now) in State College PA (near "CCX" in the image below).

the 2"+ that feel Sunday afternoon into Monday afternoon. We are now close

Report of an extended period of marble-sized hail at 1:30pm, because of the
cam problems* none showed the ground well so size and coverage could not be
confirmed.

WeatherCam #5 showed the storms moving in and out of the area.

Weather Station #3, and WeatherCam #3. WeatherCam #4 was out for service.
