The Iceman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 long range into next week doesn't look all that dry either. Maybe Monday will be nice. But tuesday and wednesday both look like washouts. then another break thursday and possibly friday, but by next weekend another system rolls in. In other words, don't look for a pattern change any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophisticated Skeptic Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Models seem to be under-predicting the tropical moisture so far. It should be dry as a bone now in SNJ and Delaware right now, and it isn’t . both NAM and GFS don’t have the next round starting till tomorrow morning.

ChescoWx Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 1.34" so far today here in East Nantmeal PA with 3.99" over the past 6 days - WXSIM shows another 2.50" by early Monday morning - our local farmers are mighty happy. Especially after so many of them told me they never saw a slower start to growing season in this area than this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually look at the Wissahickon @ the mouth of the Schuylkill and the Schuylkill @ Manayunk and by the falls/Waterworks, and they were just a couple feet below bankfull/overflow.

The Iceman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Could just be the nam but 6z keeps most of the precip to our south and west keeping most Se pa dry or relatively dry today and tonight. Guidance majorly backed off on a flood thread last night imo. Heaviest looks to stay south. Likely a period of rain tonight but the area has likely dodged a bullet with flooding.

The Iceman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 WPC cut QPF on their 3 day total for the weekend and this still looks overdone especially up north. Pretty significant short term modeling/forecasting bust incoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 ^ Works for me, parts of the yard are under water and the sump pumps have been running since yesterday. On a side note, one of my goals is not to run the AC before Memorial Day -- looking good so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 In the battle of the highs, one of them may have won out for a bit - sun has peaking through the clouds. Temp is 64. There has been a gusty SE wind much of the mid-morning but it seems to be going variable now so the stationary front may be wobbling. Had 0.01" of rain this morning, bringing the total to 3.2".
