As I watched the Harrisburg local CBS news this morning while enjoying coffee, Steve Knight seemed to say that we have the potential for up to 3.5" of rain between now and Sunday night. That would be very beneficial.

Not necessarily. Those maps are for time period up until next Friday morning. While the guidance is in fairly good agreement as to the big picture the devil is in the details. Small changes in the big picture could make big difference locally. Things I would be watching over the next few days is where and how strong high pressure over Atlantic will be and where the low sets up. And its May so diurnal instability will factor in to rainfall .

The models seem to not be able to account for chronic underperformance. It’s been an ongoing issue
Well, if the forecast was correct, it is suppose to come as scattered showers from today through Sunday, which sounds about ideal. Even if we only get 2", that would be GREAT!

As long as it comes in a long soaking rain, we will take it. That has not happened in a long time in my neck of the woods.

At this point, I don't care how it comes down, as long as it indeed comes down. 😉

Yep, looks like crick fillin' potential. Not carved in stone.

a couple of streams near me need this rain really badly... last time I was at falling spring it was so low below the meadow that the bottom was exposed in some areas. Although I've heard there's other issues at play than just a dry spell
If we only get three inches spaced out by three days, then no, I do not think Penns will be blown out next weekend. It will definitely be higher and probably have some color, though.
No. In fact I will be at Poe Paddy Monday-Wednesday. I think it will be helpful. Especially for the small streams. I will save you a few!

Penns headed for 900. Good for long haul but nor for this week. Still looking like 2 inches. Philly looks downgraded which is good. Headed to Phils on Saturday and the Broad Street Run on Sunday. Unfortunately that corner of the state needs it.
We will hammer Panther Run, Swift, and Little Poe and drink some bourbon.
She's already down to 700. Unfortunately, looks like another 2+ possible. I think the lure of trying to catch a few in the tribs is not enough to endure a soggy camping trip.
A bunch of us planted trees and shrubs on upper Hammer on Tuesday. I really hope they are OK. We got brief downpour in Hershey last evening, but the rain has had trouble making it east.
