Grothar Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 You're not going to let up on him... we get it, he tried to make a call, it was wrong. He took his beating... 2.35 inches so far with more on the way. Training heavy rain with monsoon type conditions. Yes I took my beating but I got up and said we were in for a monsoon. yesterday. I still am hoping no tropical systems come our way any time soon. A stalled out front in the eastern gulf spells trouble this time of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDoppler Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Wow Eastern Berks is getting pounded, no gauge but we have to be pushing 3-4" for today! (countless downpours all evening.) Pouring again like crazy as I type. (EDIT: I ment estimated event total including what is about to fall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely stating a fact. I live near Grothar. I have observed that since the summer of 99', it seems to be that everytime we almost get into a "drought", not only is the deficit erased almost immediately, but we end up going to the other extreme within a few months of worrying about a drought. This is for my location in particular anyway....in 2001 we had training T-storms one day that dropped about 6" so we weren't as dry here as many other locations in this area. After tonights rain, I would welcome another dry spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I can agree with!! Unfortunately, I couldn't tell if you your tone was being mean-spiritied or not. I DIDN'T think you were that type of person but it seemed persistent. No offense.

I do not mind- I made a call and I am glad I was wrong. I did not expect the torrential downpours the last few weeks but we needed it.

No problem...he was very persistent for months saying drought drought...and you can recall the post where i said to him the data he presents is true. But in weather you can't tell what will happen 3 days from now yet alone 2 months from now. Hence, the last 3 weeks in your location where you have been dumped on.

I just find it funny the past 3 weeks your area has been one of the hardest hit after what you were saying in the spring. No problem- I am just here to learn too. The rain is persistent tonight - one more good batch and it should be over. Should end up between 3 and 4 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Buckets of rain pouring over Allentown right now with gusty winds. Crazy weather the last 2 weeks. I was in Trexlertown around 11:00PM and it was more like water tankers than buckets. I'm not sure I'd ever seen it rain so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Come out of the Regal in KOP (avengers was awesome) And its pouring get to the car drive a half mile west rain completely stops, get back on 76E to 476S and blinding rain 0 visibility at one point....get to west chester pike spitting.

NeffsvilleWx Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 lanco co has been ground zero for the hvy rains multiple locations over the 2 inch mark closing in on 3. 2.63" according to my station, 3.03" according to GR3 storm total data IMBY. What's interesting is that you can clearly see the path of the warned cell (via storm total precip) that crossed the mason dixon line, headed through shrewsbury in york (where a spotter called in a funnel) and proceeded NW through the middle of lanco. I recorded a max of 1.97"/hr from that cell, and observed pea size hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I had 2.65" here in my backyard. Looking at the trajectory of that cell you mentioned, while we didn't have anything resembling a "storm" here, the residual moisture headed right into Schuylkill County. Interestingly enough, being a truck driver and running 3 rounds from Hazleton to Allentown, I missed the heaviest rain in my own backyard, but got pwned when I was in Allentown/Trexlertown at 11:00PM last night.

snowlurker Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Based upon the nearest weather station, between last night and this morning, we only received about 0.3" of rain in Middletown, DE. Very, very strange. I'm going to call it the C&D Canal effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I was in Trexlertown around 11:00PM and it was more like water tankers than buckets. I'm not sure I'd ever seen it rain so hard. Around that time, a rain gauge two miles from there recorded 5"/hr rates momentarily. That gauge, which is only 1.5 miles from Grothar, received 2.6" total for the evening and overnight.

phlwx Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 So much for South Jersey and Delaware getting much of anything last night...they made up for Grothar's ark-busting rains. Rainfall amounts: Philly 0.77" (for comparison's sake), Mount Holly 0.23", Millville 0.09", AC 0.45", Wilmington 0.45". One inch plus crowd were the suburban counties north/west on west and north of there. Mount Pocono got 2.23" and Lancaster was 2.68" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whisper of thunder, nor a flash of lightning for us last night in jerz. Just some breezy rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 1.08" with run of mill thunder/lightning here in NW Chesco. Ground is just about perfect wetness for garden. No standing water, but good and wet. Time to cage 80 peppers & tomatoes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
