You know it's 2020 when (in addition to everything else) the winter snow hounds are out in force on Aug 3rd. Now normally, I'd be out roaming, looking for flooding in this situation, but I'm house bound. A stuck kidney stone and a trip to the ER today led to me coming home with a Foley catheter. I'm relegated to watching this one from my front and back porch...

Biggest snowfall of 2020 if it verifies...

Our 5:30pm storm here in Tamaqua was visible all the way down at the Mt Holly NWS office...

0.81" combined from round one (7:30am) and just now (5:30pm) round two.

Such a good, clean cut! Rolls well, too...

And if Isaias dumps another 2-4 those areas are in real trouble...

Yes, perhaps. Each model has it's heaviest axis of qpf in slightly different locations, but all are in the same general ballpark.

I had .3".

I like that Canadian run. If only....

Look at the Lehigh Valley. Allentown and Bethlehem with flooding issues if that map verified. I'd end up with about 2".

It really seems as if you need a Charleston SC to Wilmington NC landfall to get the remnants into central PA.

We get that a lot here in Tamaqua in the winter. The CAD will often have us 10+ degrees COLDER than Hazleton in the early morning.

4:00pm reading from Billtown... WILLIAMSPORT SUNNY 99 63 30 W15 29.75F HX 101

94/68 heat index 100.

91 here today.

I forgot about those little bastards. With all the other goings on in the world, not much has been mentioned of them here...

OMG...

We got about a half inch so far, but south of town is getting slammed at the moment.

Getting some copious shots right now. It downpours, then shuts off, then downpours again.

haha...I knew someone would post it! I can hear rumbles of thunder and got 0.01" so I guess you can't call that a shut out anyway...

Looks like a failure up this way. Everything that was on 81 in the Jonestown area seems like it wants to run the Blue Mountain...

I guess it's the "smell of money", but that's so God awful bad, that there's no way I could ever live there.

It was bound to happen. As for the previous rains, I don't know about anywhere else, but when a storm is forming right over town, it seems to want to keep backbuilding. The clouds billow up, gets dark, and just lets loose with quarter to half dollar sized rain drops. Then, just about when it looks like is over and past us, a new cluster pops up and repeats the process. I've seen it in other years as well. Usually we get the split, or the line falls apart or disintegrates, but if they build at the right location in the right conditions, we get DUMPED on.

We got maybe 1/100" out of that...lol

Yeah, especially since it's supposed to be a few degrees warmer in the Harrisburg area than the Lehigh Valley.
