Storms to the west and east, and now this evening's festivities are mostly east. Whatever manages to get close fizzles out. Just take a look at CTP's map. The warnings are up in Berks, Lehigh, Carbon, and Luzerne. An almost complete wrap around of Schuylkill and Tamaqua. See. You can't make this stuff up...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I don't often post at 2:50am but enough is enough! I am getting constant flash flood warning alerts on my phone and the rain is relentless. It has been almost a constant deluge since about 8pm last evening and I fear what is happening in low-lying areas around me. Should be interesting to see the gauge come sunrise...

Jns2183 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Capital City Airport (KCXY) & Harrisburg International Airport (KMDT) are only about 5.36 miles apart as a crow flies. KCXY is roughly 5.2 miles north and 1.3 miles west of KMDT. I bring this up due to the YTD rainfall of each. As of AUG 9th KCXY was at 34.98” and KMDT was at 40.72”. I thought that was a decent difference (5.74” & 16.4% > KCXY). I pull up 2017 rainfall for the same dates. KCXY was at 23.00” and KMDT was at 32.02”. Nothing like a 12.02” difference (52.3% > KCXY). Now that difference did close some through the rest of the year (see below). For curiosity sake I went through the last 15 years of data as shown below. Who knew that 5 miles could mean an extra 4”(11.1% >)(median) - 6.5”(17.6% >)(mean) of rain a year. My favorite is 2011, 73.73” vs 51.28”. Any Mets want to jump in with some reasons for this little microclimate quark?. Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 July redux... The Susquehanna Valley is getting it once again this morning, while areas to the east of I-81 get fringed. If I took a radar image from the last week of July, this morning's radar would look almost exactly the same.... Just an amazing, frustrating pattern...

canderson Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 So I've had .05” rain since midnight and in a FFW still and nothing really looks promising, everything is dying as it reaches the mountains and reforms in eastern Lancaster County it seems.
