Itstrainingtime

.05" of rain overnight/this morning. Meh.

Wunderground stations near you would support that, a lot of them around .3" give or take. Interestingly, the stations down here recorded a bit less despite being further south. I finished with .21" at home so your area was a nice little jack today.

Rain continues - up to .2" at home for the day and .3" for the past 2 days. Should eek out several more hundredths of an inch.

Already have added .12" of new rainfall this morning.

Yes, and that text was why I responded to @candersonthe way that I did. The text specifically mentions that the storm in progress was severe.

There was definitely a Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued. I saw it on CTPs site, WGAL, scrolling on my FIFA game I was watching, etc. Here's the text: The National Weather Service in State College PA has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... East central Lancaster County in south central Pennsylvania... * Until 445 PM EDT. * At 421 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Gap, moving east at 25 mph. HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees. * Locations impacted include... New Holland, Gap, Churchtown, Intercourse, Blue Ball, Goodville, and White Horse. Radar has indicated rotation within this severe thunderstorm. Although a tornado is not immediately likely, tornadoes can develop quickly during severe thunderstorms. This includes The Pennsylvania Turnpike from mile markers 293 to 295. Stay inside a well built structure and keep away from windows. Very heavy rainfall is occurring with this severe thunderstorm, and may lead to flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Issued by NWS State College PA for Lancaster County.

I want to publicly pop back to say that you were correct. While most of the eastern half of Lanco was under a warning yesterday afternoon, there were no confirmed severe reports according to the SPC storm map. I apologize for questioning you. I saw the warning and thought that severe weather was underway. The storm sure looked gnarly on radar.

.10" of rain yesterday. Nothing at home when I left for work, steady rain falling here in Conestoga.

Really? Huge storm that spawned a TOR warning in Chester County formed right over Lancaster city.

Multiple severe reports in Lanco...

SPC has upgraded much of the LSV south and east of 81 to a SLGT tomorrow. And this one looks like it has legs in regards to potential spinners.

What makes you say that? WPC precip map is weighted heavily to our NE with the heaviest rainfall.

My yard has turned brown quickly over the past couple of days.

Next week the amount of daylight starts to dwindle. The countdown to winter commences!

He is VERY good if not a little over the top arrogant. You know, we've had 3 separate severe threats over the past week - last Friday, Sunday, and tomorrow. SPC was gung ho on Friday and tomorrow and not so much on Sunday's threat. Elliott was completely out for last Friday which ended up being a total non-event, he was in on Sunday which ended up producing a Tornado in Lancaster county, and he's been out for tomorrow since last weekend even as SPC had us in a rare 6 day outlook. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet but over the past week he seems to be outperforming the big boys at SPC.

I wanted to make sure that you saw this: (same cell you were watching in York County) https://www.wgal.com/article/pa-ef-1-tornado-confirmed-lancaster-county-nws/71603879

I will add that even though he expects absolutely zero severe weather, he is anticipating a very windy Thursday PM with gusts to 40mph without storms.

MU gettin' feisty... MU Weather Center The SPC has placed us under a "slight risk" for #severewx on Thurs, but I strongly disagree. The setup is basically a "rinse and repeat" of last Friday. Strong, WSW flow will cause a "downsloping" effect off the Apps, & leftover convection moves through during the morning hours.

That's a superb basketball hoop you have there!

Thank you for sharing that. Kyle Elliott at MU is very unimpressed with this Thursday's setup, he believes that both the timing of the pre-frontal trough as well as westerly downsloping winds will lead to a "very marginal" severe threat. Right now he's leaning for showers with an imbedded rumble of thunder. I'm on his train for now for sure!

I have exactly that amount here. Tornado Warning in the southern part of the county but really just a couple of good showers here, thankfully.

NAM had very scattered activity during the late afternoon and evening followed by a squall line around midnight that was weakening by that point. I want rain but not the severe.

I've been posting far less than usual. Different reasons but I understand why you did what you did.

From what I read on CTP's discussion this morning, an extremely rare day 6 outlook for central PA next Thursday.

Well, if loving when it's below zero with a 25 mph wind makes me mentally ill, I'm the poster child. This weather can go to hell. It already feels like it.
