Voyager Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 I scored big time. Got 3.65" here in Tamaqua. Icing on the cake is that it hit just as I finished my work shift and got in the Jeep, so on a personal level, I stayed dry! Here's proof if anyone doubts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 A rainy start here today. I did notice the forecasted high last night was 90. It is now 87. I'm sure the lighters an hour up the road are thrilled.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Low of 71 with .13” of rainfall. Happy to see some big winners in our forum. Got to see the rare sight of a rainbow while looking west this morning, due to the approaching showers from the west and the illumination from the rising sun in the east. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted July 31, 2024 Author Share Posted July 31, 2024 Seen got .61 at home. Nice thunderstorm out over the ocean this morning. Always nice watching a thunderstorm out over the ocean especially at night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Low of 65 and no additional rain last night here. Finishing up the one of the least warm second half of July's (here at least) since I have moved back. Won't call it cool but not hot either. 2021 was cooler.

Voyager Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 Thing with the rain last night was that I didn't see the heaviest of it. I was coming up from Allentown and was seeing lightning to my northwest. I then got to our fuel location, which is 10 miles south of Tamaqua, and still dry. Checked my station while fueling, and I had about 1.25". Got to our shop which is southeast of Tamaqua, parked the truck, did paperwork, and felt the first drops while walking to the Jeep. Drove home in a few downpours, but missed the brunt of it as the super heavy stuff trained right through Tamaqua. Areas near my work location didn't get half what I got at home.

Jns2183 Posted July 31, 2024 Share Posted July 31, 2024 I can take solace in that I personally broke the record for driest July ever at 0.71". If we actually get moisture in August I'm sure @canderson and I will eventually get smoked.

Expand My rain gauge stopped working while I was in Arizona last summer (2023), and my wife couldn't go out and troubleshoot it, so it waited until I came home. What I found was that the tipper was stuck in the tipped position, so it wasn't reading any rain. I fixed that as soon as I got home, but my yearly totals are skewed now because of it. I wish I knew how much we got for the YTD. I know that there were some big events this spring while I was still out west, so I may be close to that number myself.

The first week or so will certainly get you off on the right track. After that, we'll have to see how pronounced and prolonged the eastern troughing is that is currently being depicted on some of the long-range modeling. But yeah, overall, HOT seems like a safe bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
