Slow-moving low pressure provided rounds of rain to southwest Pennsylvania on May 6th-7th. Widespread 48 hour rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches were observed, with locally higher amounts. Low-level convergence and frontogenesis fueled the heavier rainfall rates. Flooding was noted in a few locations as streams overflowed their banks, resulting in road closures and trapped vehicles.
