5.28" yesterday is the 5th wettest day on record for Williamsport. Each of the top 4 rain events were the result of tropical remnants. Records go back to 1895! #PAwx
The preliminary precipitation total for Williamsport today is 5.25" so far. Looks like this is a top 5 wettest day on record! #PAwx
24 hour precipitation totals as of 9pm. Most of the heavy rain should weaken before it reaches the hardest hit areas but more flooding is quite possible. #PAwx
New drone footage from the Huntingdon Furnace tornado on July 18 shows the impressive blow down from this EF2! #PAwx www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhjF...

6" to 10" of rain? Gotta enjoy the last month of the NAM! At least I hope it is wrong.
July 2026 featured temperature departures ranging from just below average to more than 1.5° above average. Precipitation was widely variable given the popup nature of the storms. It was the second wettest July on record in Bradford. #PAwx stormsellweather.com/pennsylvania...
The way the month started it seemed like a warmer than average July was a guarantee. Thanks to some really cool nights, the monthly temperature will be just about average. #PAwx
The things you find while looking through old newspapers. This is from The Cambria Tribune Friday, May 26, 1899.
It should be noted that this did not include the remnants of a tropical system. Incredible.
Jeff Berardelli @weatherprof.bsky.social · last wk.Part of Albany, New York surpassed its 1-in-1000 year threshold by almost 2”! And almost doubled the highest 24-hour rainfall of 5.60”. A reminder, this does not mean it only happens once every 1000 years. It means there’s a less than .1% chance it happens in any given year… 1/
