The Bushkill Creek up here was over its banks near Bushkill Park this morning. Kissing the bridge as well.

The Little Lehigh has flooded and closed Spring Creek Rd four of the last six days. The Creek is about 20 feet from my back door. The flood debris is unbelievable with many tree limbs from Irene to the floatables blown from the recycling buckets. City of Allentown's sewer system and water system really taking a hit especially when you cannot drink water from a sewer system that sometimes overflows. Ground water table being so high will help aid in sinkhole formation in our area in the next six months with the supersaturated soils.

The simulated radar from 24-36hrs basically has the firehose over us

No,not 32.9', but it's already projected close to 25' and with that train just destroying both east and west branches up north as well I would not be surprised if it got close to or surpassed 2nd place all time, which is 27.9" from the 1930's. We may get close to the 15" that Agnes rained down though.

Check out the WV loop, it's pretty cool to see the outflow from Katia beginning to interact with the trough, you can see how the dry slot made it up to central NJ and then got shunted eastward, right near where the boundry has been thus far between moderate and excessive rainfall

As someone mentioned in the NYC subforum, until the 500mb ridge breaks down later tonight as modeled, the QPF axis is going to have a difficult time making any eastward progress, the 500mb flow has taken on a bit of a negative tilt

you might see everything start to pivot, with the southern flank of the precip making more eastward progress while the northern part stays stationary, giving it a se to nw orientation.

I think you mean when the Ridging breaks down, you WILL See an EASTward component to the rain shield.

yes, I'm a tad worried about a "firehose" type feature swinging through, similar to what happened with Irene, but the SPC WRF does not bring the QPF axis much further east then the DE river, instead it forecasts initiation right along the Jersey shore and then its game on from there for KPHL and points east.

I have been told by others that I am crazy about this storm being like Agnes- no supporting documentation? Sorry Just kidding keep on reporting my good man
