It wasn't predicted in the morning but by early afternoon it was showing on my weather service. Their future radar had large yellow/orange cells moving through the area. We were out (6:30pm) for ice cream with our church group (almost 30 people) and most were not aware when I told them. It was due to hit around 8pm and I was watching the clock to get home before it started. When people started to see lightning in the distance, the group left pretty quickly.
The funny thing is, we were supposed to get about a half inch of rain in Center Harbor and instead the storm seemed to split around us, going north and south. We got a little rain but nowhere near the predicted amount. No real loud (close) thunder.
