Weather radar observations will indicate these amounts, and provide a "big picture" view of the situation. Precipitation amounts can vary widely across a forecast area. Weather radar can be used for hydrological applications, and helps with flood forecasting and water management.
A government agency, such as the National Weather Service in the U.S., for example, uses weather radar to provide weather information and warnings to the public. The most common application for weather radar is to monitor weather conditions, nationally and locally. “It shows the stunt of achieving at least 80 each day of July and August even in the mid-South is tough.”Ĭape Hatteras and Anderson, S.C., have had 80-degree days since July 1, he said.Weather radar is an integral part of modern weather observation systems and supports operations of national meteorological institutes. “Farther south, Georgetown, Richmond, Norfolk, Elizabeth City (NC), Raleigh, Fayette, Charlotte, Greensboro/Spartanburg, and even Columbia, S.C., had one or two misses,” he said. Stoudt, who is also a retired meteorologist, checked other sites for streaks of 80-degree days and found none as long as Reading’s as far south as Washington. But I would be skeptical of the reliability that far ahead.” AW (AccuWeather) long range still has at least 80 the following week. Risk of not reaching 80 the rest of rest week is quite low. Then it will be a matter of the sun breaking through versus remaining overcast the rest of the day. We could actually get a substantial slug of rain early Monday morning. Stoudt, Berks weather historian and founder of the Berks Area Rainfall Networks, said this: “That slight risk of staying below 80 on Monday is still on. The Reading and Philly airports are consistently the hot spots in the region.Īt Reading Regional, the streak of days of at least 80 degrees has reached 57, chasing the record of 61 from the summer of 2016. It appears that thunderstorms have been fond of Chester County the past two months. Philadelphia overall is well below normal, worse than the airport.Ĭhester County is the only county in the eastern two-thirds of the state showing any kind of surplus of rainfall, though it is small. All the data is analyzed by a hydrologist. The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, calculates county averages based on the airfields and other quality-controlled gauges. There have been many promising forecasts for rain since July 1 but few spots have received heavy hits from thunderstorms. If this trend continues, and assuming these amounts don`t arrive in a one- to two-hour window, this should be below any thresholds for flash flooding.” …Nonetheless, model amounts are generally between 0.5 and 1.5 inches through this whole period.
It doesn`t appear to be a really soaking rain. The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, N.J., which oversees the region, threw a little water on that rosy outlook on Saturday morning: “At this point, while it does appear likely we will see widespread rain for a portion of this period. Overall, for Sunday and Monday, AccuWeather is expecting up to 2 inches of rain, a little less here and a little more there.
