I'm pretty sure I took a picture of it sneaking by me In the rain from pinchot park. 

Were you able to see it being that far north? The cell I noticed scooted across Shrewsbury towards Felton, just north of Stewartstown. It had broad rotation after it crossed 83, and wasn’t warned until east of Stewartstown. I had to text a friend who lives in that area to tell her to go to her basement haha

Does anybody know why the CTP page that provides a summary of max/min temps and precip twice a day for the ASOS sites hasn't updated since May 5th?  If it is accessible somewhere else could someone please provide that?  Below is a link to the page.  Thanks.

  Hopefully, every thing turned out, okay with your friends.  I was out catching bait with my son and didn't even peek at the radar yesterday. When I get home from work i'll look at storm paths and trajectories, but it doesn't seem like I was most likely looking at that cell.

It's because they took it out to the wood shed and discontinued the product

The screenshot there has your best chances to find a replacement

Apparently there was a sasquatch. sighting in the neighborhood that I'm working in. They said that it's wearing an orange shirt and a black hat.I looked everywhere.I think these people are full of s***.

Thanks JNS.  Thought you may be the one to know haha.  Well, that stinks.  That site had been one of my main daily go-to visits for many years.  A great one-stop shop.  Ugh.

Thanks! STP noted this morning they’d be looking into damage reports in York/Lancaster where that cell traveled. Friend is ok!
