PennMan Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 43° with drizzle currently in State College....miserable. Another batch of heavier rain is on the doorstep. I'm hoping we can get some decent sun tomorrow as temps warm up briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 When did the PACNW relocate to PA? I mean wow. Predicting the weather around here is becoming about as easy as doing it for say, San Diego... just with rain instead of sunshine. What a miserable weather pattern.

What a miserable weather pattern. Agreed. I can barely remember any nice days this Spring so far. We're currently running 4.00"+ above normal with precip YTD. We should have a little over 9.00", but we're right around 13.30"-13.40" I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a miserable weather pattern. Any thoughts on when we might get 3 days or so of dry weather? Also, what a horrible Good Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at home in Lebanon County we should be around 9-10" so far, and by tomorrow will likely be over 16" for the year...blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea this is honestly pretty much the wettest pattern I've ever seen as far as I can remember, which isn't too far back being 25 haha. But still, I haven't really tried diving into any hard numbers at the climo sites yet but I'd have to think this could easily end up being the wettest April on record in parts of PA. Just came upon a source saying Williamsport's monthly record rainfall was 7.01" so they're already close. To answer your question Jamie, it looks like the models are trying to squeeze a run from either mon-wed or tue-thur in a dry, warm regime before a system later that week. Before then though.. ugh. Thursday and/or Friday maybe ok this week.. we'll see. This wet pattern appears to continue for the most part in the models. With the temps below average in the northern tier of the US and early summer busting into the deep south states, we're unfortunately stuck in the middle of a major gradient causing all this really wet weather. It may be a couple weeks or so before we break into a much drier pattern as the seasonal northward movement of the jet eventually gets further north and takes us more out of the crosshairs of being drilled with rain 5/7 days a week. Later this spring might get interesting as far as a major severe weather event or two if the pattern continues to be active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May might have a few, like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Wow, compared to earlier this morning say 4AM, the radar has really dried out. Had a few plain thunderstorms come through around 430AM and brought just over half an inch of rain, no big deal really. I wondering if the sun can peak through the cloud cover in a couple hours to possibly get some heating going before the cold front pushes by.

sauss06 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks like we should be ok for practice 330-530 today. It seems the chances of severe weather have diminished. Am i seeing that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it only would stay par or increase with the sun coming out. HRRR starting to hone in on a line developing across the valley later this evening.

This has been showing up for a few runs now on the euro and nam, and now the gfs: With 850s and 6hr precip: This could get ugly on Friday. The Laurels northward could be in for a few inches of wet snow above 1800', and a cold rain/snow mix elsewhere. That high in new england is impressive.
