Thunderstorms starting to initiate in Northwestern pennsylvania in an  environment with over 5000jkg+ available in the area that they are initiating in .

Sheer vectors and storm motions appear to all generally be in the same direction, so that should help keep any tornado threat somewhat low. Especially down our way.

We’re getting hit hard up here. Everybody be safe.

That's pretty incredible. I don't know how much of this is going to come through, i'll echo @pawatch and say, stay safe out there.

As the overnight's storms push to the southeast, another round is beginning to move in from the northwest. The environment doesn't look very supportive, so this is anticipated to weaken as it pushes southeast. All hazards threat for activity later in the afternoon/evening

Since midnight, picked up 2.85” of rain, in the last 24 hours 3.89” and month to date its 4.58” here in Lebanon. Amazing. Anything else today will be just pure trouble
