Central PA thread - Spring-like weather now, but...

My phone just went into emergency text mode, and I got an alert for a flood warning in my area. Nothing on CTP's website yet though. So far my total for the event is 2.36 inches.

That's a pretty crazy line of training storms. We are likely to get the area of steady rain but nothing like that stuff moving over Harrisburg area. It goes pretty far south, too.

The line, as it sits right now, is just south of me along the Blue Mountain. It appears as if it's drifting NORTH at the moment however, and like you said, there is training along it. The idea of 4 inch totals in some locations is probably not too far off the mark.
