BBasile Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Another day with winds over 30 mph. 34 mph is the high so far. Temp down to 39.7F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Most of the area received between 0.60” to 0.80” of rain with Nottingham recording 0.80”. Here in East Nantmeal we received 0.66” of rain we are now near normal for March and up to 70% of normal rainfall for the year through yesterday. We are starting to make some nice progress to ease our local drought conditions. Chillier today a bit warmer tomorrow before we turn chillier on Sunday. Next solid rain chances look to arrive toward Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 On 3/19/2025 at 3:26 PM, Albedoman said: gfs shit the bed already. 2-3 feet of snow gone -----That model needs to be shelved until we have a better non-progressive weather pattern. The 30 mph+ Santa Ana type winds return on Friday immediately drying out any rain we get on Thursday. No water recharge into the ground except the first couple of inches of topsoil. Again, this .50 inch of rain is great for greening the yards and for spring bulbs but the groundwater table for water supply and base flows for the limestone streams are falling real quick as the trees start to bud. The leaves will start to open in 3-4 weeks and then we are in real trouble as the uptake of any residual moisture in the soil is gone. NOAA and PADEP must issue a drought emergency for the LV before the water authorities do it on their own with rationing. The weather discussion keeps saying beneficial rains are coming-- just like the 3 ft of snow on the GFS model but actually .25 to .50 in rains are not really beneficial when we have drying wind advisory events right behind the fronts. NJ is not the only area of the MT Holly region. The LV has not received a single 2 in rain event since August 18, 2024 and only a couple of single rainfall events barely over an inch since then . We are going on below normal precip for 9 months now. Folks, that is a hell of drought. The 2-3 inches of rain in NJ this past weekend killed the existing drought conditions along SE NJ with their sandy soils and above avg snowfall so far this year. Lets start hearing more about the million + people that live in the I-78 corridor and the daily brush fires in the weather discussions. Thanks This is all you need to know about how reliable NOAA is. The forecast called for heavy "La Nina" rains in the upper Ohio Valley. That didn't actually happen, but there was a miraculous 3 category drought improvement even though it the period from October 29 to the present has been much drier than normal. In fact, it was the driest on record [among years with complete data] at Wheeling, West Virginia. How does a drought improve by 3 categories during the driest stretch on record? I'm having trouble understanding how this is possible? October 29, 2024 March 18, 2025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble understanding how this is possible? October 29, 2024 March 18, 2025 Just to show I'm not cherrypicking... here is Zanesville, Ohio. 20th driest stretch on record [of 130 years]. However, 6 of the years above it are missing more than two weeks of data. Excluding those years as highly suspect, it's 14th of 124 years with sufficient data. Note a bunch of other years with more rainfall are also missing data, but we know those years had more rainfall even despite the missing data. How can this justify a 4, yes 4, category drought improvement? IMO, the weekly Palmer indices are the better measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Saturday at 02:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:30 PM Some scattered light showers today followed by a solid freeze tonight and below normal temperatures tomorrow with highs only in the 40's. There is the chance of some snow showers on Sunday night changing to rain showers on Monday. It is warmer to start the week with highs near 60 degrees but then fall to close to a little below normal for much of the upcoming work week. Normal highs this coming week are in the mid 50's.

Albedoman Posted Saturday at 08:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:23 PM Wopee drought getting worse. Less than a half of an inch all week. Fire conditions getting real bad with dry underbrush. When will padep noaa wake up? Extreme drought folks. By the way, i warned you about the sinkholes i-80 closed from sinkholes. Now i-287 has sinkholes. Drought monitor map is bs right now.

RedSky Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Winds are bullying the trash cans Earlier some freak wind gust slid a really heavy deck chair 20 feet into the railing.

Ralph Wiggum Posted Sunday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:54 PM This has been an odd March based on average. I don't think we've even seen a wet flake mixed in. Most years we at least see some white rain in March at some point. Buckling up for our BN April and May probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, this has been par for the course in the 2020s. PHL didn't have a trace of snow in March in 2020, 2021, and 2024. If this holds, it will be the 4th time in the first 6 years of this decade with no trace of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in East Nantmeal we have recorded snow in 14 of the last 21 months of March. We did receive 0.3" last year. As at PHL this will be the 4th year this decade with no measurable snow. The only back to back years since 2004 was 2020-2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Monday at 11:57 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:57 AM Rain so far overnight of 0.13” here in East Nantmeal. Some additional showers will continue this morning before sun returns this afternoon. Temperatures during the next couple of days will be a few degrees above normal for late March. A slight chance of rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning before we turn chillier on Thursday with high temperatures near 50 degrees. Mainly dry next weekend with temperatures at least a few days above normal (upper 50’s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure heavy duty thunderstorms, flood alert warnings, maybe Katrina like to follow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
