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.

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.

 

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?

Ten of our last fifteen days have featured below normal temperatures. It looks like much of the next 15 days will also average out with cooler than normal temperatures. After some much needed rain last night we have a great day underway today. Below normal temperatures will continue through Saturday. Rain chances increase again toward Saturday morning before we briefly warm to above normal on Sunday for Mom’s day with highs in the middle 70’s. We turn sharply cooler again to start the new work week.

It has barely rained in those areas.

I live in the orange area and we have had rain the last month like 2-3 days a week. while some of it was showers and was only .20 we had other rain events 1.24  1.01 .86 .66.

 

 May 5, 2026, Harrisburg has experienced rainfall total of 11.56 inches, which is a deficit (departure) of -1.39 inches compared to the 13.95 inches average typically seen by this date. we are only down 1.39 This update doesnt even include the thge last round of rain where we picked up about .40 so that means we are about a 1 inch down. no way we should be in the orange color of drought
