Quoting shipweather: This weather is very strange, Ship's rain gauge shows .06 when here in Kutztown (or Bethlehem where I am at work now) we've gotten way more than that in the last 30 mins alone. Also these showers (as is common in the summer time) very much depend on where you're located). It was amazing to watch them form right over Harrisburg and just head east. Ship got nothing! Here in the LH Valley most places have near an inch some WELL MORE. Also, I was thinking this year has been a crazy weather year. Blizz what is your high and low for the year so far? I remember first few weeks of Jan how cold it was and last week we had 100's! Crazy weather year..... Not too cold this year compared to my negative reading last year, but it was 9F with a high this year of 101F. Member Since: December 14, 2007 Posts: 253 Comments: 14295

Shoot, no 100 degree temp swing! I'm trying to find a gauge or a public info statement with rainfall amounts in the Berks County/Lehigh Valley Area. Member Since: December 15, 2007 Posts: 19 Comments: 946

It's raining heavily here :) :) Has been coming down for about an hour as the strongest storms came right on top of us. This is beautiful :) It's interesting the first heavy rain in over a month decided to fall just as I'm about to fly...headed to the airport...now.

Well here's a tiny storm. It rained for about 5-10 minutes and nothing too noteworthy. The only thing is, my rain guage didn't pick it up. The gauge is located in the backyard, but oddly enough, it didn't rain at all in the backyard. Member Since: August 28, 2008 Posts: 79 Comments: 2350

Another round came by. 1.70" for the day so far. The nearest NWS station near me, Trenton, which is actualy in the suburb of Ewing, had a low of 13F and a high of 104F. The 96-year average annual maximum temperature at Trenton is 97F. 13F is really not that cold though considering that the Trenton 116-year (winter records extend 10 years longer than summer records) average annual minimum temperature is 3F. Actually, 13F is tied for the 5th warmest annual minimum temperature. Also, Trenton averaged 1.7 days per year below zero through 1994, which was the last year the temperature fell below zero. 16 years ago. Snowfall in this region this year was obviously way off the charts though... Member Since: December 17, 2009 Posts: 0 Comments: 796

Quoting TheRasberryPatch: how much longer of this weather pattern Blizz? i am so ready for hot and sunny again. did you see how much rain i have gotten the past week? that is a lot for a month. This rainy pattern looks to continue... 6z GFS total QPF for the next 16 days is 3.20in for KMDT. More slow moving fronts with training convection look likely.

Finally got a good soaker yesterday evening! In fact it prompted a flash flood warning, obviously due to the heavy rain plus it was training roughly over the same areas... Weird that it doesn't really rain for weeks then all of a sudden we've got flooding issues =p Member Since: May 20, 2010 Posts: 10 Comments: 128

267. TheRasberryPatch 4:12 PM GMT on July 14, 2010

Going a new route for my new blog debuting tonight. It will save me a bit of time from now on, but hopefully provide more information and less repetition. Be sure to let me know your thoughts this evening. Member Since: December 14, 2007 Posts: 253 Comments: 14295

Had about 7.25" of rain here since Saturday. Also a tornado was reported nearby which was a surprise. 07/14/2010 0400 am New Tripoli, Lehigh County. Tornado, reported by NWS employee. EF-0 tornado confirmed with maximum winds of 80 mph in Lynn township. Path length was 3 miles and maximum width was 150 yards. No injuries reported. Property damage reported, including damage to several houses due to many fallen trees. On the Lynn Acres farm, the roof of the barn was peeled back.

Spring Lake As of this morning we still had the short end. Amounts vary from 0.3 " in Point to +/- 0.2" here and less than a 0.1" in Bradley. Just enough to shut the sprinklers off. Hey who needs water at the shore Member Since: February 27, 2009 Posts: 0 Comments: 1887
