canderson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 No idea what is around since we have no radar, but I just heard one if the loudest claps of thunder in my life. And it was a good 5 seconds after the lightning. Sounded like a bomb. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was a good 5 seconds after the lightning. Sounded like a bomb. Weird. The radar out of the DC area is not to bad for southcentral PA. It did rain a bit here this evening, but still not enough to completely wet under the trees. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard92 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 WGAL radar is up and running as usual. It has a great resolution for the Lower Susquehanna Valley and quite reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Oh yeah! I have that app. We'bpve had some pretty good t-storms roll through in the past 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...where is all this rain??? lol Radar's pretty active over the Great Lakes. Most of the rain isn't supposed to come until later tonight into Friday night.

hckyplayer8 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Absolutely crushed her in Lebanon. Willing to bet we've gotten at least a half inch in the past half hour. Just heavy, heavy rain. Little bit of lightening and thunder but no wind. Had a heckuva time controlling the firebird on 22 because of all the ponding water in the groove.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My brother says back home received close to an inch of rain, will have to get the official amount later. Hopefully more is to come overnight and into tomorrow. Would be nice to curb those drought numbers approaching from western PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not sure what FF watches are out for...models look dry, and radar has very little on it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just spoke with my sister. She had 1" in her gauge from last nights dowmpour. But she said didn't make much sense because the other day they recorded over 2" and that didn't have the impact on their pond and pool like last night, so she isn't sure how accurate that 1" is.

Billabong Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Only measured 0.68" for the 12z obs in State College... kind of disappointing. Very nice! Is this from the Walker roof? Yep... Walker is pretty much my second first home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The 1.4" predicted rain today might be jussssssssst a bit overdone, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The 1.4" predicted rain today might be jussssssssst a bit overdone, methinks. It's beginning to look that way. As mentioned GFS/ Nam models precipitation has dropped some. NWS has changed from heavy rain to - New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

canderson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It actually hasn't rained at my house since that storm last night around 9 p.m. Kinda crazy actually given the forecast so far. I expect we'll get hit this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have to say, if we don't get rain tomorrow and Friday, that's on helluva epic model bust. Have you looked at the NAM/GFS/Euro? All showing around an inch or so (or more depending on the run). The SREF about the same. We miss that and it would be like a forecast of a foot of snow and we get flurries. Good call Jamie!!

Eskimo Joe Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Anybody see the clusterf*ck ongoing just to the west in Pittsburgh / Allegheny County? Numerous swift water rescues ongoing, roads flooded out, streams flooding. Wonder if this translates east into the Laurels later this evening.

Numerous swift water rescues ongoing, roads flooded out, streams flooding. Wonder if this translates east into the Laurels later this evening. Live audio: http://www.radiorefe...udio/?ctid=2242 That's pretty crazy, I expect that PBZ will be issuing another warning to the south of the current one as there is some very heavy rains training in far southern Allegheny and another area of torrential rain in the region where Fayette,Allegheny, and Westmoreland intersect. Will have to see how things translate into the central counties this evening. CTP took out watches in the Sus Valley, kept the central ones and expanded west to include the Laurels counties. Seems like the best chance for issues is going to be in the mountainous areas of Somerset and southern Cambria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yup Jamie's NAM nailed it perfectly. Everything has a lovely green color to it again. How about the chilly temps? High of 70 set early this morning and we have since dipped into the mid 60's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
