Itstrainingtime

Rain here is a nice light to moderate rate, really the perfect soaker. Now at .63"

Oh I wasn't complaining, just amazed at the huge disparity over a relatively short distance. I've still received nearly 2" for the weekend with more to come so all is well with me.

Crazy - my total is .47"

Any model updates or thoughts on heavy rain tomorrow?

Let's try not to forget that. I take my mowing seriously! LOL

ITT got 'er done! Mark me down for #8!

Final data from storm #1: Rainfall yesterday was 1.32" Rainfall since midnight is .09" Total rainfall for storm #1 was 1.41"

1.22" at 10:25pm. Temp is 48.

Up to 1.05" of rain approaching 9pm.

Very good point. It is very windy - wind is often overforecasted but not this time.

Exactly. Temp was 56 here at midnight and is down to 47 now. Up to .87" of rain for the day.

.32" here still dry.

Dry slot. Rain has stopped at least temporarily. Temp is 50.

Okay...I'll bite. Why did you pick a church camp parking lot to get...you know... Was it a heavenly experience?

That's a Franklin Flusher.

SPC isn't buying it yet...

I think that's it. Whatever it is, there are often contradictions between the maps they publish and their actual forecasts.

My daughter and I were looking at the Phillies promotional schedule as she wants us to go this summer. (she prefers Philly over Baltimore, but I digress) We were looking at an afternoon game and she says "dad, you can go out on the field after the game!" - I looked at the promotion and it's "Seniors Stroll The Bases" event. That shit makes me feel...well, old.

Yeah, but I can rock an 8 Track better than you, my friend!

After some sprinkles over the past hour, rain has just now arrived and made the pavement and sidewalks cave under wetness.

The beginning of my senior year.

I do not personally like to be critical of CTP and have defended them numerous times over the years...but this simple post of yours sort of sparked 2 issues that I have with them: 1. There are often discrepancies between their forecasts and their maps. This is the map they posted publicly yesterday morning: Clearly, they anticipated rain to be into the greater Harrisburg area by midday. If that's the case then their forecast should match it. And this map was the inspiration behind my 11:07:32 post that I made about when I thought rain would arrive in Maytown. LOL 2. My second thing is this - have you or anyone else noticed the "bizarre" wording in some of their forecasts? For example, last week there was a day when my forecast was this: "A chance of showers after 1pm, then showers and thunderstorms after 3pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 4pm, then showers after 5pm, then a chance of showers after 8pm." That's a lot to digest, but can someone tell me what is the difference between saying that there will be showers, and then showers are likely? Doesn't likely mean that essentially...there will be showers? To me, that's just too much information. We've already come to the conclusion that the majority of the public is lost when it comes to weather...a forecast like the one I just referenced doesn't help any, I think.

Radar looks great- rain should be arriving here between 9 and 10am it looks like. Bring it!

Thank you! He included that map but I had trouble attaching it.
