86, you tracking ??   Broad rotation over Waynesboro??

 

Finally in the books for July rain and I can confirm that we had some circulation to the rain as it feel.  Not saying a tornado but it was not normal.  Mow number 9 will be coming up this week.  About a half inch here. 1.3" for the last 3 weeks.

I have two weather stations close to me. One is 1 mile southwest. The other 1 mile east. The southwest weather station has 23.71" for the year and the east one has 17.46".

For May through YTD the south west has 7.08" the east 4.37"

For January and February the Southwest has 6.87" the east has 2.96


Now I can understand in the summer having a big difference due to a day or two of training storms where 2 miles makes a huge difference but this data is absurd. Now I'm thinking I can't trust any of those station as a 35% difference that happened piecemail over both summer and winter where a straight line between the two stations is actually only 1.3 miles is insane

What you are describing was my 2020.    4/5 of the Valley area was dancing in the rain and we were over 10" below MDT's norm's at one point...over 11 actually.  People in Harrisburg were rafting down Front street while my grass died...not browned, died (and my insurance company paid to resod.)

Survey Summary:

A brief EF-0 tornado occurred near Route 147 in Upper Paxton

Township, Dauphin County. The National Weather Service Office in

State College, PA conducted a storm survey of the area to

investigate the damage. Trees were downed by the tornado, blocking

the roadway at 3462 PA 147. The tornado damage was intermittent as

it traveled east for about 1 mile, downing more trees as it

crossed over Shippen Dam Rd. The survey also found a larger area

of more sporadic, non-tornadic wind damage to the north of the

tornado track, which extended nearly 20 miles from Seven Stars in

Juniata County to Gratz in Dauphin County. This damage mostly

consisted of downed trees and tree limbs, as well as downed

powerlines on Specktown Road in Lykens Twp, Dauphin County. It was

determined that this larger area of sporadic damage was

associated with the forward flank downdraft of the same storm,

which is an area of straight line winds within a supercell. We

would like to thank Perry County and Dauphin County for their

assistance with this survey.

Rating: EF1
Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph
Path Length /statute/: 1.51 miles
Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards
Fatalities: 0
Injuries: 0

Start Date: 07/02/2023
Start Time: 03:48 PM EDT
Start Location: 1 ENE Hartleton / Union County / PA
Start Lat/Lon: 40.9025 / -77.132

Survey Summary:
At 3:48 PM local time, a tornado touched down in Lewis Township
(Union County). The initial tornado touched down just south of
Millmont God`s Missionary Church and tracked ENE causing damage
to a well-constructed chicken coop along with uplifting a
majority of a barn`s roof and spreading it throughout a nearby
field. Several large tree branches were broken off. Then the
tornado shifted to a more northeasterly track across Route 45.
The tornado tracked just west of a residence along Pleasant Grove
Road, where many large limbs were observed to be down with a
healthy cherry tree snapped before continuing to move northeast.
Trees along the intersection of Kaiser Run Road and Windy Valley
Lane were uprooted and snapped with a small outer building having
damage lofted into a nearby field. The tornado dissipated
slightly north of Kaiser Run Rd around 3:56 PM local time. We
would like to thank Union County Emergency Management, along with
local residents, for their help with this survey.

Some spots across Southern Chester County saw over 2" of rain last night...while folks in the Northern parts saw nothing. There is a chance of more hit and miss storms later today so maybe some of the Northern folks can cash in today. Cooler today before both Wednesday and Thursday see temps in the upper 80's. Rain chances return by the weekend.
Records for today: High 101 (1919) / Low 45 (1986) / Rain 1.89" (2019)
