Quakertown needs snow Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Another round coming. Hopefully not as bad as last round and less for areas that don't need it. Enjoy the A+ Day today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I don't mind some rain in Spring Mount (total rain for Saturday through Tuesday was maybe 1.5 inches), but the places that picked up 4 to 11 inches of rain in that period could use a few weeks of dry weather.

Does this storm have that kind of potential? I sure hope not. I can handle another inch, but I'd hate to see S Jersey get another 4 inches.

Looks like this one would be 0.5" to at most 1.5" of rain throughout the area, so not nearly as bad as the last one. But even 1" would be very unwelcome to places that suffered severe flooding recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly afternoon AFD says a Flash Flood Watch was considered for Friday and Friday night, but they held off for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even 1" would be very unwelcome to places that suffered severe flooding recently. Even 1 inch would be really bad down this way, the water is just going to immediately run right off. Not a good situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Morning storms alone is a bonus, if you ask me! 0.11" overnight. Now those areas flooded in S. Jerz don't need any of this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a little over .5" in Spring Mount this morning...probably close to 7" of rain in Spring Mount in the past 3 weeks (I know a couple of storms in that time frame hit your area pretty hard, while Spring Mount was on the fringe and got much less rain).

Yeah, the cutoff in some of these events have been amazing. One storm last week dropped 1-2" of rain in Royersford and Collegeville and next to nothing here and up your way. Other than that, I've lucked out quite a bit as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott W Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 1.70" at home in West Chester this morning. Great storm, except for it's timing...5:50am!?!?!! Couple close strikes even had the normally ignorant dog jumping on the bed for comfort. High wind gust was 19mph. A MESOSCALE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING ACROSSTHE LOWER DELAWARE VALLEY AND INTO SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEYAT MID MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY WAS FAIRLY REPRESENTED BY THE 12ZWEDNESDAY MODELS...ALTHOUGH THEY HAD ACTIVITY SLIGHTLY FURTHERNORTH...BUT KUDOS TO THEM. THE CURRENT ACTIVITY IS FORECAST TOWANE AS IT MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH MIDDAY AS THE ASSOCIATED FORCINGWEAKENS. HOWEVER...MORE ACTIVITY SHOULD INITIATE DUE TO DIURNALFORCING THIS AFTERNOON. Could be a repeat tomorrow morning with an approaching short wave. Better get to bed early tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
