Snowing here and temp 33.

38 here.

1.09 rain so far today. I had .23 rain before that front came through.

Temp down to 39 here.

Front coming through now experienced the same temp drop. Heavy rain blowing sideways.

Yes it sounds much later than yesterday. But this afternoon sounds like we have to be on the lookout for severe weather.

You should have did a powerpoint presentation on the weather threats were facing today and offered counseling to those individuals.

Seems quite unusual that CTP is strongly on board for this event. They are usually pretty conservative.

Tomorrow I'd just like to have a good thunderstorm consisting of good thunder and continuous lightning without wind over 25mph. But I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

The NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center has placed south central Pennsylvania in an Enhanced Risk (Level 3 out of 5) for Monday March 16th. Pennsylvania averages only 5 to 6 Enhanced Risk days per year. Damaging straight line wind gusts are the primary threat, but a few tornadoes are possible as well.

Thanks for your analysis on this. I did see someone commented on Facebook (I don't know what site or thread it was on) this person said they and their spouse had damage on their property and it was the loudest thunder they ever heard. They also said they went down into their basement till the storm passed. So maybe there was just a brief touchdown of a tornado. Also I wish there were more radar sites like in the Harrisburg area for better coverage during severe weather events.

You got to keep that tanker spit-shined.

I wonder if this will expand a little more north in the coming days?
