I was shocked it held together going over the Weather Ginzu Knife aka the Allegheny Front then intensified moving over State College. That almost never happens with a line.

 

Good link to book mark: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/view/prodsByState.php?state=PA&prodtype=public

 

There are some. Generally later they put out a full report, probably once this line clears Lancaster. They also put snow totals, etc.

 

We got 1.24 of rain as of 8:40.

A rare occurrence for sure. Great storm.  I was parked just south of the State College Spikes stadium as the storm rolled through. Some nice structure as it approached, and great lightning. Big bolt came down right at the stadium and killed all the lights at one point, and another bolt came down in the woods about 100yds from my car. 

 

Now today we will have to see if we can get some clearing late this morning or afternoon, otherwise I can't see much developing.

Cell just moved through, decent wind and strong rain. Max rain rate was 4.32"/hr, recorded a gust of 21.3 mph. I'm pretty sheltered via some trees, I'm guessing KLNS recorded something between 30-50 mph. A few rumbles and cg strikes, but nothing major. A fairly decent storm altogether.

 

It's tapered off to a steady rain now. Temp dropped almost 15 degrees since 6:15.

This is time-sensitive obvi but something I've rarely seen is on radar:

Note how the the area of rain moves but the extremely heavy stuff north and west of State College is nearly stationary. Weird. Any met/amateur able to explain that?

They have a flash flood warning up for it. Wow, wonder how much rain they will get? 

Looks like terrain enhanced thunderstorms.  The system as a whole is moving southwest to northeast and as the flow interacts with the divide between the Allegheny Plateau and the Appalachain Mountains you are seeing an area of heavy rain.

Thanks!

 

DUJ washed away.

I'll probably see it float by later.

I have posted this site in the past but wanted to again because it is just that cool --- http://weather.im/iembot/

 

have surrounding NWS offices set as the tabs... been following the flood reports in Jefferson, Clarion, Venango counties... have seen some 1"/hr rate reports as well as a 3" in 3hrs report earlier this morning... just waiting to see any near DUJ reports because there has to be at least a few inches falling there

 

also...

Good lord this area of rain is intense. Gonna be a rough evening for travel unfortunately for just about all of us!

Judging by radar, we look to be under the gun for heavy rain within the next hour or two, with Williamsport not far behind.  Already coming down at a steady clip under the lighter echoes.

 

Radar estimates nearing 5" around DuBois already.
