Albedoman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 the drought guy here is drowning LMAO. 3.24 in of rain in the last 24-36 hours. Little Lehigh is flooding , Roads closed and farms fields underwater. Farmers say it will at least 2 weeks before they can get in the fields to plant. Its time for a good long warm dry spell. Since December, we have had nearly a years worth of precip (snow and rain) in Lehigh County already My thoughts-- eerily similar setup in this current weather pattern for continuing this wet spring and for an early tropical storm formation like Agnes in 72. A wet spring followed by an early tropical storm would be devastating for our area. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/06/19/hurricane-agnes-susquehanna-50years-storm/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Got an additional 0.22" last night to finish up with 1.75" for yesterday. And with another 0.24" earlier this morning, I so far have 3.07" for a 3-day event total. There is an odd yellow orb in the sky this morning, and after bottoming out at 38, it's currently partly sunny and 39 with dp 39. ETA - So far have 3.75" of rain for the month and the Wissahickon creek is pretty much lapping the banks and the Schuylkill @ PHL just barely missed flood stage (so far) but might still get there if the rain picks up again.

ChescoWx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 With the 0.11" that fell here in East Nantmeal since midnight we are now up to 4.01" of rain since the month began on Monday.

Heisy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Late last night driving home from work there was definitely some snow mixed in, or super cooled rain droplets. You could see the ice particles on the windshield when the droplets hit. Win I suppose? Lol. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a brief warm-up where I managed to hit 54 for a high just after 2 pm. I also got a brief shower to give me another 0.01" for 0.25" for the day (so far) and 3.08" over the 3 days. There's an incoming cluster of something so that might add to the total later tonight. Currently 44 with dp 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
