Great writeup, I have vivid memory of every route that I traveled that night (and the following day) only to come across flooded roadways. It took me just under 2 hours the next morning to make what is normally 20 minutes to get to work. I'll never forget Lee.
Yes, it does look like with the earlier timing it's getting captured and tugged west, which makes sense. A weaker AND slower storm will (should) track further east.
I've read a lot of opinions on Henri from mets to weenies, all saying that a stronger storm will mean a west track, a weaker storm will be further east. Models today are insistent on a farther west track but are depicting a weaker storm despite that.
15.11" to be exact in my gauge from Lee. Wednesday was my birthday, went out for dinner with my wife and didn't make it home that night. I had 10.62" fell here on that day.
Mmmm, this is such a loaded comment that could spark a very longwinded and probably not asked for response. Let's just say that yes, you are right, and yes, we're probably thinking a lot of the same things...
I hadn't heard that. I'm shocked at learning this. Here I thought he was on track as a model citizen and inspiration for tomorrow's football legends.
That could not have been said more sarcastically.
Picked up an even .10" of rain overnight - the MJ Snowman rules supreme!
Congrats to the M/D line gang for your bonafide rain event - nice to see areas where it was needed most jackpot.
2 kernels of popcorn to note - there are showers near and east of Dillsburg and just west of Pillow. Both locations have been consistently scoring the past several weeks.
I thought my area maximized on that line that went through - I only had rain for 30 minutes and got over the 2" mark during that time. The southern half to 2/3rds of the county got into an additional band that came out of Maryland and kept the rain cranking for a few hours, hence the super lofty totals.
You did very well and I'm thrilled for you. Regardless of timing in regards to yards and vegetation, this is still water in the ground table. That's a plus.
Just back from dinner out - received 2.01" of rain in 30 minutes, 2.54" for the day, 2.80" of rain since yesterday. No to little wind, some lightning and thunder. Big news here very clearly was the water...that's a lot of rain in 30 minutes.
