Voyager Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 72 degrees this morning in Tamaqua. It's not too often that the overnight lows don't at least drop into the 60's here...even in the hottest heatwaves. Even when we topped 100 two summers ago, we got down into the upper 60's each night.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 In State College for the weekend. Got a good glimpse from Lemont of one of those storms cells to the west around dusk tonight. Some nice cloud-to-cloud flashes. I think it may have been the warned cell out by DuBois. Don't remember too many setups like this when I was in school here allowing for good viewing of storm structure at such a distance. Usually it's squall lines where blow-off turns the sky overcast well ahead of any storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aratonolme Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm not sure where this question should go so I'll ask here. Former WGAL meteorologist Drew Anderson left his t.v. gig to work off air or so I thought. Now I see him working for the local Fox affiliate. Did his off air gig go belly up or did he go from WGAL straight to WPMT or was this a fill in job because of the July 4th week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 what did we see in Altoona/Holidaysburg so far? And how bad you getting it in the Centre Region as well as Lewistown/Huntington/Chambersburg? interesting squall-line/expanding bow propogating east and northeastwards here.

Winds not overly impressive. ok, good to know. looks like the southern end's been gusted out in the southern mountains. but that cluster from Millersburg to Lock Haven is holding up. it'll be interesting to see how well it holds up as it moves towards Sunbury/WIllamsport, then to Dushore/Berwick/Bloomsburg/Hazleton/Pottsville.

Voyager Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A lot of times they break up as they approach the Tamaquya/Hazleton area. I'll let you know what happens after they pass us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My digital rain gauge is showing 1.22" which isn't real accurate in downpours. "Still raining"Will check the manual gauge after it is done. Edit: temp went from 90 to 69. Edit: 1.18" in the manual gauge from the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Appearances are deceiving. I looked like we were about to get rocked per this image, but it rolled through with no lightning at all, minimal winds, and so far only 0.11" in the gauge. Per radar it looks like the line broke apart as it was heading toward the I-81 corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 MDT reported just over .75" in just 20 minutes with a 47 mph gust from the storm that passed through between 1:30-2pm I was walking from El Sol to my office at Front and Locust during that. With no umbrella because it was completely sunny when I left and I didn't realize it could rain this soon. Needless to say I'm dripping wet.

sauss06 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 some severe flooding around Pittsburgh area this morning... and this may be only first of a couple waves of showers/storms over next 24 hours... Looks like they reduced our threat for strong storms later. West of us however is still in the threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West of us however is still in the threat. it doesnt look like the storms with the severe potential will move this far east until well after sunset so that is probably what will end the sever threat this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That portion of the line rolling through Clearfield County (specifically north central portion) def looks like it means business. CTP mentioned on Facebook that trees/powerlines being reported down in western Clearfield County. Additionally, that bowed out section that roared through Pittsburgh and is now diving into SW and far southern PA looks like it continues to have straight line wind damage potential as well.
