Blizzard of 93 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The daily climate report for MDT seems to be off for yesterday. They only put .11 of precip as the daily total on the overnight daily climate summary. It looked like there were a few rounds of showers to pass through Middletown yesterday and last evening. The hourly precip reports for MDT show nothing recorded since 5/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does MDT stay below 50 from Sat Am until Mon AM? Doubt it, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this phenomenon will screw both PIT and MDT on Saturday. (Midnight high temp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Only got .08" rain yesterday, pretty much skirted to the south of me. I saw that there was reports of hail yesterday.Anybody buddy end up with any of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well I ended up with .54" for the day yesterday, so @Itstrainingtime wins yet again. Man did Longs Park ever take it on the chin last night. LNP has a write-up about the damage with some good pics. Lots of big trees down and here is a trailer that blew across Harrisburg Pike, thinking quite the little microburst hit that area. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Midnight high temp) At least for MDT, that cold front is pressing pretty good by midnight so although it may be higher than they say noon, the difference should not be too much.

A degree or two could be enough to make the difference. But correct me if I’m wrong, doesn’t the official daily data actually run from 1am-1am during Daylight Savings Time? That would help some if it’s true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 NWS Zone keeps temps coming down, now to near 58 on Sat. I wonder if we can get below 50 for Highs. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area seemed to be a bit of a nadir in terms of totals, judging by the radar estimates. Also a couple Weather Underground stations just to the west on top of the ridge reported a bit under .2 so it's possible it downsloped to .11 by the time it hit MDT. Who knows, just a thought, but anything is possible with good 'ol MDT ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I was in the same boat, could tell it packed a punch though. I was camped out on the front porch watching some pretty wicked cloud formation just to my south. So, my buddy who works for Lancaster City is on site at Longs Park and says they have never seen anything like it, over 75 large trees down. They are sending photos and drone footage to NWS for investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WU station nearest to Longs Park immediately to its east (believe it may be Jones Honda) recorded a 33mph gust right as that storm hit and then its weather station was knocked out for a while so who knows how powerful that gust was. 11 minutes ago, Jns2183 said: Anyone have access to the archives of level 2 data?

Wasn't aware of any rotation but the clouds were doing some crazy things as that passed by just to my southeast. 5 minutes ago, Voyager said: Lots of large branches and debris down along PA-225 a couple miles north of Elizabethville. Guessing a microburst there as well? I saw a number of storm damage reports from up above Halifax and Berrysburg and whatnot so yes that area got hit pretty hard as well. One report of a barn blown over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am reading MDT's info correctly, which I might not be, any daily highs of 50 or less will break a record for any day going forward. Like @TimB84 mentioned, a record could be lost due to the midnight/1AM thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Those Long Park pics are classic microburst stuff. Impossible to forecast, always hope it hits where no one lives. In this case, it hit a perfect location since it's surrounded by neighborhoods and businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
