The sky is glowing! Have 0.35" of rain so far. I'll take it!

Caught right in the middle of a big, fat, nothing burger. Like usual.

Temp dropped to 79F and the dew to 71, but have all kinds of development around.

Gust front just came through. 30 MPH winds, dropped the temp and humidity. Hoping it doesn't do too much stabilizing.

Can see the shelf cloud on the Chester storm. 14 miles out.

Like a top.

I'd love to be in Maryland right now! Looks like the line is going to play chicken with a sea breeze, too. That is some advanced warning for the Delaware Bay, as well!

Pics or it didn't happen.

Another one: The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a * Tornado Warning for... Southeastern Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania... East central Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania... Northwestern Philadelphia County in southeastern Pennsylvania... Northern Delaware County in southeastern Pennsylvania... * Until 545 PM EDT. * At 520 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located over King Of Prussia, or 14 miles northeast of West Chester, moving east at 40 mph. HAZARD...Tornado and quarter size hail. SOURCE...Weather spotters reported funnel cloud.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a * Tornado Warning for... Northwestern Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania... West central Bucks County in southeastern Pennsylvania... * Until 545 PM EDT. * At 519 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located near Spring Mount, or 20 miles east of Reading, moving east at 30 mph. HAZARD...Tornado. SOURCE...Radar indicated rotation.

The models had it falling apart a bit. But as of now, looks like this line is doing well. Tops are still over 50kft. Some good strong updrafts in there. I'll probably get nothing, now. lol

A few wind damage and flash flood reports.

Another slight risk in effect. Will this translate to any rainfall, though? "A modest enhancement to the westerlies aloft may contribute to as much as 25 kt effective shear, supportive of sustained clusters and linear segments. Steep low-level lapse rates and high-water content suggests damaging downbursts are likely, especially with any organized clusters this afternoon through around mid-evening. This most favored corridor for downbursts/tree damage is expected to focus east of the Blue Ridge across eastern portions of Virginia/Maryland into southeast Pennsylvania and New Jersey."

Well, I picked up 0.00" of rain. Maybe the next couple of days will do something. It's needed here.

It's come to that, eh?

Seems the local radars have been down a lot lately. At least KPHL is back up, just in case...

Haven't been following the accuracy of the models, but Mt Holly stated that the models have been underestimating rainfall totals and coverage.

Please don't break, KDOX! Please don't break, KDOX! lol

Completely non-weather related, but happy belated 4th, everyone! Here's a time lapse I shot of our local fireworks... And every other firework in South Jersey and SEPA. lol

Ended up with 0.48" of rain yesterday. Have 0.16" today. Still raining, 71F.

And the actual time lapse.

Picked up 0.2" pretty quickly there. Temp is down to 76F. Couple screen grabs from the time lapse I captured.

Well, I was standing outside looking up at my drone when this strike reached down from the sky and startled the shit out of me. lol

Looks like I'm finally going to get some heavy rain. Won't last too long, but the storm structure looks good from the drone's view.
