That would be a bummer as it's my wife's company picnic day at Knoebels.

Hope it misses!

Wowsers! That's a heck of an area of rain over the central part of the county considering there was NO rain in the forecast today until a slight chance after 12pm. 

Edit: CTP just added in a 30% chance for this morning. (once the cells had already formed)

Yeah things really exploded out this way.  Flash flood warning up around Manheim.  Storms just not moving.  I missed out on the worst of it but still got a nice drenching to the tune of almost half an inch.

I'm at the health campus and there is water everywhere. Total deluge.

Holy moly - Just under 2" in the last 1.5 hours and still raining hard.  Local roads passable (at least where I am) but need to drive down the middle.  Didn't see this coming.

Like @Itstrainingtime said - it feels SO nice outside. 

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Nooners 65 degrees.

We can't get a decent thunderstorm to save our lives here, but we do drizzle and mist quite well...

I get one "decent" thunderstorm and lose a big tree because of it. 

Give me light rain/drizzle/mist 24/7/365.

From the station about 100 yards away...

That happened at my mom's in AZ in 2023. It was the nonsoon monsoon, but we did get one big storm, which had to rip the roof off her patio. Glad it wasn't the main roof, but still...

I was just glad I was out there when it happened as it was easier for me to get it fixed as opposed to her trying with her handicapped condition.

Any idea what the wind was? Glad it didn’t hit a house!

Wind speed is the only inaccurate measurement on my station. It's just too sheltered. 

Having said that, the highest speed I've ever recorded at my house was 41 mph (LOL) during Isabel and last evening I recorded winds of 33 mph. I'd guesstimate maybe 20 mph or so higher?

Never made it out of 60s. Backdoor Cold Front for the win.

I saw radar estimates of 3.5”.

Loos like 67 is my high. Hope for rain tmrw so I don’t have to water.
