Voyager

Driving up 100 from Fogelsville to New Tripoli. I don't know if it produced anything rotation-wise, but there were plenty of reports of hail from McAdoo through Lansford and Summit Hill to Palmerton. Can't wait to hear from my wife to see and hear what she encountered as she left work.

There is actually a good one rolling southeast from Pottsville to Hamburg, and again up in WB/Scranton. I'm splitting the goal posts....again. Guess that's going to be the storm pattern for the summer.

Yup. That's how I knew about it. My radar app dinged me with a notification.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch up for parts of central and northeastern PA this afternoon and evening.

The sky itself literally looks like it's boiling, and as for the humidity, at the water plant in Fogelsville it was off the charts. Even I couldn't stand how oppressive it felt, especially in the sun. I'm up near Tamaqua getting another load now and it's mostly overcast here.

Great discussion, but is it region wide, or more south and east positioned?

Second warned storm of the day on our doorstep.

0.31" from whatever got Tamaqua.

Finally got one in Tamaqua, but I'm sitting in the eye doctor's chair where the blue dot is...

Well, I'm warned for the one south of Pottsville that popped up. We'll see what comes of it.

Growing, but again, I-78 and south... For a storm lover, this is and has been, painful to see.

Humpf... Same as it ever was.

Yup. Partly sunny and steamy today. Will the storms produce today or not. That is the question...

The idea of you in a speedo make me wish for 60 and drizzle...

They forgot the part that says "except wherever Voyager is located, and/or Tamaqua"....lol So here's how yesterday at Knoebels panned out. Around 4:30 the sky to the west got black as night, and it looked like a solid pummelling was to commence in short order, so we bailed and headed to the car. The rain came, but it was nothing more than a shower that got everything wet, but no thunder or lightning. The line had broken apart. Some went north of 80 and some stayed south along and near the 81/78 split. By the time we got to Frackville (Cracker Barrel) it was high and dry. The "Tamaqua Split" yesterday became the "Elysburg Split"...

Wonder why the storms keep raking the same general areas this year. South of 78 and north of 80 seem to be the hot spots.

I did the same in Elysburg. It did rain hard enough to wet the ground pretty good though

You know, now that I DON'T want to see one (at Knoebels) we'll get one...

Hush... Today's my wife's company picnic at Knoebels.

That happened at my mom's in AZ in 2023. It was the nonsoon monsoon, but we did get one big storm, which had to rip the roof off her patio. Glad it wasn't the main roof, but still... I was just glad I was out there when it happened as it was easier for me to get it fixed as opposed to her trying with her handicapped condition.

We can't get a decent thunderstorm to save our lives here, but we do drizzle and mist quite well... FML

That would be a bummer as it's my wife's company picnic day at Knoebels.

Dump all that water out and you'll get my rainfall total from yesterday...lol

Story of the past decade for me. We do well with synoptic rain, but convective storms avoid Tamaqua like the plague...

Here's the latest one forming right at the edge of Tamaqua that will roll south to Allentown again... As I've been saying for awhile now. If I like or want it, I can't have it, but if I hate it, I can have it in abundance. And that goes for everything, not just storms.
