Recommended Posts

So far today we have picked up as much as 0.26" of rain at West Chester with lesser amounts across Southern Chester County. Here in East Nantmeal we have received 0.21" of rain. Rain will continue this morning with a chance of some heavier showers as a cold front crosses from west to east this PM. Rain should end by late afternoon. We will turn cooler tomorrow with temperatures not too far from average levels in the lower 60's. We then see a nice warm up through midweek with highs well into the 70's by Tuesday. Rain chances increase again by Thursday night.

Ahhhhh my sinuses. First morning this week where I haven’t had to pop an allergy pill to get through the day. This rain was so badly needed.

I still look stoned 80% of the time from itchy eyes.

69F/DP 65F

Radar, kinda meh, sun poking through. A good pop up thunder boomer world help...

A disappointing 0.24” of rain and 3.51” for month to date. Was hoping for 0.75”+. It is starting to look the dry pattern is reasserting itself as the precip chances over the next 2 weeks are declining.

Surely we can do better than 30mph winds tomorrow were no slackers in that department

 

Pretty sure I hit some 25 to 30 mph gust this evening and it's still gusty now. Them there gust don't disappoint. Curtain blowing stuff if you leave them windows open I'll tell ya...

Had a ripping gust that moved deck furniture

40mph minimum more like 50 to do that

 

35+ constant winds like this are really drying out the underbrush big time again. Had only .20 at my house.  As tree leaf out continues in huge strides in  the next few weeks, no rain means that some streams and surface ponds will be dry by mid-May in our area as any ground water is literally vacuumed out of the soil horizons from no rain and leaf out.  Then you will hear the people talk in the media about how this drought never really went away in late March  and still exists when their favorite fishing spot goes dry and private wells have to be re-drilled deeper.

I see no substantial Gulf moisture influence with 80 degree temps in the next two weeks in our area for heavy rainfall to be forecasted (over an inch).  This spells real trouble for us.  THIS VERY PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN JUST WILL NOT STOP. Cold fronts continue to stall out in the midwest and mid south every 2-3 days, dumping copious amounts of rain with thunderstorms  and then for some stupid  reason race across PA in 24 hours with continuing dying t - storms, with moisture availability gone in  a stable air mass, no convective issues and the precip becomes sparse with light showers/drizzle. But the real big issue are the winds behind these fronts being  absolutely crazy like tonight. I have had nearly 50 mph wind gusts.  Guess will have to wait for Memorial Day weekend to be rained out, as we usually get a stalled out  storm pattern to develop by this time.

With yesterday's 0.38" of rain we are now doing quite well vs. normal rainfall. Since February 1st we have recorded 10.36" of rain here in East Nantmeal this is 94% of our normal rainfall. YTD rain is at 79% of normal. After a seasonably cool day today we start a nice warmup with temps in the 70's through the upcoming work week. Our next chance of rain is Thursday night. We look to turn much cooler by next weekend.
