Well, THIS caught me off guard this morning....
Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms likely before 11pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm between 11pm and 2am, then showers after 2am. Low around 53. Light north wind. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
Up to 0.29" now in my backyard.
We now have a rain gauge at out water loading facility, and that one shows 0.30" so pretty even rainfall across my immediate region.
I said to the wife this morning that we do extremes quite well here. Told her that once the pattern flips we'll probably go extended dry and warm/hot.
Not that I'm complaining about it. Just that it probably happens...
Yup. Snedeker on WNEP showed a coastal low riding up on Saturday that would wash out most of the weekend. The NWS on the other hand shows some showers on Saturday and a decent Sunday.
If I had a pool and wanted to go swimming, I'd want it warmer, but for regular picnic purposes, this IS perfection.
And what a chamber of commerce sky it is today with the puffy, fair weather clouds.
Yes, I saw that. I believe even Allentown has quite a bit less than I do. Personally, I consider anything east of the Susquehanna to be Eastern PA, but officially (and per my NWS region) I'm actually in Central PA, and by default, NEPA.
It has to have changed. I'm sitting at 9.69" for the month so far. Next weeks forecast that I showed above is just depressing. I just watched WNEP's Joe Snedeker, as the wife has it on in the morning when she's getting ready for work, and he showed the map with the trough and ULL feature....again.
When will it end? Will it EVER end?????
