It won't be epic, but at least some interesting weather. Up here, it's been painful to watch, perhaps moreso than a winter snowstorm because this isn't supposed to happen in the middle of summer. The last few radar loops actually show moderate to heavy rain forming over central and western Schuylkill County, and moving west AWAY from Tamaqua. I swear, I've said it many times over the past few years, but where I live has to be one of the "suckiest" locations in central and eastern PA for a weather enthusiast...

Hey you have an extended cab truck - you can drive with a bed to a storm..;) I watch all your videos - what do you typically haul? Always been curious.

Always been curious. If I could, I would, but it's a company truck... I haul corrugated sheets to box manufacturers, and occasionally, like today, giant rolls of paper that we use to make the corrugated sheets. By tomorrow morning, I'll have today's video up, and I show a little bit of the rolls toward the end before I delivered them. They are 112" high and are floor to ceiling in a drop-deck van trailer.

Good deal. You had a bit of job juggling there for a while but seems like you've settled into a nice role, plus home every night. Can't hardly beat that!

Blizzard of 93 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This radar would be great to see in about 5 months (my apologies to Voyager & Williamsport !) This week we mercifully flip to our last month of met summer. I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with my least favorite season. It will soon be time for winter previews from all of our favorite mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiier04 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Fascinating system for mid-summer. Can't remember anything too much like this in all the years I've been following the weather here. Nothing extreme, at least out this way, but radar really looks like the classic winter setup with the dryslot and deform band with storms training west.

pawatch Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Definitely a crazy storm to watch. It got all the way up to us, then started retracting and heading west. Last week we picked up about 3.00" of rain in a 24 hr period. Also been having some thunderstorms popping up and dumping about 0.30" at a time.

You could see it starting to take place before it actually happened. I mentioned it in an earlier post last night. It was then that I knew we were done.

canderson Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 .7" here in midtown hbg. Sun out now but it feels so nice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 1.6" here. I was surprised by the amount and intensity of the lightning and thunder last night. Rogue showers are popping up now across central Lanco, just to my south and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Full on, 100% sunshine here in Tamaqua. The wife has the laundry hanging out, and as a psoriasis sufferer, I was able to lay out and get some good "medicine". UV and Vitamin D are good remedies for mild psoriasis.

Itstrainingtime Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Heat is much easier to take in August. 90 degree days are the worst in May...you think, "3 months from now it will be August, and still 90." Now, 3 months gets us to November. While we wait for cooler weather, Mammoth Mountain will be closing for the winter ski season this coming Sunday. Skiers out there don't have a long off season of waiting, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Got .40" in Tamaqua as the storms formed nearly overhead, then moved east and strengthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 with all that rain Harrisburg had the other day, my house hardly had any. Canderson can hit my house with a baseball, they had flooding we had a few puddles at best. Heavy rain again now, just like the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We just got caught in a rainstorm I've never ever seen here. Erford Road in Lemoyne washed out at the dip, we had to turn around in our Rav4. The bottleneck was underwater so had to turn around and take Market back to 11/15 to cross the Harvey Taylor. Both left/right lanes of Front are impassable as only the middle lane isn't flooded out. That's the worst flash flooding I've seen since moving here in 2006.

Voyager Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 And here we got sandwiched by two storm complexes so far today. The first one fringed me to the south and east. I got a whole one one hundredth of an inch out of that one. The second one an hour later missed me to the west and north outright. Didn't see a drop of rain out of that one. Now I see a nice line out west of the Susquehanna. I wonder if that MIGHT have chace at holding together. It's been quite a frustrating summer for the severe storm lover...
