63 when I left the house. Expected rain totals have dwindled quite a bit in recent days but some people should still do well today. Carry on.

Wow radar is full today!

Good morning, any thoughts on when the rain should move out of the LSV today? 
We are supposed to have a softball game this evening in Perry county, but even if the rain ends this afternoon, field conditions might not be ideal.

Cooler today with showers we could see up to 0.25" of needed rain. We are at 73% of normal rainfall for the year to date. We remain cooler than normal through Saturday with a brief warmup on Sunday to above normal before temperatures again fall below normal. Overall, the next couple weeks look to average below normal. Our next shower chances will be Saturday.

What's interesting about the timing is CTP has almost all of under "likely" (60-90% POPs) of rain right through the evening hours. Yet Mount Holly has the Delaware Valley free of rain by 4pm despite being farther east. I don't know if more stuff is going to come through later, but the "main" batch of precip looks to be through here by early afternoon?

This batch of rain is hauling - looks like it will be clear of all of us in the next hour or so.

Ten day shows a lot of clouds, but no 50s. 

I can live with sixties in May.

.31 rain today.

The rain broke about 10 mins before I had 600 people in suits walk about a quartwr mile.  
 

Thank you baby Jesus
