MAG5035 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Looks like a light shower fell here at some point this afternoon. Basically the first rainfall of any amount here since September 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 A bit of a sluggish start to things early this morning but a nice rainfall now ongoing. It's actually been quite heavy at times the last hour. Overall, this should hopefully help the worst parts of central PA in terms of the D2 drought bullseye that has popped up in the last couple weeks. 13 hours ago, canderson said: Our beloved radar is back online. Finally, Historic CCX has returned just in time for this rain today. Same can't be said for LWX radar which could be out through October 16th now. Good thing such an extended outage didn't happen in the dead of winter for the Mid-Atlantic gang with a big snow event coming in or during a more active time of the year for severe weather. Quote KLWX WSR-88D radar is out of service until on or about October 16. UPDATE 3 Sept 29th 2:50 P.M The KLWX (Sterling, VA) WSR-88D outage, which began on September 20, 2020, will continue and remain out of service until on or about October 16, 2020. On Saturday, technicians from the NWS Radar Operations Center (ROC), based in Norman, Oklahoma, determined that a primary component for turning the radar antenna, the bull-gear, needs replacement. This repair will require 12,000 to 15,000 pounds of equipment and a six-person team from the ROC to restore the radar. At this time, the team anticipates repairs being completed on or about October 16, 2020. During the downtime, adjacent supporting NWS radars include: Dover DE (KDOX), Mt. Holly NJ (KDIX), Pittsburgh PA (KPBZ), State College PA (KCTP), Charleston WV (KRLX), Blacksburg VA (KFCX), and Wakefield VA (KAKQ). For a radar mosaic loop for the region: https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/northeast.php Further updates about the situation will be issued as information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding during this extended outage.

canderson Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I wish the NWS had the funding to offer temp radars available for positioning when one is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Had a few sprinkles around noon, but back to some peeks of sun now. It's a muggy 79 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think the line of showers has advanced about 10 miles to the east over the past 5 hours. At this rate, it will reach the river Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Been a classic mid-fall rainstorm day today around here, with periods of rain of varying intensity and cool temps in the low-mid 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should advance into the Sus Valley later on this evening and into the overnight hours, and it does appear there's also some stuff developing from the south starting to come up into York/Lancaster counties on TBWI radar.

Radar also looks much more impressive back in true central PA compared to earlier this afternoon. Looks like a good sleeping night ahead with the rain falling.

Voyager Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I got 1.11" out of the event. Now it's chilly and windy. As for the Jerry Springer Show....oops...I mean debate, I agree with shutting the mics off. They agreed to 2 minutes of uninterrupted time to answer questions and another 2 minutes for rebuttal. When one was speaking, the other mic should have been muted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to a certain point, but debates are debates.....It isn't a standard conversation and even in standard conversations people interrupt each other. Chris Wallace was terrible and should not have even been a moderator this year, time for him to retire. But anyways, back to the weather Fall like again for the next several days! October tomorrow, my birthday UGH. I'll be 25 or 52 not sure what yet. :-) Voyager I hope you are feeling better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
