RedSky Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My flood senses are tingling for folks over on the PA side N&W of Philly and regions already hit hard the last month. Radar has that look of training nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the animated radar on my GRLevel3, that southernmost blob has been slowly pivoting and is moving from SW --> NE. Since about 5 am, it has moved from Lancaster County into western Chester County. We may be getting slammed with it later this morning if it holds together and keeps moving without stalling. As a sidenote, I ended up getting 0.11" of rain total yesterday, a couple hundredths more since my last precip post yesterday. Current temp is 74 and it's overcast.

It's almost a carbon copy of July's firehose. the same areas keep getting it over and over again. Me? I end up on the fringe. Just enough rain to make it miserable, but not enough to make it interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just got into the solid reds on the radar here, and yeah it's coming down pretty good, about 0.90" in 20 minutes. Some thunder and lightning to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Well over 1.50" of rain has fallen here in NW Chester County in East Nantmeal Twp during the past hour....heavy rain and some thunder continues...flooding is and no doubt will continue to occur across the area...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Looks like that is pivoting this way. It has been raining lightly the past 20 minutes or so (finally tipped the bucket for 0.01") and just heard some thunder a couple minutes ago. Looks like that means business!

I know what you word you WANTED to say but obviously can't on this forum. There were reports of well over 3.5" of rain in Lancaster County this morning so it is definitely concerning - especially for the flashier creeks around this area.

KamuSnow Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 2.0" here, with the back end of that tail starting to swing through. Probably the heaviest dump we've had here with all the rain over the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Rain intensity has really picked up here now as the eastern side of it is moving in. Getting almost 1" hour rates so far and at 0.20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line looks to be breaking up a bit as it moves into the city but will see what I end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I haven't posted here much summer cause nothing has warranted me to. However, the flooding today in and around Berks County is incredible. Ponds and streams everywhere overflowing their banks and now making new streams and ponds. In other news, Joe Bastardi is calling for an epic winter. Already getting his unbearable and unneeded hype up for the winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
