MAG5035 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Got back home from the beach very early this morning to a balmy 52ºF. Couple of the early turning trees are already starting to show a couple patches of color and/or losing leaves. Falls closing in quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 ^ No EDIT: I can't say 'no' enough. Yeah, after last years tornado, then Hurricane Irene and the flooding, and the loss of power, calm would be OK in my area. I'll just wait for the snow... and that thing has a loooooooooong way to go before there is any good guess's.. but yeah, i agree........NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We've got a ways to go before we know if Isaac will have an major, minor, or non influence on our weather in PA. Yea we def have a while yet before we'll be able to confidently forecast what impacts (if any) Isaac will have on the US. But it does appear to be the first legitimate long tracking storm of the year so it will have to be watched closely by everyone with coastal interests for the next several days. Isaac is already still at a relatively low latitude for how far west it is, so I would be leaning toward someone in the US dealing with this storm down the road over a curvature back out to sea. Current forecasts generally track Isaac over Hispaniola and/or Cuba..eventually tracking into/near Florida and into the southeast. If that occurs it will obviously significantly stunt the potential development of this system and make for more of a tropical storm/minimal hurricane type deal. However, a track that ends up further south would invite less land influence and a potential stronger Gulf threat. A track that jogs further north would also lessen time over land bringing it out into the Bahamas and perhaps eventually making an East Coast/Carolinas threat.

I really hope we get some rain from it (not looking very likely unfortunately). We've quietly become fairly dry around here and the extended doesn't look real promising.

Yeah, not getting much...not totally dry but below normal. UNV is at 1.86, MBY is at 1.67. Doubt we get the normal of 3.55 by end of month.

Try to get in touch with Joe Murgo, hes the chief there and a psu grad. Teaches meteo at altoona and comes up to main every once in a while. A few of us are up at the AMS conference in Boston and had a good talk with him yesterday.... He does a lot of work for the AMS and has a lot of good contacts, which would be great even if you don't want to do broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazelton WTAJ and WJAC are usually the best stations for our area and both are represented in our C-PA thread with JSTWX (WJAC) and PSU8315 (WTAJ).

WTAJ can be a bit more conservative. FOX is basically WJAC's crew, I believe. I have to say, and I hope mets from those stations here see this, one of the things I was a bit concerned about when I first moved here was lack of decent local TV weather. You guys have gone above my expectations and I think we are fortunate to have two solid crews. That's not true in every small DMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 How close was that tornado to you, eastern? In other news, we got some beneficial rains Sunday and Monday - I got a total of 1.29, much more than I expected. I guess the jury is still out on whether we get anything rain from Isaac.
