    I don't know what happened. The rain seemed to train over the area. One concern I have is that I looked at the USGS Tamaqua gauge and it showed a bit less than my backyard. It shows 1.25". I wonder how accurate the hepatic rain gauge on the Tempest is. More and more, I've been contemplating going back to a traditional weather station with a tipping bucket and wind cups.

    It really is. There was always the possibility of morning showers, but we got a few bursts of heavy rain (with embedded thunder) that started about 8:30am and continued until noon.

    Well, I certainly did NOT expect 1.83" of rain from "round one", but that what I got in my backyard. With that said, I wonder if it stabilized the air mass enough that it thwarts our chances here for potential severe later on. It seems as if the focus is on points southeast as of now.
  4. Voyager
    Yeah, it got better here too Is the rain more widespread that originally forecast? I thought there would be a distinct lull, and even potential clearing between the first round, and what comes later, but looking at radar, clouds and rain still stretch across most of the central part of the state from southwest to northeast.

    Woke up from a la-z-boy siesta, and came outside, and it's thundering like every 15-30 seconds here. It's a low roll kind coming from my west-southwest towards Pottsville. Looks like that cell is moving closer. Rain so far in my backyard is now up to 1.25". Also, I can somewhat smell the smoke again, too.

    Wunderground shows that I got .61" The Tempest App says I got .78" Not sure which one to believe, but either way we got a good opening shot.
  7. Voyager
    We are getting a straight up downpour at the moment, so the first shot has been made.

    Even Channel 6 Philadelphia sees the Tamaqua Split...
  9. Voyager
    So, will tomorrow's high severe chances finally overcome the Tamaqua Split?

    On my last load it was even getting into the truck through the air conditioner. It stinks out there. Despite the smoke, I've maxed out (so far) at 89 degrees

    Oh boy. I run one of the water tankers, so that's a regular route to Fogelsville. I can go through Schnecksville if I need to, but our 8,000 gallon tankers are permitted, and can only use 309/100, as they weigh 100,000 lbs. I wonder if Penn Dot is going to adjust the permit route so they can keep running.

    It's pretty bad now already. I could distinctly smell the smoke on the Blue Mountain where we load our water. Elevation may play a part in that, though, as it's a bit higher that the valleys below.

    A little cooler here this morning at 69 degrees. We got 0.05" of rain from the storms that missed to the east yesterday afternoon. Despite that, the high was 95.

    The Jordan Creek along route 100 looks about ready to dry up completely. I've never seen it this low before.
  15. Voyager
    Storms fired to the north, but everything is going southeast. Best we'll get is a glancing blow. Looks like Carbon County is getting/gonna get slammed again.
  16. Voyager
    Warm morning by Tamaqua standards. We generally drop into the upper 60's even during the warmest heat events. Currently 72 at 6:00am
  17. Voyager
    Even with the smoke, I got up to 93 (92.5) today.
  18. Voyager
    Starting to notice the smoke in the Tamaqua area today already.

    I will never stop loving summer, but the Crohn's has made me less tolerant of the high heat and humidity. I find myself wanting overcast 75 degree days over the sunny and 90 days.
  20. Voyager
    I was jut going to ask about this. Caught me off guard... Wednesday Patchy smoke before 11am, then patchy smoke after 5pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 94. West wind 7 to 10 mph. Wednesday Night Widespread smoke, mainly between 8pm and 9pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 67. Light northwest wind.
  21. Voyager
    Same as it ever was. Just a bit outside...
  22. Voyager
    I can't get excited about severe threats because they never materialize in my local vicinity.
  23. Voyager
    There is no doubt that I-81 in Schuylkill County is a storm killer for any storms moving in a northwest to southeast trajectory. The complex moving down from Williamsport died just about at the freeway.
  24. Voyager
    I'm gonna complain in the here and now and say that it looks like the Williamsport storm complex is going to miss me to the south...

    Strange goings on here in the Skook. High clouds with the sun shining through, but spitting raindrops from time to time.
