Snow began near 11 AM and became heavy and mixed with sleet at times till 3 PM, after which sleet, freezing rain, and plain rain became progressively dominant until late evening lull. Rain, sleet and snow after midnight ended predawn. This snow melted on impact except in the gauge funnels. Almost all of the daytime snow accumulated between 12 PM and 3 PM, including nearly half of it during the 1 PM hour. Some of this snow was "hard and noisy" on impact, evidence of partial melting and refreezing aloft, while snow otherwise is soft and quiet. Core sample during late evening yielded 1.01 and included absorbed rain and was only slightly more than the actual gauge catch of 0.99. Despite some additional snow overnight, pack depth decreased from 5" at midnight to 3" at 7 AM. |

Thunderstorms from near sunset till 1 AM brought torrents of rain at times, mostly 8:45 PM to 9:25 PM, and a little small hail. The lightning show was more prolific than any of the many TSTMs last year with continuous vivid lightning and rolling, and at times, booming thunder, especially dusk till 9:30 PM, but some other times too. The electronic weather station here suffered an hour-long outage early in the storm, resulting in a much-too-low rainfall display online. CoCoRaHS gauge measurement indicated the missing rainfall at 1.09. Flooding was minor here, but moderate (not quite unusual) to N to NE, as near as 1.5 miles. |

Morning and afternoon brought only 0.01 here and no heavy rain nearby. Heavy shower with minimal thunder developed to SW and moved over this location early in 7 PM hour (0.48). At that same time, an "innocuous" looking on radar area of showers near Harrisburg drifted slowly east and "exploded" into a thunderstorm complex of torrential rains over eastern Lebanon County after dusk and eventually overspread most of Berks County toward midnight and afterward. This location was deluged with 3.0", accompanied by frequent vivid lightning, within 60-minute period ending 12:55 AM EDT for the "whale's share" of the 3.64 calendar day (EST) total. Intensities exceeded 6"/hr at times. Additional thunderstorm downpours at times of shorter duration afterward till dawn brought an additional 1.03. For those who monitor this station online might have noticed an approx half-hour outage, which began when a flash-bang lightning bolt struck within 100 feet and when the high-intensity rain was just beginning. The missing amount during said outage, based on complete 4"-diameter double-cylinder measurements computed to 1.75. UPDATE of original report submitted 8:28 AM: Selected "Severe Flooding" category after learning of Storm Report to NWS of 6 feet of water and rescues in lowest building of Cambridge Commons apartments, located 1 mile ENE of here. This flooding would have been from the Little Wyomissing Creek, which is normally a tiny brook that trickles by and drains areas 1 to 2 miles to the west. This Storm Report describes a flood crest which exceeded the crest of 31 August 2018. |

Submitted 8:07 AM: Observed few drops early afternoon. Thundershower in vicinity during 6 PM hour brought torrential downpour of which this spot was on the southern edge, resulting in off-and-on torrents of 4 to 7 inches per hour during the 10-minute period beginning 6:20 PM. The sun was visible, though obscured, during the downpours. Rapid clearing followed with impressive Cb to E-NE at 7 PM. Amount of 0.43 does not include 0.01 of dew this morning. Update 8:35 AM: I consulted with observer at Reading 2.3 NW and was able to verify the reported 1.67 really did occur. This station was in just the right spot to capture a highly localized cloudburst. |
