Jns2183 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 By the looks of radar and meso's, we are not getting a lot more rain down this way until tomorrow AM. In AFD CTP highlights the great difficulty HIRES guidence as been having with the convective evolution of these rain bands. This tracks what I was reading on Twitter yesterday regarding the meso not having a clue with rainfall. So basically I think we are flying blind and have nothing to fall back on but now casting up to maybe 2-3 hours lead time.

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk The radar is fairly clear back to Western Ohio and Kentucky...in a PA context. The area in WV still headed mainly south of us as of now. Not doubt there will be showers and blobs of rain that pass or form, but I am not seeing any concentrated several hour strat rains the rest of the day/during daylight. That 2-3 MORE inches of rain headline does not seem overly likely here. The main roads are dry down this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But radar is finally looking to dry out shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people may get more precip Thursday than they do today. Those pop up showers mean business and could drop 1/2 to 1" if you catch several.

Voyager Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 3 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: MU still hyping snow and graupel on Thursday - "funny things happen under upper level lows..." That is a fact. We've had a couple of graupel events here in parts of the metro Phoenix area from upper level lows this winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with your assessment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 As we round out the first quarter of 2024, I thought it might be a good time for a review of temperatures. Through the first quarter of 2024, it's been quite toasty in central Pennsylvania. Williamsport: Third warmest start to the year [of 130 years], behind 2012 & 2023. Harrisburg / Middletown: Sixth warmest start to the year [of 136 years], behind 2020, 2023, 1998, 2012 & 1990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Looks like the severe outbreak out west is turning into a bust. I feel like they've had quite a few busts lately on the severe events. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Even the grass is mostly dry here now. Has not rained outside a few drops and drizzle since early morning. The HRRR minors out the precip in SW PA right now such that it is just light over the LSV....next decent rain for the LSV not until 2-3AM and not until after rush hour down here tomorrow. Today played out quite a bit differently than I expected as of yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Approaching 2.0” for the day (1.98”) and 2.71” for the event. I’m legitimately concerned for flooding in the local tributaries around here given the new headwater guidance this evening and the amount of rain forecast to fall yet thru tomorrow. There were already some issues today and the Little Juniata had already edged above flood stage early this evening for a bit. The Frankstown Branch is highly likely to get to major, and the Little Juniata has a shot at major too, but certainly a moderate range crest looks increasingly likely. Both branches with that kind of response would likely mean issues on the main Juniata thru Huntingdon and Lewistown. Here’s the updated overall FFG for 6hrs in the MARFC coverage area.

MAG5035 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2.3” was the daily total at midnight. Already 0.67” since midnight. Flooding issues of the small stream and poor drainage variety are occurring again. Another significant wave of rain on the doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2-day total of 2.97” here. Gonna be an over-performer. Low of 43 and high of 48 yesterday. This is one of those events where even when the radar is empty it adds up. The drizzle has weight to it ha. #easterlies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
