JamieOber Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Looking at some wundermap weather station totals and what's streaming north, looks like some parts of Lower Susquehanna could be looking at 4" from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You guys appear to have a decent flash flood risk. Freaking firehose aimed right at you: http://www.wundergro...w=0&lightning=0 My phone just went into emergency text mode, and I got an alert for a flood warning in my area. Nothing on CTP's website yet though. So far my total for the event is 2.36 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are likely to get the area of steady rain but nothing like that stuff moving over Harrisburg area. It goes pretty far south, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are likely to get the area of steady rain but nothing like that stuff moving over Harrisburg area. It goes pretty far south, too. The line, as it sits right now, is just south of me along the Blue Mountain. It appears as if it's drifting NORTH at the moment however, and like you said, there is training along it. The idea of 4 inch totals in some locations is probably not too far off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 .42 from 1256-1356, which was the heaviest hour so far, but i bet we exceeded that between 13 and 1400 hours. between about 2 and now was crazy. 1.59" from midnight till 1:56pm recorded at Middletown.

sauss06 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Middletown recorded .53" from 156-256, with a storm total of 2.12". Harrisburgs totals have to be over that. I don't have a gauge here at work, but i would bet from about a little before 2 to 230 we exceeded the .53 they recorded for the entire hour.
