Man what a nice line of storms, with solid winds and plenty of L&T. Still some solid rain left to go here on the backend too. Came through right as I was putting the kids to bed, always fun seeing how they react to that ha.

My rain rate was 2.03in. hr. during the thunderstorm last night. It's been awhile since I think last July that my rain rate was that high.

We see more temperature ups and downs on the way for Pennsylvania over the next 5 weeks with frequent frontal passages. Despite the fronts, the pattern may not be excessively wet, meaning that drought conditions are likely to persist for SEPA

Low of 49 and a robust .63" of rain.  The mower should get another nice workout tomorrow.
