It was a pretty good storm and this is definitely one of the more active tstorm periods in a while. Got a decent 0.65 for this round with maybe a small shower to wrap things up.
By chance I drove through the center of the cll and it was vey heavy rain. When I returned home it was just some moderate rain as the storm just skirted me with a grand total of 0.05”. There is a nice more impressive blob north of reading that I hope holds together and builds slightly north as it comes east.
Yeah early am it was heavy rain. I went back to bed and was surprised it amounted to 1 1/4” on my gauge. A pleasant surprise for sure as it looked like a bust last night. Certainly not as widespread as was forecasted as fortunately for us the band basically setup over rt 222 from lancaster to allentown. .
Well, surprisingly I got 1.26” of rain in the early morning (5 mi sw of allentown.) I am over 4” for the month. I feel good with rain heading in this next heatwave. .
0.46 here in Macungie area and will probably top off at around 0.50 - 0.60 based on radar. Rumbles of thunder in the distance but no wind or craziness. Nice soaking rain for the garden. Looks like points south and east will be next. .
I am utterly shocked how much we got in this region from kutztown to macungie and emmaus. I am upset I slept through it. I got pics from a friend in Bethlehem 20 minutes away - may be 5” there at most and 12”+ here.
32.2 F / 21 dew and cloudy near Allentown. It will be powder here. It will be interesting to see how intact the precip shield is as it crosses the mountains. I am cautiously optimistic for 3-4” .
Seriously, I had a similar conversation today with someone on the same subject . The sun this afternoon felt like March/April today. I never used a coat this afternoon in the sun as it felt so warm at 38 degrees.
These storms always produce winners and losers! That sucks. I go crazy missing out on these winter storms (nailed this one though.). I also hate missing a severe thunderstorm! .
Moderate snow up here near Allentown - 31.2 on my weather station with calm winds. Eyeballing at least 4” on the deck, possibly more. Leaving for work soon so I will find out soon! .
It really does feel warm up here. 41.5 f and dew of 33.2f (near Allentown.) It may be the rare significant accumulation when the air temp is 33-34 F. .
Steady but light snow up here in Lehigh County - 23.1 F. Just slightly more than a coating thus far. I am thinking we stay at the low end of the nws forecast range. .
Yeah, this is a bad bust. It’ll be interesting to see how far north th mixing progresses. Based on what we’ve seen thus far, I would say the southern Poconos are in trouble as well. Maybe it makes it as far north as Mount Pocono. .
