pawatch Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 69 for the low. DP 67 Looks like people in the southern tier might see some serious storms today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Heavy heavy rain in camp hill. These little cells are hyper efficient rain producers. I have a feeling the main issue today is going to be some bad flooding. The whole atmosphere is primed that way. Any storm damage is going to come from wet microbursts, but any wind is bad with weakend trees, now a wet upper soil. Uprooted trees are going to happen with any semi significant wind. Hopefully the bigger wind issues stay south today. I'll gladly take my chances with 5" of rain vs even a 40mph gust todaySent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago This morning shower was an over performer in Marysville with .60 of rain already today.They all are going to be like that today. The AFD kept hammering how efficient the warm rain process will be today with tall skinny cape and warm clouds up to 11k ft. A little blob is going to put down a whole lot of rain. Someone is going to see 2"-5" today.Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Low of 71 with a rounded-up .01” of rain from a brief early morning mini shower. Late this afternoon could get very interesting around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I'm hoping we can get some steady rain. These fast downpours suck due to run off which does nothing to recharge groundwater Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I JUST Missed this morning's fun. Nothing measurable here...yet. @Jns2183 that heat wave graph is phenomenal! 1988 isn't talked about a whole lot, I remember that July very well. 2 extreme heat waves separated by just a few days. That summer couldn't end soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I'm excited for this little toy to add to my sensor network. Hopefully will be here in a week. After that I'll have just about all the bases covered from ultrasonic winds to two rain gauges (one tipping bucket), to lightning detector, soil moisture at 5cm/30cm, soil temperature at 5cm along with conductivity, an indoor air quality sensor that has readings available at the 1, 2.5, 5, 10 ug level and CO2. The only little toys left are an evapotranspiration detector on back order that is sold as a "leaf wetness" detector and a really cool laser measurement one that is technically for water tanks but can be converted to snow measurement. That last one is so tempting but I feel like I would just be burning $70 with how little snow we've been getting around here. What I really need to do is get over my fear of heights a bit more so I can move my main sensor from 15 ft up to 25 ftSent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago A flood watch is in effect through midnight for the potential of some heavy rain. Some isolated spots could see the rain fall at 1" to 2" per hour. No doubt with our rain deficit let's hope we all see some beneficial rain today! Additional shower chances tomorrow before we start to clear out on Saturday. Today will be our 4th straight day with below normal temperatures this should continue through the weekend before we warm to normal on Tuesday in the mid-80's and above normal with near 90 by Wednesday. It looks like great weather for the All-Star Game in Philly next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I also bought a good manual rain gauge so that I could start reporting to https://www.cocorahs.org/I implore everyone here to start that. This area is hurting for people and it would actually make a real difference since there data is ingested for model verification.Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 58 minutes ago Share Posted 58 minutes ago That narrow band through northern York/Lanc Counties the last couple hours has really been something to behold, as it drifts ever so slowly. It's finally drooping down to my neck of the woods and seems imminent to start pouring as the thunder rolls. Gonna be some big totals, I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
