Man that radar is starting to look juicy again.  Atmosphere is just a wet sponge that needs wrung out. 

My wife just left BWI heading home. She texted before she left that it was raining so hard that it sounded like it was coming through the roof of our Tucson. Very efficient rain maker already.

Great discussion, but is it region wide, or more south and east positioned?
No I pulled up the nam soundings for KMDT and downloaded the images for today from 11am till 8pm then uploaded them and had it walk me through its interpretation circling and annotating what it's looking at so I can learn. That was just the summary.

I just now uploaded a bunch of different GOES satellite gifs downloaded from CTP site and gave it current flash flood guidance amounts and asked if It had $100 to bet that someone within 25 miles of camp Hill would see flash flooding today how much would it bet. $85-$95. So it's pretty gung ho on people getting slammed today

Our flash flood guidance is so meager at this point, I just don't see how large swaths of Lancaster County don't have serious issues tonight.  Hoping for the best but things could really go south quickly.  Chiques Creek is completely swollen as it is.

The severe storm that was birthed around here (Carlisle area) yesterday afternoon around 4:00pm caused a lot of problems in the aftermath.  A combination of high winds and flooding rains created severe flooding in and immediately around Carlisle Borough.  I think I was about a mile away from the worst winds and especially flooding rains.  But, I have the misfortune of still being without power.  They keep pushing the restore time back, so it's now 11:00pm this evening.  PPL has restored much of the affected areas, however, I'm in the 338 homes without power.  I ended the day with 2.10".  Ended the month with between 6.4 and 6.6".  YTD near 21.50", which is an annual deficit so far of about 2.50".

How is your annual deficit so much? I'm around 20"-21" and my deficit is only a little over 1"

Yes - I admit I was somewhat skeptical about today but no longer...radar is angry (almost looks like it's boiling) and there's no where for it to go...

The sky itself literally looks like it's boiling, and as for the humidity, at the water plant in Fogelsville it was off the charts. Even I couldn't stand how oppressive it felt, especially in the sun. I'm up near Tamaqua getting another load now and it's mostly overcast here.

I don’t want to jinx it but things seem to be moving through swiftly and collapsing at a good rate. Looking like we may avoid a repeat of last night. About to exit the train in Mount Joy. 

Yes indeed. Even the stuff west of us is weakening as it moves east. 

Perhaps I shouldn't have abandoned my first thought...we'll see.
