blackngoldrules Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Parts maybe. Not here. Heard a little thunder, and got a little shower, but that was all. I don't know what part of Beaver County you're at, but I noticed storms moving through southern Beaver and Butler earlier. Maybe you were on the northern fringe of those storms? I saw a very brief shower earlier today but nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hopewell. A few miles from where Beaver and Allegheny meet. There was a nice looking cell passing north of me at the time. Looking now at that line out in Ohio. Just got off the phone with Mrs. Digger up in Youngstown, and she's dealing with some Level 6s up there. When I suggested they'd die out before getting here, she said she thinks they're building... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the latest HRRR precip model the line weakens just as it moves into our area around 11:00 to midnight. We still will get some heavier downpours but the thunderstorms are weakening except for Butler County and Northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started to pour here just after midnight. I had 2.18 inches of rain before it ended around 11 this morning. We had hardly any lightning and thunder last night. It looks like it all stayed Northwest of me. My sister said the lightning was bad in Wexford around 10:30 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolling Snowed Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I ended up with 1.05" at home and we received 1.91" here at the office in Bridgeville....one last broken line with the front over the next hour may add a few hundredths to the coffers...impressive amounts of 2"+ for Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler counties...been awhile since the majority of the region has seen a widespread rainfall like this.

north pgh Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 I got hammered yesterday around 1:25. Estimated winds of over 60mph and had trees and power lines down in my neighborhood. I had no power until 1:30 this afternoon. I had to clean out the refrigerator and toss most of the food today. I love thunderstorms but what I went through was why I hate severe storms.

north pgh Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I ended May with 4.47 inches of rain. 3.43 of it came in two days, 2.28 on May 8th and 1.15 on May 29th. I had 12 straight dry days leading up to Memorial day weekend with actually started to brown the grass in places. Waiting for thunderstorms this afternoon. Hopefully nothing too severe. I cannot afford another power outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
