I ended up with 1.71” last night in the heavy showers and t-storm band but the ABE airport only had 0.18”. That was a sharp cut off! The northern Lehigh Valley certainly has gotten screwed over the last couple weeks, but I feel fortunate to get in the action last night. Only 45F this morning with some drizzle.

1.35 here in LMT. First time since New Years day  that I have seen the Little Lehigh at bank-full and running muddy this morning. Not a good day to trout fish for sure. The headwaters of the Little Lehigh finally received some decent precip.  Put a real nice dent in the drought conditions for the entire watershed. Waiting for the snow and graupel  for tomorrow.

Yes, that was the most rain i had in several months. We were very fortunate to be in the that band. I was literally in the center of it and had prolonged heavy rain. That band did not quite make it north of the 22 corridor.

The precip was really  beneficial to the Little Lehigh Creek watershed. I just received my first USGS gauge flood alert on the Little Lehigh at RT 100 this year.  My personal alerts are calibrated to when the stream jumps out of it banks, which visibly it has. Once it gets to around 4.5 ft, Spring Creek Rd is completely underwater. The USGS staff from state college  and myself have successfully calibrated this new telemetry digital gauge over the last 2-3 years for issuance of flash/flood warnings in our area. Thats why I am called the drought guy.   LOL

Today will be our 7th straight day with measurable rain and tomorrow will make it 8 days. So far today we have received 0.07" of rain in EN. In addition to the showers, we will continue to turn colder with highs today close to 50 degrees a good 10 degrees below normal for today. This cold pattern looks like it will continue for at least the next week with the coldest day being Tuesday with high temperatures struggling to reach the mid 40's and a wind chill factor near freezing that afternoon. A freeze looks likely for most of the area on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

Unseasonably chilly week ahead for us with temperatures today through Wednesday remaining in the 40's for high temperatures. Today is our 8th straight day with measurable rain. We should see freezing low temperatures both tonight and tomorrow night. We dry out through Thursday before more rain arrives that night and into next weekend.

With all due respect…you are fugging insane.

Give me 70s and sunny. Not this garbage.

If only it would stay there. We'll have that for a short period then shoot right into the 80s-90s with insane dew points. Screw that! Give me today till Sept/Oct and totally skip late Spring/Summer.

39F/light rain Ahhh....beautiful.
