I just drove through that coming back from Philly. There was some street flooding on South Atherton; I saw one car stuck in the right lane with at least 6" of water.

That's near my house and floods frequently. PSU reporting 3.42" total yesterday... which added over 20% to our total precip on the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Forecast high for Tamaqua was 91 today, and already I'm sitting at 96. Lots of sunshine and limited cloud cover (up to this point) may have allowed for the additional heating today. I only wish the hygrometer on my station worked properly so I knew what the actual heat index was. Going by other local locations where dewpoints are running close to 80 degrees, a heat index of around 110 is quite possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Still holding at 95 so probably the 96 will be my high for the day. It's still mostly sunny here though. I thought it would have been cloudier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's not Tamaqua that kills storms. It's me... I'm down here in Bethlehem at Musikfest, and a solid line of severe storms was heading right for us. At the last minute, it did the Tamaqua Split and went north and south of us...

Voyager Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 OK, quick question. How many of you have me on ignore since I'm a warm weather lover and most of you love winter, snow, and cold?

Lately nothing I post seems to be of interest to garnish a reply, let alone initiate some sort of discussion. Summer's tough. Especially this year when there hasn't been any widespread high impact events for our region. It's been a really boring summer. Hot, humid, and dry isn't fun most.... Don't take it personally The first tastes of fall may be on their way according to CTP By sunday, cold front pushes through bringing likely pops and beginnings of a period of cooler temps and lower humidity.

Anduril Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looks like the local NWS office put out a pretty strongly worded possibility for tomorrow from Harrisburg North about 60+ mph winds and hail. Anyone see anything potential wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah, I don't think HBG itself gets into anything too severe but if you're around State College and eastward keep an eye toward the sky in the mid to late afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
