    If you look at the mesoscale models it becomes clearer. The winds mix down more effectively near the coast due to the lack of obstructions including hills, mountains, trees, structures, etc. Where we are in eastern PA there are landmass related obstructions to our south which impede the ability of the atmosphere to mix down the stronger winds from aloft. East of here when you look at a map showing where NYC/LI/coastal NJ are situated there is mostly open ocean or low lying coastal areas to their south. The result is the atmosphere can more effectively mix down those stronger winds from aloft. If you want to experience stronger winds out here you need elevation.

    We are up to 2.00” on the day. Have been getting pounded during the past hour. Lots of lightning including CTG. Was just out and saw some good CTG strikes close up. We may not have received the wind but these thunderstorms mean business here.

    The core of those 50 dbz echoes moving near Allentown just passed over me. No strong winds mixing down. No lightning or thunder. Highest gust was about 18 mph. I did pick up a quick 0.60” of rain to bring my daily total to 1.59”.

    Winds have gone real light as those heavy echoes just south of Allentown start to move over me. Satellite dish is out so it will certainly pour if nothing else.

    That bow looks to be heading in the general direction of Flemington and the I287 area of central NJ in the next 30 minutes.

    I am looking forward to seeing how strong the winds will be with this when it reaches my location in about 20 minutes.

    Interesting feature. The actual cold front is following just behind the squall line. With that feature the temp just dropped 7 degrees and I had a wind gust to 38 mph.

    Swing and a miss out here. Brief hard downpour with a wind gust to 25 mph and 0.25” of rain.

    That bow echo near Allentown is coming in now to my location.
  10. Tatamy
    I am seeing lightning flashes in the distance as it approaches.

    Squall line is at my doorstep now - looks good on radar.
  12. Tatamy
    Highest wind gust here is 30 mph in the past ten minutes. Wind gusts along the south shore of LI (Fire Island) currently gusting to 45 mph.

    Severe Thunderstorm warnings out here for the expected winds with this squall line. I am not presently detecting lightning with it.
  14. Tatamy
    You will see some impressive winds with the squall line in a few minutes as a bow echo passes you.
  15. Tatamy
    Wind gust to 63 mph reported at Altoona, PA with the passage of the squall line. Wind gusts of between 20 - 30 mph are occurring ahead of this feature across eastern PA at this time.

    That was the year of our Thanksgiving snowstorm with 4.7” in Central Park on 11/23/89.
  17. Tatamy
    My max here has been 37 mph at 9:25 and 10:05.

    Wind is howling out here in eastern PA with the passage of the cold front. Wind gusts to 33 mph within the past 15 minutes.

    06z GFS has it east of Cape Hatteras at 348 hours. 12z GFS has it west of Key West at 342 hours. It’s an interesting thought anyways...

    0.09” Event total in Bethlehem Twp. PA

    Same out here. I am a native LIer and can tell you that there was an early season Arctic air mass that impacted the area back around 1974/1975. This event produced high temperatures in the 40s and lows of about 30 on the north shore of LI during mid October at that time. For the time of year it was impressive. In any case I have personally never seen frost anywhere this early in the season until today.
  22. Tatamy
    35 out here with patchy frost in the area.
  23. Tatamy
    Any one take notice of the shadowing effect on the cloud deck caused by the easterly flow drying out slightly as it crossed LI and NYC extending into eastern PA. This has been seen on visible satellite almost all day. This is not something that I can recall seeing.

    This line is a fast mover but is not producing anything significant here except for a torrential downpour. Minimal CTC and no significant wind as the 50 DBZ echoes pass directly over me. 0.65” in the rain gauge with this line so the mesoscale models did well with rain amounts with this feature today.

    This line is putting out a lot of lightning right now as it comes out of the Poconos. It is producing 2-4 strikes per second according to my Tempest.
