Penn State Hanna Update

In regards to my blog yesterday about the Penn State game on Saturday, some forecasters here at AccuWeather seem convinced the rain will miss us, but the official AccuWeather.com AccuPOP Forecast still shows a 40% chance of of rain that day... the most likely amount: 0.40".

Here's an animation of the last 5 versions of the NAM Forecast Model [JessePedia] total precipitation for Pennsylvania:

There's some bouncing around, but not much of a trend... though if you don't look at the Weird Run [JessePedia] in-between, it seems to stay steady. I guess that's a trend too but it's not helpful since we're still on the edge. I'm going to say you'll need an umbrella for sure - I just don't know whether it will protect you from the sun or rain.

(Somebody asked yesterday if I would pinpoint Penn State on the map. I won't, because it's useless with a crazy forecast like this, but trust me, it's in the geographical center of Pennsylvania.)
