MU still banging the snow drum for later today along with hail and graupel.

Current total for the week here is 4.22".

I’ve been so swamped this week I’ve not been able to pay any attention to weather but thought we were expected to get another 1” tmrw. 

I never saw anything close to that. I guess if you get under multiple cells you could pull it off.

They cut wayyyyy back on rain for Thursday here. Like it’s not going to rain hardly at all. My grid is now for less than .1”

Interesting- my grid never once had more than that for tomorrow. I commented on that yesterday.

3 consecutive days with >1" rainfall - pretty rare:

4/1: 1.03"

4/2: 1.51"

4/3: 1.55"

They're not.  I was just poking around WU and all the stations around me are pushing 4".  I'm stuck here in Harrisburg but will have an update later.  Potent event for much of the forum.

Thank you! I was hoping my data is accurate.

You start wondering out aloud that your amounts for rain my be inflated and some may start wondering if other reports are inflated...

MDT just cracked 3" for Mon-Wed at 3.04". 

See, sometimes I wonder if my amounts are too high. I'm at 4.01"

2.55" yesterday and today thru 2:20.

Assuming you had close to 1" on Monday you should be at least 3.5" this week.

You are going to have a shot to double me and that includes Saturday as to mine  Down here it has just been a normal rainy 5 days.  The local creek is up 1.5 feet but still 2 feet under minor flood. 

 

Radar looks meh now. Though...the best cell remaining to come up out of MD looks like it's targeting your area. 

Just surpassed the 4" mark this week.

Heavy thunderstorm in progress- lots of lightning and tremendous rain rates. Wow.

Angel?

Holy moly, a tropical-like deluge started here out of nowhere. Radar suggests some big totals incoming - I'm already at 1.31" for the day.

How much more rain will we receive the rest of the day?

Maybe 1 to 2"?

Below normal? I wish. Not so here.

It is in almost the entirety of the thread that you posted in, but you knew that.

As we round out the first quarter of 2024, I thought it might be a good time for a review of temperatures. Through the first quarter of 2024, it's been quite toasty in central Pennsylvania.

Williamsport: Third warmest start to the year [of 130 years], behind 2012 & 2023.

Harrisburg / Middletown: Sixth warmest start to the year [of 136 years], behind 2020, 2023, 1998, 2012 & 1990.

 

You probably shouldn't think so much. Just enjoy the BN temps today.

Some people may get more precip Thursday than they do today.   Those pop up showers mean business and could drop 1/2 to 1" if you catch several. 

Thursday is definitely a wild card - CTP says less than a tenth of an inch. I tend to agree with your assessment.

MU still hyping snow and graupel on Thursday - "funny things happen under upper level lows..."

You are going to pass my since Saturday total which is still at 2" after just drizzle for the past 5 hours, 

At this moment I'm at 1.36" for the day, 2.39" since yesterday and 2.61" including Saturday.

.30" in the past 15 minutes.

Thunder and heavy rain.
