  1. I got 23" from that bad boy, and yet, much less than many others.
  2. Low of 69 with .01" from a tiny little storm that rolled through yesterday afternoon. I wasn't home but my wife said it dumped for about one minute and then abruptly ended. She would know about such things @canderson it appears Debby may throw a wrench into your hottest August of all-time plans. It actually had me checking the record books for lowest max temps later in the week. I believe Wed - Fri were all 68, probably a bridge too far. Things could go in all types of directions with this storm but it appears we should be in for some bountiful rains at some point. Hope the flooding isn't too bad down south. The dreaded pink dot has appeared on the WPC map that @Itstrainingtime posted. Busy week ahead.
  3. Yeah these storms look really impressive for this early and like you said aren’t budging. A flash flood warning for central Cumberland Co.
  4. A tiny unexpected little shower just rolled through here. Good omen for later ha.
  5. Low of 72 with .18” of rainfall. Today could potentially be the real deal for much of the forum. Could be.
  6. And yet the Mount Joy Snowman himself got a grand total of 0.0" yesterday and less than two tenths from today's line. To be fair, I don't live as close to The Joy as I used to and in fact now have a Lancaster address, but I'll be damned if I'm changing my screen name ha. Really, the entire reason for this post was just so I could refer to myself in third person haha. Carry on.
  7. Sure does. We always seem to have our worst flooding episodes when tropical remnants interact with stalled out frontal boundaries. Lee in 2011 really stands out.
  8. Welcome to my every-morning routine for the last 18 years. Well, since Covid we are only back in the office two days a week, so not quite every morning anymore. Side note, a 2" difference between MDT and CXY in rainfall yesterday. Sheesh.
  9. Ah my mistake. For some reason I thought you were going to OBX and were leaving earlier in the week. In that case, I think you'll be mostly fine.
  10. @Bubbler86 Seems to be some pretty big differences in your OBX storm for next week, with the CMC moving it through rather quickly and the GFS/Euro being damn near week-ruiners. Either way, moisture is a comin' for the east coast.
  11. Low of only 74 and 0.0” of rain yesterday. Yuck. You can just tell it’s going to be stifling today. Hopefully some widespread storms accompany the humidity later this afternoon.
  12. I got nary a drop out of all this haha. In any case, impressed by the extent of the storms today.
  13. That cell really blew up, possible hail core with 40,000' cloud tops. I just missed out on being clipped by it but it darkened up pretty good.
  14. Low of 69 and .03” from yesterday morning’s showers. Dog days of summer ahead.
  15. It is correct that MU compares its temps to its entire period of record, while NWS compares against the most recent 30-year period, hence MU always having higher AN departures.
  16. Bold sir, bold. The first week or so will certainly get you off on the right track. After that, we'll have to see how pronounced and prolonged the eastern troughing is that is currently being depicted on some of the long-range modeling. But yeah, overall, HOT seems like a safe bet.
  17. Yesterday was the rare day where every ASOS/AWOS station in the Commonwealth topped out in the 80s. Nobody above 89; no one below 80. Neat.
  18. Driving into Harrisburg today with a buddy and currently going through some nice moderate to heavy showers just beyond Etown.
  19. Low of 71 with .13” of rainfall. Happy to see some big winners in our forum. Got to see the rare sight of a rainbow while looking west this morning, due to the approaching showers from the west and the illumination from the rising sun in the east. Good stuff.
  20. Rain has commenced here. Nothing crazy but sounds lovely hitting the house.
  21. Not sure if 42 is considered young around these parts but yeah, I've never heard of that one. Learn something new every day! Is this like a step-sibling of Arby's or something like that?
