That craziness all throughout eastern PA has me a little nervous for later.
-
That might be conservative if we get in on that mass of precipitation still training through eastern PA. It's been a while since we've seen a radar this geographically extensive at one time with heavy rainfall rates. 1.55" in the bucket here, but so far I'm missing the heaviest of it.
-
1.25" Good enough. But more is coming. I'm missing the worst of it for now. Most of the deepest red is going around me. I'm not complaining.
-
0.92", rising quickly, and still pouring.
-
0.4" on the day and rising quickly.
-
Holy eastern PA!
-
The first round fizzled out before crossing the river. Maybe something will reform north of Allentown. Looks like there is potentially some flooding rains out in the Reading area.
-
Wonder what will become of that line out in eastern PA. Looks to be well organized at the moment and should have plenty of fuel as it heads north and east.
-
I figured people up your way were doing well. Been watching radar all afternoon skip off to the north of me by ~25-30 miles and now to the south and east too. I can see the billowing cumulonimbus all around me. It's quite a sight, but not a drop here.
-
2.13" for today and 4.6" for the last two days (in the 28 hours since 3:30 PM yesterday). Just had another 0.85" including 0.52" in fifteen minutes, along with a couple of close lightning bolts.
-
Just reached 4" exactly since around 3:30 pm yesterday, including 1.28" since midnight and 1.04" since around 9:30. A nice break now, brightening up. I hope it stays that way for a while.
-
I'm under that stripe now over North Jersey. Heavy rain and lots of lightening. I've already added 0.84" to yesterday's total, making both days (but still technically less than 24 hours) worth 3.54"
-
2.74" here last 24 hours. The Cocorahs map has the heavier amounts just to my north and west which adds up because the first round yesterday morning completely missed me but dumped 1.4" in about a half hour one town away. Just noticed that. We actually had some sun early this morning so I was starting to think getting a short hike in. Then poof - the last few radar frames and it's back. Already added 0.04" to the total from above.
-
Up to 2.27" on the day. Pouring again. I'm going into hour 7 of observable thunder and lightening. I took this photo earlier from the Stop and Shop in Sparta of brightening skies off to the west and ominous storm clouds overhead and to the east. The image is very true to how it actually looked and it was taken around 8:10 PM. The storms won the battle again a short time later.
-
I'm up to 1.46" on the day. Surprised it's not more, but I'd rather get it pieces, and not 7" at once. The line just keeps re-loading to my south. I've now observed constant thunder and lightening for the past four hours.
-
In a deluge here. 0.44 here just in the last 20 minutes or so. Looks like the storms are training over the area now which could lead to some serious totals if you stay under that red.
-
Mom says no power and no phones. Two large branches are down in the yard. I'm heading out that way shortly. 1.4" of rain from the storm - and 0.00 here five miles away.
-
Any severe reports/damage out of Sussex County? That was a nasty cell. It skipped just to my north and looked ominous. My 75 year old Mom is texting me telling me it was scary up her way with wind and her neighbors lost a fence. I'll be out later so if I see anything I'll post.
-
And the sauna has arrived. Dewpoints are hitting mid 70s in spots.
-
I am holding off watering unless it's absolutely necessary. Today was a bust, and they hung onto the rain forecasts too long, despite no radar or ground confirmation. We'll see about the next 7 days. Hopefully you're right, although I could skip Saturday since we have outdoor plans.
-
Thundershower here with brief gusty winds and a little bit of hail (pea size). Didn't amount to much. 0.03"
-
0.16" thus far. Radar looks worse than it actually is, but I'll take it.
-
0.6" Nice soaking. It's a start. Still raining. On the lighter side now.
-
Don't jinx it. None the less, the air is very pleasant today.
-
Look at Cape May and the Delmarva now stuck in the mid-50s, presumably due to the smoke.
