| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The combination of the remnants of Tropical Storm Ernnesto and a large high pressure system over eastern Canada produced heavy rain and winds over the Lehigh Valley. Rain moved into the area during the afternoon on the 1st and did not exit until the early evening on the 2nd. The heaviest rain fell during the daytime hours on the 2nd. Storm totals averaged one to two inches. The heavy rain produced poor drainage flooding. In addition to the heavy rain, persistent east to northeast winds caused tree damage as the heavy rain loosened the root support and weighed down limbs. The strongest winds occurred early on the 2nd. About 60,000 homes and businesses lost power in the Lehigh Valley, most had powered restored by the evening of the 2nd. Actual storm totals included 1.86 inches at both the Lehigh Valley international Airport (Lehigh County) and Walnutport (Northampton County) and 1.67 inches in Slatington (Lehigh County). The peak wind gust at the Lehigh Valley International Airport was 33 mph.The low pressure system that was Ernesto moved slowly north from around Petersburg, Virginia at 5 p.m. EDT on the 1st, to near Fredericksburg, Virginia at 11 p.m. EDT on the 1st, passed close to Washington D.C. at 5 a.m. EDT on the 2nd, near Hagerstown, Maryland at 8 a.m. EDT on the 2nd, near Altoona, Pennsylvania at 2 p.m. EDT on the 2nd and accelerated northward and was just southeast of Buffalo, New York at 2 a.m. EDT on the 3rd. Of greater importance, was a strong high pressure system (greater than 1032 millibars) that remained over southeastern Canada and maintained the pressure gradient (difference) between it and the remnant low of Ernesto. |
