicely. Another noteable thing on the 0z Euro is that it's 10m wind gust map places a corridor 50-55knots in the slice of PA between State College and Harrisburg. If the storm comes west enough a good high elevation on a ridge top or something may be a good substitute for going to NJ. As for the GFS, looks like the 6z GFS was a bit east of the 0z run, which stomped NE PA up into the BGM area. Both GFS runs confined heavier rainfall to about the eastern quarter of PA and only got trace to minor amounts back into the central counties. Overall the I-81 corridor and east looks like a very high likelihood of seeing decent effects from the storm, but any shift either way with the models will determine how ridiculous those effects get. Back in the central, it continues to be worth watching in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy rain axis right up the I81 corridor, So...stay here and record the rain or travel to NJ and take in the dying Cat 1 gusts? I'm dying to go back to my parents back in Levittown...Euro pretty much takes Irene right over their house but class tentatively starts monday. Oh well, we are looking at TS winds out here and still 3-5 inches of rain right now. with a trend to the west right now, we could see even more.

sauss06 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Like always, a lot depends on the exact eventual track. But even as it stands now, i think those of us in south Central Pa could end up with severel inches of rain. What about wind? also, didn't we have the remnants of a Hurricane come up through similar to this in the early 2000"s (i'm thinking like 03ish) i'm also thinking it was September.

That did some really bad damage in York County with trees. Ivan also blew down trees on Tussey Mountain near State College. Wind is always a crap shoot with these things.

Not a lot of sleep that night. Driving to work the next morning was an obstacle course...there were just as many roads closed with trees/wires down as there was open.

I was living at 32nd and Market st in philly when Isabel came through. It was an old converted train building on the 11th floor and the windows were original. Never heard banshee screaming of winds like that before. Got maybe 30mins of sleep the entire night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With me out on Fire calls she was scared, thought the trees by our house were going to fall on her. i was actually nervous myself. You get those bad thunderstorms with strong wind gusts that last for a a couple of minutes...the wind HOWLED that night for several hours. Our bedroom window faces south and east, and they were shaking. My wife and i got up and took the kids downstairs for a while. The wind had woke all of us up, so we decided to have some fun and play some games at 2am. That fun was short lived though, once the power went out, the younger kids were scared.
