Lady Di Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Picked up my happy pills last night. Seems I will need them being stuck in these clouds with showers for days and days. Helene looking like a very impactful storm for many. .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As is the case with upper level lows, the forecast for the extended is a bit tricky. The upper level low that will eventually absorb Hurricane Helene will be positioned somewhere over the Ohio River or Tennessee River Valley on Sunday with the region positioned on the northeast quadrant of the closed low. This looks to bring some unsettled weather, but no day will be a washout. We look to be in for more days of clouds with periods of on and off showers until the upper level low moves offshore or transitions to more of an open wave. This looks to occur sometime Monday or Tuesday, though we will not kick the clouds/showers until midweek, with guidance hinting at a cold front coming through and a pattern change (finally).

Lady Di Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 DP 66. Yuck. I couldn't open my front door to get outside this morning, went out the back door after I turned the AC on to run on low temp. Yuck, but glad I don't live down south right now. Those poor people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Well, we all complained about how dry it was just a week ago. We just didn’t think the streak would break by not being able to see the sun for an entire week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Up to 0.65” for the week. Most likely weenie hallucinations but the lawn looks ever so slightly greener…or maybe it’s just ever so slightly less brown. 68F/DP 67F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 one inch of rain while good for the grass and stop the browning process, is not recharging the ground water tables or stream flows. They continue to drop and rapidly. How do I know this for a fact? Another serious sinkhole opened up last night in Catasaqua just like I called over three weeks ago. The sinkhole formation will get much worse over the course of the next several months as the groundwater tables fall. Watch what happens if get 5 inches of rain, then they will open up even more as the sinkhole cavities erode quickly from closed depressions and voids filling up with water again. https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/lehigh-county/northern-lehigh-county/large-sinkhole-in-catasauqua-nearly-swallows-van/article_7654eda4-7da2-11ef-957b-7b91b426a602.html#tncms-source=More-from-newsroom-(right-column) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Got a fair amount of sun here after 2 pm. Unusual! Was finally about dry enough to mow - didn't finish, grass is tall and thick! Damp in spots too. When I finished just now I felt a drop of something hit my head, thought it might be bird poop. But it was a large rain drop! Got about 20 more drops after that. It's headed north too, so heads up! Probably about 10 times the diameter of all those light rain and drizzle drops we've been getting for the last week or month, lol.

ChescoWx Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Below are the all-time October Monthly records for Chester County. The Phoenixville 2007 temp looks about 3 degrees higher than all other stations....will look into that. So who remembers our Record October Snowstorm back in 2011? With 4" to 9" of snow across the County...with the most falling in the higher elevations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 GFS .10" through the 384hr run. With my measurements that would be 1.50" in two months, jaw dropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
