CyphaPSU Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Any thoughts as to what phenomenon may have caused these waves on radar traveling across the Delaware Bay? They have since continued to cross over Delaware. They don’t seem quite like an outflow boundary or a sea breeze, am I wrong?

I have never been that sharp about them, so I would not take my post as the correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 It almost looks like that Southampton thunderstorm was one giant rock falling into a pond, all precip is spreading away from where it was, leaving us with a whopping 0.01" so far today.

Mysterious stuff, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbelke Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nice steady rain. Just got to .25" for the day, so far. That stuff coming out of Lancaster County is sliding East towards me. Hopefully it won't hang around long like it did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm know I'm small potatoes compared to others, but I just passed 9" for August, rolling toward 10. Raining hard, 1" for the day and climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafpsu Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 5.06” so far today in SW Berks County, Sinking Spring area. Most rain I’ve experienced in one day since moving to this house 6 years ago. No water problems for me, but detoured around many flooded roads on the way home. Pales in comparison to west/central Lancaster County right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
