Today after a low of 70, I managed to cash in on the overnight thunder-bumper to get 0.47" of rain (had hit about the limit before needing to hand-water out there, although the temps the past week were thankfully not the mid-upper 90s, so that helped stretch it). Currently partly sunny, 86 and tropical, with dp 76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Family members garden looks like the apocalypse hit it lol, worst tomatoes I have ever seen. That's what happens when most of the summer rains fell twice all summer here with the first two weeks of July and four days in early August.

I have a "Fourth of July" tomato that I had picked up on a whim back in May and it finally set its first tomato a couple weeks ago. It had been too warm at night when it finally started flowering, to actually pollinate (forget during the day with the temps). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you got tomatoes that you can say were the worst you ever seen. We got not one tomato not a one! I only had three plants though. (We had them in buckets not sure that is the way to go??) Early on in late June there was a tomato about the size of a golf ball but it was all brown on the bottom. We did get one green pepper!

Strangely however peppers have done ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is some impressive rain north of New York City Heading northeast slowly. Looks like we have some action too coming in from the west and southwest. Definitely some sort of a boundary NYC to Allentown down to Lancaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This training line is hugging rt 22..I'm by the mall and it will pour for 15..20 mins..then line will bounce north for like 10 mins..then back south.

RedSky Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 5" radar estimates north side of I78 near Fogelsville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 7 minutes ago, RedSky said: 5" radar estimates north side of I78 near Fogelsville Yep, areas to my immediate northwest getting hammered right now- around Kuhnsville to South Whitehall township. I have received about .75 in of rain from various intense but short in duration downpours throughout the day. The saving grace- the sun popped out right after noon and the air became quickly unstabilized. First time in months this has happened. It was refreshing seeing towering cumulonimbus clouds forming all around me with the sun still out. The street dry out, then it rains and the streets steam up. The convective portion of this event has been nice for a change too- again all because the sun came out right at noon instead of right before sunset. This is how summer should be, not cloudy all day with smoke haze hot sticky and no rain in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVLion77 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Just checked multiple PWS along 22 from Fogelsville to Bethlehem, and all of them in the 3-4 inch range.Like others here, I missed it by a few miles as well. I was scraped a few times by that lone and got some tropical downpours earlier that did not last too long. Cannot complain to be at nearly 5 1/2” month to date. After tomorrow, there is little rain in the extended forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 .01" for the night. What a lovely time watching all of these storms blow up all around me. Looks like I'll be watering the garden again tomorrow. What a joke the forecast turned out to be this weekend. Hope somebody cashed in at least. It wasn't us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
