  1. Looks like 87 is going in the books for today's high, which is just above the seasonal norms and once again...a few degrees over what was predicted.
  2. So I mentioned Tropical Storm Lee the other day and that got me thinking...what was the weather like in 2011 before that event? Sort of interesting discovery even if it means literally nothing. In 2011 we had AN precipitation in spring (same as this year, except for Rouzerville) In 2011 we had a very hot July, including a 103 reading at MDT. (we had a record-setting hot July this year) In 2011 July was very dry. (We all know how dry it's been this year) So while all of that might be purely coincidental, maybe just maybe we'll turn things around over the coming months. (though hopefully not to the extreme that we did in September 2011)
  3. Some of those NY weenies would be complaining that the torch isn't completely submerged.
  4. One thing I can say for certain - I NEVER look at the 10 day GFS. I don't look at the 10 day anything for that matter. I did just look at the thermometer and I'm sitting at 84.
  5. I almost...kinda...sorta...feel that let down that I do after tracking a big snowstorm and it's moved on. Last couple of days have been fun. Without the cleanup.
  6. @Voyager I had zero wind here...I mean maybe just the slightest of a breeze during the time that it rained. Since the rain ended the winds have picked up a bit out of the NW but only 10-15 mph or so. (thus far)
  7. Wait until we christen our dedicated September Tropical Thread. We'll be like the New England folks and quickly grow to 175 pages by 9/15.
  8. Didn't make it to 3", finished the event at 2.95". Still, that's 5.41" over the past 3 days. That will help out a lot.
  9. Talk about a sharp cutoff - 1.5" in Elizabethtown and 5.5" in Gap! (both in Lanco)
  10. CTP just mentioned that up to 5" has fallen across Lancaster county - mostly south and east of the city. I'm going to end up around 3" it appears.
  11. PHL just picked up 1.17" of rain in 26 minutes. You said that I was gonna steal your rain, well Philly stole mine!
  12. Rainfall here is very light now, all of the heavier returns are from eastern Lanco on east. I might very well end up < 3" for this event.
  13. I know enough to never want to be on the east side of a tropical system for this very reason.
  14. Looks like a very heavy band is getting ready to come up into Lanco out of NE MD shortly. Rain here was heavy but is down to moderate now. I might have been too conservative, as @Superstorm said it's hauling and might be gone in a few hours!
  15. Heavy rain continues. I waited to pass the 2" mark before posting. 2.02" storm total thus far. 4.48" since Saturday.
  16. Not specific to our area, but a stronger cyclone might prove that the European and Ukie models might have been on to something when they've been modeling wind gust in the 80-95 mph range at the Jersey shore and Long Island. Many thought those estimates were far too high...I guess we'll see soon enough.
  17. I would guess that as long as the center of circulation goes east of us, probably not much difference. If it goes further west all bets are off.
  18. If anyone is following this storm in the dedicated tropical thread...it's deepening quickly. Now up to 85 mph and still some time for further strengthening.
