When the weather gets interesting out here, the guys at the NWS are on their game. Nice video explanation of what to expect over the weekend. https://fb.watch/g9CEZKPgPa/

Just for s&g's though...lol. Mid October 100 for the win.

I brought Pennsylvania to Arizona...lol My backyard forecast. Saturday A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 4pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 4pm and 5pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 5pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Increasing clouds, with a high near 85. Light and variable wind becoming east 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Saturday Night Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Patchy blowing dust before 7pm. Low around 65. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

That must have been a hot link because the graphic changed.

Wow...was that map ever spot on for Tamaqua. My backyard got 1.06" so far, and that map had me barely in the 1 to 1.25 inch gradient.

Not mine...

Interesting contrast in thought processes. Perhaps the difference is humid vs dry?

I decided to do an internet search, and here's what I found out, which is kind of what I was thinking... In Arizona, air conditioner units are mostly seen on the rooftop. As it is a hot place, the air conditioner units require optimal circulation as well as ventilation. Furthermore, without needing to go upstairs, the air might be pumped immediately downwards towards the homes and offices. As a result, air conditioners can deliver a better result and efficiently keep the house cool. https://roofinghawk.com/why-are-ac-units-on-the-roof-in-arizona/

Yeah they would...lol I'm not sure why they do the roof thing out here, but most houses have them up there.

88 and gorgeous here in the Valley of the Sun with my Eagles leading the Cardinals 14-0 just a mere 8 miles from my house.

Low in Tamaqua was 31 this morning. Six degrees lower than the forecast.

Midnighters in Tamaqua, 35 degrees.

Drastic temperature difference at 8:30pm EDT between my PA home and my Arizona home. Tamaqua: 40 Sun City: 88

So this is how the seasons play out in Phoenix... We have Arizona summer from June to September, then Pennsylvania summer in October and November, then Pennsylvania spring from December to March, then Pennsylvania summer again from mid March to May, and then back to Arizona summer starting in June. Perfect for me!!!

Up to 3.03" now as of 9pm.

2.92" now.

Up to 2.76" just today. The event total so far is 3.54".

According to my Tamaqua backyard gauge, I have 1.99" so far and it's raining at 3/4 inch per hour. Should go over 2 inches for the day.

I remember that happening so many times over the years in PA. We'd get a crappy weekend from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, and then, an hour or two before sunset, the skies would magically clear. Then Monday would be gorgeous.

Good morning, October!!! 7:00am back patio reading...

I'm loving my 90s right now!!!

You guys can't seem to buy rain right now. This map is ugly for most of PA.

Out here in AZ, the monsoon can be equally impressive...if you manage to get under a good cell. It's not like PA where you get long lines of storms traversing the state. Here they mostly form in the mountains, then drift toward Phoenix metro and build and die along outflow boundaries.

I figured you might have gotten a good one.

Just looked at radar and it appeared that Sunbury down to Herndon got absolutely pummeled. Can anyone confirm?
