Reports of a microburst or possible weak tornado in south Allentown. Trees and wires down everywhere just north of the Lehigh Street exit off I-78.

That’s what I suspected too. The flashes were on the horizon and none of them lit up the whole sky. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that around here, especially 3 times in 2 minutes like I just did.

That line was pretty crazy. We didn’t get the 68 mph gust that Reading did but it had to have gusted past 50. Power is still on here, hopefully it stays on. The neighborhoods just to my southeast aren’t so lucky. I think I saw some power flashes from that outage as RadarScope is showing no lightning.

The afternoon stuff looks like it’ll be the main show at this point. The line along the cold front will be some gusty winds and nothing more.

A lot of the mesos fail to advance the most favorable severe parameters past Berks/Lebanon counties tomorrow. This doesn’t diminish the wind threat much but the chance for supercells could be confined to central PA.

Ya know what, if it’s gonna be cold, give us more snow. Cold and dry this time of year is brutal. Snow at least makes it a little more interesting. Plus the cleanup doesn’t take as long with the sun angle helping melt the snow very quickly this time of year.

SPC put out an enhanced risk towards the Suquehanna River area. Would not be surprised to see that expanded north and east in later outlooks.

Steady light snow in Allentown. Not sticking to anything. We need it to get heavier to coat the grass and cars.

Whole lot of virga in Allentown right now. We did get a bit of sleet earlier though.

The snow pile at the end of my neighbor's driveway has finally melted. All that's left is the piles in parking lots.

Looks like it did! Seeing some lightning to the north for the first thunderstorm of the year!

Snowpack is officially gone. There’s a shady spot in my yard that still had some remnants left. Today’s rain washed that away. All that’s left now is the pile at the end of my driveway. Overall a very impressive duration, I had snow on the ground there for a month and a half straight.

0z mesos are way less amped with Sunday’s little wave which makes it cold enough for snow down to I-78. Gonna be interesting to see if that trend continues.

I swear this stuff always happens at the exact moment we all get sick of the snow and cold.

Major agreement for this on the globals and ensembles now. It looks like we could have an extended period of 60s and 70s starting late next week.
