Wild. No rain here today and the sun is poking out now. 

I was thinking the same as I stare out the window here into the capital city.  There was a sharp cutoff just southeast of Harrisburg, which was actually modeled very well by the Meso's this morning.  I think I'm going to be up around a third of an inch back home.

Wunderground stations near you would support that, a lot of them around .3" give or take. Interestingly, the stations down here recorded a bit less despite being further south. I finished with .21" at home so your area was a nice little jack today.

Yep looks like a smidge over .3” in the gauge. I’ll take what I can get! Official reading in the morning.

PA is leading neighboring states in tornadoes
Not exactly where we want to be leading the pack, but so far, we’ve have 20 confirmed tornadoes in 2026.  All 20 of those were this month (June), with more than a dozen of these happening two Sundays ago with the severe weather outbreak on the 14th.
 Most of these tornadoes have occurred along the western half of the state, but you’ll recall one of them was confirmed in Lancaster County last week.
I’d also like to include that these numbers came from the SPC’s records. There were a few tornado warnings yesterday, so it’s possible that this number changes slightly in the days to come if any storm surveys are performed. I made this graphic and scheduled it earlier in the day, so I think that disclaimer is important, but it still doesn’t change where we stand.

Plenty of lows in the 50's across the area this morning with the lowest being the 50.0 at the Warwick DEOS. Today will be our 9th day in the last 10 with slightly below normal temperatures. Great weather through Thursday before rain chances increase again by Thursday night into Saturday morning. We should slowly warm up next week to above normal temperatures as we close out the month of June.

From Facebook: ** RING OF FIRE PATTERN **

Who's ready for the 'ring of fire' pattern next week? A large heat dome will set up in the Ohio Valley, bringing in the high heat and humidity. Even though we will be on the edge of this heat, we will still have temperatures and humidity levels push well above average, with dew points likely into the 70s (oppressive) range. Depending on the exact position of this high-pressure system, we may also be in the axis for storm clusters to move around this ridge of high pressure, which gives this the name 'ring of fire'. These storm clusters will need to be watched, as they will be moving into areas of very high instability and elevated wind shear. It is possible that if this ridge expands, it would push the storm complexes more into New England than into Pennsylvania. Regardless, next week will be rather active between the heat and storm potential! #PAwx #Pennsylvania #June #July #Summer #HeatDome

My kind of weather. Let's do this
