My temp has come down a few notches. Now at 73/54

75.2 here already...making a run for 80 today.

I was stunned when I saw the tweet on CTP's home page this morning - and then I was even more stunned as to why they posted a map that began well into the event. I got nothing as to why, even with that said, the data is inaccurate.

The above map was for rainfall from 9am yesterday through 9am this morning. For those west of the Suskie everything you had before 9am isn't included. That's why you're seeing the heavier amounts further east.

There was a front page article in yesterday's Lancaster newspaper specific to golf - sounded like the local courses were full for the entire weekend.

And for some...longer.

Pretty darn nice day today! A little unexpected but with a decent amount of sun I'm already up to 65. It's beautiful out!

There has been a long running misunderstanding regarding Lancaster's observations and recordings. CTP uses airport terminals for a lot of it's measurements (MDT is Harrisburg's "official" station) but in Lancaster, my understanding is that the official records are kept at MU and not at the Lancaster airport. MU recorded 2.06" which is what i went with. There was quite a west/east gradient in our home turf yesterday with eastern locales barely eclipsing 1" while areas out west here approached 3" and a bit above. Edit: I fully disclose that I might not understand the official recording areas correctly at all.

2.42" here. @pasnownut Lancaster finished at 2.06". So close...:)

Reading the Philly thread...looks like a big busto over that way.

I read Lancaster's report incorrectly earlier...at 6pm they are at 1.89".

When I saw Lancaster's number I began to question my ability to read! I'm JUST under 2" with moderate rain.

At 5:00pm Lancaster officially was at .62" storm total - they might not have a hard time cracking 1".

You hit the 2" mark yet?

Time to play catch up over this way - it is hammering.

@Cashtown_Coop It looks like you might be picking up in intensity again shortly?

Same here, I'm at 1.2"

Heavy rain down at the southern border of VA near Petersburg is blossoming and expanding due north. If that maintains it's trajectory, areas east of the Susky have a long evening ahead of them. That's a big fat IF...

There is almost no easterly movement in the overall shield right now - remarkable.

What he said!

Chambersburg area north through Harrisburg and then due north from there.

Much of the 81 corridor is under a flood advisory now.

There is a growing area of heavy rain in central VA that is aimed at our area (will miss those that have had heavy rain already wide right) so we'll see...

WPC has been consistently focusing on that area for the past couple of days. I agree with everything you said.

Had some sprinkles earlier but they have stopped. Current temp is 68 on the nose.
