Northeastern PA in the thick of it right now. #ItsComing

Crazy. What site are you using for that data? Thanks in advance.

Fact check: True. However, we are the Alps when compared to the piedmont to our southeast.

Yep. Using the 'ol Peakbagger website were ya? That's one of my faves. Glad to see you studying those Lancaster County relief maps. We also have some higher terrain across the eastern part of the county near Welsh Mountain, much of the southern hills in Solanco school district, and the infamous Chickies Ridge near me and @Itstrainingtime But as you mentioned, the highest point is up in the Furnace Hills near where Lancaster, Berks, and Lebanon Counties all meet. If you knew how much time I've spent looking at terrain maps over the years you'd have me committed haha. What can I say, we all have our "thing".

This reminds me of an ex's father who used to always say "Chickies will break that up" about every storm that ever approached, as if Chickie hill is some massive mountain that looms over everything and disrupts all storm patterns haha.

Low of 51. Very curious to see how bad the smoke gets later this afternoon and evening. This is certainly an anomalous event for us.

Sheesh take that and run. We got .01” here, maybe.

A solid little downpour, gusty winds, and a few stout rumbles up here in Harrisburg. Looks like we are getting screwed back at home yet again.

What a great page topper!

It looks like most of the Meso's are on board with at least some level of storm activity this afternoon, albeit fairly spotty, with the 3km NAM being the most vigorous. @TheClimateChanger wasn't messing around with his smoke warnings for tomorrow. Check out the latest near-surface plume forecast for tomorrow evening on the 12z HRRR. Not great Bob, not great at all. Keep those windows closed tomorrow night.

Low of 53 at my house. Man, @canderson wasn't kidding about the damage in Harrisburg from that hail storm this past weekend. On my walk through the capital complex this morning there were tons of limbs and leaves down everywhere. Keeping fingers crossed for someone to get lucky with some storms this afternoon.

Mornin' weather freaks. I bottomed out at a crisp 48 last night. Also added .03" of liquid gold on Saturday to go with my .01" from Friday. Hey, it's the small victories. Another beautiful week on tap but not much in the way of rain. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe I missed it but I didn’t realize that Harrisburg actually tied its record high for yesterday at 96. Damn.

It sure did. I got nothing additional, finished with a total of .01”. If you would have went off of just the pretty radar colors being put out yesterday by the Dover radar you’d have thought I had a half inch plus. Very disappointing.

I can confirm actual rain fell from the sky in batch one, to the tune of .01”, perhaps .015” ha. First rainfall measurement from the new acurite station! Next batch looks more potent. We shall see.

Was just looking at that. There is another mini cluster out ahead of that more potent batch that is about to go right over me as well. Will keep yinz posted.

That cluster of showers went right over me earlier and I can confirm it only laid down a trace.

Well that prior post clearly did not go through as intended haha. Let’s try this again…..

Low of 51. Gorgeous day on tap. My driest month ever at .37" is officially in the books.

That is shocking but as Bubbler mentioned there has been quite the east/west component to the cool air lately. I saw a lot of places in Chester County yesterday topped out in the low 70s, whereas I hit 83. I did notice there was the normal elevation-dependent nature with the inversion last night, with the top of the ridge being a good ten degrees warmer than some of the low-lying rural spots. Obviously that doesn't factor in with you and I being at similar elevations, but yeah that east/west component must have really been something.

Got to love these 40-degree diurnal range days. #DryAir Feeling marginally better about the chance for some storms later in the day on Saturday. Then hopefully some more opportunities present themselves next week. Still very spotty in the aggregate though.

I sent it by carrier pigeon. Keep waiting. Low of 44 here.

Safe Harbor regulates the elevation of Lake Clarke at a pretty consistent 227’ so shouldn't be any issues down this way. For now at least. But yes I can imagine it’s getting rough up that way.

Sounds like a great boat day on the river tehe. Wifey and I are taking some friends out. Safe Harbor reporting a water temp of 73.
