Christmas Tree!

WWA should be issued tonight or tomorrow 

I do believe you're correct...in fact, I believe the entire Mid-Atlantic and northeast US as per the NWS watch/warn map might just look like a Christmas Tree!

Canderson Holiday Express Storm fights on - a few too many L's on that map NW of us for my liking. 

I think the ensembles are showing a storm going up west of the mountains transitioning vorticity to the coast for a coastal development...very common in these parts as you are all aware.  If the antecedent cold is sufficient, that makes for a nice winter event in these parts...albeit possibly a tad sloppy or heavy...?  Storm to Pittsburgh, overrunning precip; then coastal take over...hammer time!  That model posted is 234 hours out...Thoughts?

This storm, for those who see white from it, would likely seal a White Christmas, would it not? I haven't had the time to look too far out but I was under the impression this storm brings the cold.

20°F+ surface T anomalies for a couple of days with Td >32°F will erode snow cover quickly if that indeed occurs as per the Euro...

It's a cutter on 'roids. If the Euro depiction happens, I know someone whose AC will be humming on 12/24...

Christmas Eve and early Christmas morn 2015 was awesome!  It was warm and humid!  As a young kid, I would've been depressed.  Now, I loved it!  I believe the maxT was 70F at KMDT on Christmas Eve!

7" here in Valley Green, northern York County.  Liquid equivalent later for my 7 am COCORAHS observation...

Be ready for a heavy traffic and numerous people.  It's worth the experience if you've never done it; however, I will warn you that it was very busy the ONE time we went years ago.  I prefer to ride my bike up the rail trail.

And you were the big winner.  My dad near valley green and had water in his basement. 

Yeah...at one point according to Newberry Twp police website, there was no way to get in/out of my location via road.  I never left as I was trying to divert water from house and not have to clean up basement...again!  I use a standard 10:1 COCORAHS type rain gauge and was measuring about every hour or so throughout the day.  From 3:30 pm to about 5 pm was the greatest rate (but even the "moderate" rain was heavy all day!).  I've been measuring precip for COCORAHS since 2010 or so.  It's easier now for me to go out and get soaked by a tropical rain than melt a column and get the liquid equivalent!  When I was younger, I'd do snow angels and pack snow against the tent.  Now I'd like to have weather every day like what we had today; Sept 2, 2021!  I love weather...and moreso, I love the meteorology and the outdoors!

What is that drain?

Several comments here.

1. it’s 3 days short of a record.

2. this is the first time in recorded history that MDT made it through July and August without dropping below 60.

3. Five of the top ten have been in the last 6 years.

Warm AMO cycle with higher dew points and thus warmer minimums.

They reshaped the counties.

Drainage basins for the various streams.  Hydrology forecasting is very tricky for so many reasons!

I received 9.71" on 9/7/2011. If it rained here for 24 hours today, I think we'd definitely rival that. 

Here are my obs leading up to Lee...Valley Green

Think these might be underestimated by radar:

6”….yellow
5”….purple
4”….blue


.

I'm in that little yellow square just east of I-83 under the "E" in E-Town.

And as of 4 pm here in Newberry Twp, there are 16 roads closed. Many of the closures are within a couple of miles of my location (Valley Green).

MDT is at 5.12” as of 5 pm. Won’t add much more it appears (at least I don’t think it’ll add .5”) so it’ll be the 5th rainiest September day it seems. 

I'm 2.25 miles SSW of KMDT and have received 6.89" as of 5:15 pm!  I hope you're right about that 1/2 inch prediction!
