You are a trained NWS spotter, right?

Just making sure as I do not think we got a call from you, and happened to grab your report from here.

Ugh, that sucks.

[tombo82685]

looks like their is some kind of convergence from west chester to doylestown.

[Maximum lawman]

Yup. finally looks like the BM is getting some much needed precip.

[ParanormalWx]

The line of storms is about 20 mins away from me and it's moving fast, luckly.

[Quakertown needs snow]

.50"

[Voyager]

That line wasn't much here. Just a quick 10 minute shower.

[Grothar]

If you have the knowledge like you say you do, you would of saw that your area was going to get some good rain today; instead of posting that you have given up on rains and don't believe in mt holly rain chances.

Tombo, I will keep my mouth shut now since I stirred up the pot. I apologize to those forecasters In Mt. Holly who may have taken this the wrong way. With 100% chance of rain being predicted this morning, I could not resist the temptation for a joke. I took the approach that if I give on the thunderstorms maybe we can just get rain. Its like washing your car and then it finally rains. It has been a very long time since I have seen those high probability chances for precip in our area. We only received two inches of rain, not the 6 inches in Northampton County. More is on the way however so flooding is a real possibility for Lehigh County

[LMolineuxLM1]

Grother how about this buddy. I have the sun shining and have not had rain since last week and that was the first time in a long time also. So with the sun shining i hope you enjoyed your rain.

[Parsley]

What's going on here, based on the current radar, everyone is SE PA is going to see rain by midnight.

I think this subforum needs a family vacation.

all im trying to say is if you don't think its going to thunderstorm just give an analysis thats what this weather forum is for to give obs and analysis. Even if colin was posting here i wouldn't mind his negativity as long as he provides reason to why he thinks it won't happen.

[Quakertown needs snow]

1hr. rainfall

[Parsley]

I had 0.30" in the past hour here.

0.57" since noon.

[eastonwx]

Grothar- You should be elated that you got 2 inches of rain. That is a substantial daily amount. The 6" received in Walnutport is truly an anomaly, and the 2-3 inches received in the Easton-Forks Twp.-Lower Mt. Bethel area is more than I expected, and nothing to sneeze at anyone's location.

[JTA66]

That rain band has set up right over my house ... very much welcomed!

[Quakertown needs snow]

getting ready for more incoming

[tombo82685]

where's Cast4 at, wayne is getting pummeled.

[tombo82685]

[Parsley]

Damn. Big difference.

Yup, we had 0.3 for the day before this cell blew up over head, got another inch since then. A few rumbles of thunder, no wind, just torrential rain, which I will gladly take. It should be raining pretty hard where you are now though, isn't it?
