  1. Over an inch in the last 30 mins and still pouring. Up to 5.1" on the event now. My guess is we are seeing flash flooding in the area but not venturing outside to find out.
  2. Thankfully we've missed a lot of the heaviest rain so no flooding in my area but still up to 2.8" on the day. Areas just 5 -10 miles away though like Fairless Hills are almost double that.
  3. Thankfully nothing doing here. Scary few minutes though, wish I could explain how the sky looked, just very ominous and black with clear rotation in the clouds.
  4. On a side note, the Delaware is now forecasted to crest just below moderate flood stage in Trenton and moderate at Washington crossing. Will be something to watch as this morning it was forecasted to only reach action stage.
  5. Steady rain for the last hour. About .5" in addition to the .5" this morning brings us up to an inch. We ll see if that heavy stuff works it's way east or just trains to the west.
  6. No offense, but can you read? Please quote me where I said it has diminished for all of SE PA? I specifically said the 95 corridor. 1-2" of rain over 3 hours isn't going to cause widespread flash flooding. I posted the HREF maps above, the heaviest rates at 1 hour, 3 hours, and 6 hours are all N and W of the 95 corridor.
  7. Latest HREF also following other guidance showing the heaviest rates will be N and W of 95. The flash flooding threat has significantly decreased this morning for the 95 corridor.
  8. HREF tor threat is very impressive around 00z tonight. SE PA and central/south NJ have sig tor means between 3 and 4+. Very impressive for this area:
  9. I will add that the risk of Delaware River flooding has increased with this shift north. If large area's of NE PA and NW NJ receive 4-8" of rain, the river will most likely go above flood stage even if area's further south only see an inch of rain. Right now the forecast is only for the river to hit action stage but I don't think it was based on those area's further upstream receiving that much rain.
