CoastalWx Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Kmdt up to 3.70" for the day and 8.37" for event. Good thing it's only 11 am with the real party arriving mid afternoon. At least it is spaced out over a few days. You'll have to watch that convection off to the south near BWI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Think that area from near Bloomsburg down to Lancaster is gonna be under the gun big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Any mets have thoughts on this?? Will the 3 hour break alleviate some flooding?? Not long enough of a break... Precipitable water content is very high over the area and moisture transport is moving north right up the coast... can see quite a bit more rain in the next several hours which the streams and creeks def cant handle let alone a rapidly rising susquehanna river... here is a link off of SPC's website that may interest some that have never seen it before... http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Susquehanna forecast to hit at least 24.2", which would be the eighth-highest crest ever. At that crest, Front and Second streets in Harrisburg flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Think that area from near Bloomsburg down to Lancaster is gonna be under the gun big time. really? you thinkin the heavy rain shifts a bit east as it heads north? right now it looks like it's going to destroy york/harrisburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There's a guy on the York Daily Record newspaper site who comments all the time on how the weather forecasts are always going to be wrong because forecasters are never right, etc. but when the forecast is right, he deletes his comments. Guess what he did today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 This looks absolutely epic for the York/Harrisburg region. I can't recall seeing a set up like this before. Just a sprinkle or two here so far and 25 miles west is one of the biggest flash flood events ever. Unreal! Post some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 i just went and checked my house. There is a little moisture around my basement walls, no biggie yet, however, my sister next door has 6" in their basement Someone designed our basement to flow the water in a channel and out a drain. It's weird but it works. There's like a creek down there. Only has happened a few times since we've lived there. Yeah I mean that general area for now. Harrisburg mght get some more action later on. Going to be interesting to see what the Middletown gauge records after that blob north of Harrisburg moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerplunk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The blob moving through DC now looks like it has potential to spread precip back into the SC area. Let's say a prayer for the Susquehanna Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It will build west as the trough goes negative.

r-ville Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 CD High School and nearby Elementary school. keeping students on site, not permitting parents to pick them up and not allowing busses in.

Its not an uncommon move during an emergency situation. I can understand the thought, but no way anyone can tell me that after I get there they won't release my child. OMDB!

canderson Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 But not letting parents pick up kids is, well, flat-out wrong. I'd go ballistic if I had a kid there I couldn't pick up. It's not like the world's ended out there - only a few roads AT THIS TIME are washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
