This should at least maintain things over the next week.

Often is that way, but the bowing part of the storms was legit and pretty intense here. It didn’t look stormy at all till just before it arrived it looked ominous! Still a loud crack of thunder now and then with the moderate stratiform rain.

The sun is already breaking out this AM. Should see mostly sunny skies to start the holiday weekend both today through Sunday....although there will be a slight chance of showers each day. Sunday night into Monday looks to be the wettest day. Chester County records for today: High 98 degrees at Phoenixville (1924) / Low 30 degrees at Coatesville (1956) / Rain 2.62" at West Chester (1979)

Yes had quite the good old fashioned storm here! Sirens were wailing in 3 nearby towns and I can hear all of them depending on wind direction. Probably only heard one or two this morning. It turned very dark and after a bit we had a wind driven downpour blowing in sheets with over 50 mph gusts. Had an earlier little storm around 4:30 a.m. and 0.20” of rain. Over 1” total so far. It first looked like it would miss C.R, but they may have ended up with more according to estimates. This storm went for hundreds of miles now. Had a little pea-hail from both storms. See a smallish broken limb dangling from a tree near the house.

Very interesting weather in parts of ND today.
