I live out in Gretna and didnt get a single drop out of all those storms. I think very early this morning might of cause a small amount but basically nothing in the rain gauge. Crazy how much chaos goes on in part of this city while the other half is left with nothing. My neighborhood has many lawns turning brown already. The omadome is now renamed the gretna dome....brutal -

That happened here on Saturday too, and last evening as well! And I was surrounded by storms both times when it appeared to be heading right for me. It's kind of disgusting, but to a lesser degree because we got that other awesome nearly 2" rain last week. Yesterday morning I picked up a nice shower though of 0.23", but only a trace last evening. Storms early yesterday had lots of incloud lightning, but as as one cell developed right overhead and strengthened more it started spitting a lot of c/g bolts which was exciting. It seemed like hours of constant rumbling last evening and plenty in the morning. It's been awhile since there was a day like yesterday, but still not much to show for it here except for a refreshing cool outflow!! I took lots of videos and photos, but I don't have time to upload attm. I just hope Friday pans out, especially for @OttumwaSnomow! -

Hottest day for a while today before storms tonight usher in some typical June temps to close out the week. Weekend looks a bit unsettled with maybe some more rain chances but not a total washout. Temps look to fall back to a little below normal to start the new work week. Chester County records for today: High 100 degrees at Phoenixville (1943) / Low 43 at West Chester (1899) / Rain 3.35" at Coatesville (1938)- 1
