I think this is a catskills storm. Will see a few flakes. Church will be empty for the first week of advent. I'm sing a solo for the occasion!

Yes, I was down at the Delaware shore at the time and we lost power for a few hours. Part of my extended family was from NYC so their house was effected too. I remember the weather was cool and quite foggy down at the shore that day, strange because no one in my family remembered it ever being like that in August after spending a week there each year for three decades.

I hope I don't bullseye again. I bring my cat home from an extended stay at the vet. I would rather him just not worry about a thunderstorm while trying to move him. Short range has a variety of solutions on the table. My guess is that this will be a more classical isolated t storm event

10.28" MTD here, amazing what a difference 5 miles can make.

Come ye all one, come ye all plenty!

If Vail doesn't buy it all up first!

My money says the High res GEM is what we see tonight. It seemed to have the best grasp of the heat.

Weathergods: "Shoot, missed 'em by that much" They sure like pushing you around! hehe

Yeah, but the observationals clearly had the signs. A pressure below 29.8, 80% RH and 98F temp.... its like accidentally discovering plutonium.

Interesting, the tops the 160 year old sycamores and poplars are starting to blow about. High was 98F today. Hi Barometer was yesterday around 1:30pm at 30.78.

Hit 98 here today

The Davis says 4.77 inches and a max rain rate of 10.11/hr here in Pottstown (record rate since records began for my station) Commute from Green Lane was hell, took two hours. Had to turn around several times. rt 100 and 663 both closed in spots. Perkiomen, Unami, Manatawny and Swamp Creek all over flood stage.

Quite a wallop here in Green Lane. A few close strikes have cause the lights to momentarily brown before gradually over-brightening (weird) . Between Reading and Pottstown 422 is flooded over the Median. A weir has been made out of the median holding the water on the westbound side.

Broke out some new wiper blades last night, this last batch wore out pretty quickly.

I thought the visible cloud cover looked more fearsome than what the actual storm was, probably why it looked worse on radar too. Is it possible to have a virga tornado?

Got a piece of that line earlier. Some circulation but not quite as tornadic as rounds 1 & 2.

heard the first rumble here in pottstown

Neat photos nature wasn't super revealing but water spouts have always been something of a mystery.

Barometer dropping rapidly. Very still today compared to the last two days, perhaps thats why there is a lower risk of tornados today. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more reports of severe hail today. It will be interesting to see if the second line holds together tonight. Forward velocity seems slower today.

Work lost power. Hopefully the factory will be open tomorrow, PPL doesn't know yet. Supposedly the Quakertown tornado touched down in Fox Hollow golf course which is only about .25 miles from my work. I saw what I thought was just a rotating cell with no touch down. Shoulda chased it!

Looks like im about 3 miles south of the main action

A few dime size stones in Amity Gardens last night at about 6:30 pm

DT is a dog chasing his tail on this 2/5 deal... Candian shows a SECS for some of our neck of the woods taken as literal. Model Mayhem ensues.

Yeah, with things in such dire states in D.C it hard to see any of the pre-sequester stuff coming back anytime soon... We need a pro-technical president triple research funding for space, medical, infrastructure and education. The other thing that bothers me about our country is the cost of college education, it takes all of our technical minds and basically forces them to take jobs at already existing corporations instead of allowing new graduates to try their hand opening their own businesses or going on to graduate school. It literally takes the creative lifeblood out of our economy. How did we lose our momentum from the 1990's? First, we had a moron president... then we got a moron congress ...now we are going to have both. Although we have only ourselves to blame.

I think mount holly has been excellent this season. Im in no way criticizing just trying to understand the prevailing consensus attitude of forecasting using modern models at nws.
