Maybe not completely? Showers in central PA/PSU radar...maybe a couple will make it and swing through late this afternoon/early evening.

59F/ UV index 7...my skin is starting to show it/reddish.

April showers bring May flo... floods? :P

Currently getting a heavy shower (1/3 - 1/2" per hr rates), and with the lighter rain earlier this morning, currently have 0.41" in the bucket at post time.  Am now at 4.79" for the month so far and not even past the 2nd week.

Current temp is 43 after briefly hitting 48 before the heavier rain came in, with a dp of 42

Driving through Montgomeryville and ran into something—very small hail, almost IP like bouncing off the car. And despite temps around 50F at the time, there was cat paw hitting the windshield along with the rain and everything else :blink:

One of those popcorn storms came through here but only wet the sidewalk a bit (not enough to be measurable).  If nothing else manages to tip the bucket, I so far registered 0.43" for the day (and 4.81" for the month so far).  My high did make it to 56 around 2 pm and it's currently 49 with dp 41 and ever-changing skies as we close in on sunset.
