I noticed the rotation also and did save a screen shot of storm relative velocity. 

Yes thank you! It had that rotation the whole time it cross York County with no warning on it until it was east of Stewartstown

Just got done reading all the hype on Facebook lol. I just want rain. I don't care about severe. Hopefully that happens.

So just boring ass drought? Looks like it all misses to the north where they have a rain surplus lol

The 10 day gfs precip map really tells the story. Just incredibly boring.

Deep westerly flow here is never a good environment for widespread convection.  That said, the dew points aren’t progged to lower Thursday afternoon as much as I would have expected, and the RRFS is able to generate a few scattered storms.  And any storm in this kinematic environment would be interesting.  Still, the best chance of some rainfall might be early Friday as a weak wave moves along the front.

CSU MLP is pretty garden variety (15% in a big, broad area). CIPS is pretty unenthused. NCAR is still heavily bullish. 

I think most of us know this at this point is not going to be an outbreak in our region. But let's see how things evolve with Wednesday convection and timing and such.

This is just my observation, but the AI stuff (NCAR) seems to over do convection is marginal environments. It's almost like there aren't enough events in it's database.
