Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Jns2183 replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Here is a PDF of every tornado, severe storm, flood warning CTP issued May 25-28, 2011. To say they were busy with being understatement it's 345 pages. Page 136 and I think page 305 give or take five pages is where some good stuff is. I'm hosted on my Google drive so here's a link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rZ-v0WQLuBEK60otdrIPOwoibLsrBwgf/view?usp=drivesdk It was made by IEM raccoon https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/raccoon/?wfo=CTP&radar=CCX&product=N0Q&wtype%5B%5D=FF&wtype%5B%5D=SQ&wtype%5B%5D=SV&wtype%5B%5D=TO&year=2011&month1=5&day1=10&hour1=0&month2=3&day2=27&hour2=23 Outside is the greatest thing ever in existence for weather data. Australia spent 20 hours exploring it and I'm just now starting to understand everything it can do it truly is the best thing out there by far. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

We can cross off the good old tornado watch to accumulating snow in under 12 hours off the bucket list. I can imagine this happening in a plains a lot more often than out here Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

If only we had some winter of 2010 type blocking stalling that front out right now and a small little shortwave riding up the front at the sc/nc border and a little gun powder via upper air low flying in from the southwest we would feasting because that shortwave would be also with this baraclinic boundary. 30 miles 30; degrees. On that fanciful note the snow is starting to mix in @MAG5035 When is the last time I set up like that had us cash in? Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The frontal storms were far worse wind wise. I had the pleasure of being outside when it hit due to a little huskey puppy that after taking a deuce decided the cool breeze was too good to leave despite the rain and took off running around the yard. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Hopefully I have enough time to like to sit down stitch those weirdos together for for 2011. The archive goes back to 1995. So if you have other dates your interested in let me know. I've spent the last month on a learning binge trying to piece together the ridiculously fragmented data and archive environment of weather data available and tools as well. Far more daunting then I thought but I produced basically 30 pages of a guide for myself. I think in going to take on trying to get a copy of AWIPS the nws made public to run on an AWS server so that I can run out the graphics power necessary to run it per hour use basis. 20 bucks a month is a lot better than spending $5,000 to build something that can run it. That's the main software that is that the workstations of the national weather service that brings in all the desperate data feeds that they've almost made totally public now. I even got authorization to use part of there MADIS feed Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

I never saw such green sky or have such an feeling something was off. But I was young and dumb so of course I stayed on a porch and watched funnel go pretty damn close above me. It touched down not long after Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Here is a link to the raw base reflectivity files. You have to follow the directions below the view them and I can't until I get back home today. It's a bit of a process. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/has/HAS012685643/0001/ Link above is the directory to them I'm hoping to have the velocity ones a bit later Since these are raw data files, you will need one of the following free tools to view the actual radar images: NOAA Weather and Climate Toolkit (Recommended): This is the official software from NOAA. It is a Java-based desktop app that allows you to drag and drop these files and turn them into maps, animations, or even export them as Google Earth (KML) files. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/weather-climate-toolkit Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Outside a tropical system the only times around here I've experienced true severe has been when we have a stong NW flow, dewpoint in upper 60's+. Temperature right around 80, and a clear almost bright skies under a solid cap till late afternoon when a huge jet stream slams into us causing upper air divergence and extremely rapid storm development 30-50 miles to my northwest. Outside of those very particular circumstances it's meh Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The old two mile wide long track ef4 going over the absolute most mountainous terrain in Pennsylvania like it was Alabama. If you ever get a chance to go look at some of the re-analysis anamoly for that day in a zoomed in fashion. The amount of absolute bonger values you get actually would almost make that tornado feel inevitable. It's that storm and the ef3 plus damage they found on mountains out west above 10000 feet that makes me laugh when people say they're safe because of the terrain they're in.

I'm with you on this one. Truly what I adore are those June (they cut off lows in the love June for some reason) backdoor cold fronts with a cut off lower where it's drizzling, 60, with a stiff east wind for a few days. Bonus points if it saves us from baking like our friends accross the mountains to the west. I remember once we sat between 56-63 for 3 days while Pittsburgh was in low 90s. I actually felt made for @Voyager who I think was on the verge of driving out there just to spend an hour in the sun. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -
