Why weren’t you at your house in the Poconos this weekend?

Gorgeous weather out here today with no rain at all. Sunny, 85 with light winds and scattered Cu. We are fortunate to be under an area of subsidence between the coastal system and another one over the upper Midwest.

The line is getting ready to cross Blue Mountain and move across the Lehigh Valley. With light rain and temperatures in the 60s here it does not appear that this feature will have too much left by the time it reaches the Delaware River Valley and western NJ.

Mt. Holly reports EF3 damage in the Bensalem/Trevose area in Bucks Cty. from yesterday’s storms.

Mt. Holly has just updated. They report EF3 damage in the Bensalem/Trevose area in Bucks Cty.

I checked out the damage near Hellertown. Looks like a downburst to me

No.

Use one that is wireless to keep the critters at bay. You can mount it on a deck or fence post if you don’t want to go up to your roof (a shed/garage roof will work fine).

Do you have a weather station at your place?

Mt. Holly has confirmed 2 EF1 tornadoes in Ocean Cty., NJ yesterday. One was in Watertown and the other in the Cedar Bridge area of Barnegat Twp.

They are up and running so I guess they did.

I will add that a station in Lehighton had 1.18”

I checked on the Davis site. Stations in Lake Harmony and Blakeslee recorded 1.08” and 1.00” respectively in the past 24 hours. These are the closest sites to your community.

They have a big job ahead of them with the storm surveys. The longer length tracks are going to run from about Solebury, PA to Hamilton Square, NJ. It looks like there were touchdowns near Lakehurst, NJ and Barnegat, NJ. The track across south central NJ could be longer because much of it was in less populated and heavily wooded areas so no immediate reports are available. The more violent tornado(s) near Bensalem and Trevor had shorter tracks. There are also shorter tracks to be possibly documented near Allentown. If you have not already done so look at the video posted by Newman on the Philly sub forum of the spectacular tornado near Lebanon, PA. I am basing my comments upon the live radar reports that I saw on NBC 10 yesterday evening. Those folks did a good job tracking these storms.

Have not seen any reports yet about rain amounts from Allentown. Had 0.68” here.

I am thinking they find EF2 perhaps EF3 damage in Bucks Cty after they complete the surveys. The upside if there is any is they will not have to travel too far from the WFO to do this.

Mt. Holly did a fantastic job with timely warnings yesterday. Amazing video coming out this morning of the damage in Bucks Cty. Very fortunate that there were no deaths or serious injuries that occurred from the tornados moving through these densely populated areas.

Pay attention to that line moving SE from northern PA. That should reach NW NJ in another hour or so and it looks healthy right now.

The damage paths from these tornadoes extend all the way SE from near me in the Allentown/Bethlehem area to the Trenton area and then across NJ. There are places only a few miles from my location that have damage. Mt. Holly is going to have an enormous job documenting all this. It is conceivable that there could be 50 miles or more of verifiable tornado damage on the ground in their CWA.

I do not ever remember something like this in the region. Last tornado of the night is only now moving off shore near Barnegat, NJ.

New tornado warning near Manahawkin, NJ

I am watching live coverage of storm damage in Bucks Cty PA on the app for NBC 10. It looks like a scene out of the Deep South.

New tornado warning for Ocean Cty, NJ. Area under the gun is just NW and N of Lakehurst NJ

Multiple search and rescues underway along Old Lincoln Hwy in Bensalem PA

Strongest couplet looks to be just south of Willingboro NJ.
