NaoPos Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I-95 has a shot today... Nowcast in effect. Slight risk just west of 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Radar down in central NC lighting up like an X-mas tree and heading NE.......can it get here by nightfall? It's losing some of its pop...still a nice looking line but not as much red as before... I-95 has a shot today... Nowcast in effect. Slight risk just west of 95. Doubtful on 95 in our area...maybe the western burbs. The SPC nailed their original slight risk zone perfectly for yesterday in this part of PA...they didn't need to adjust east last night.

earthlight Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Got up to 88.6 today...so an official high of 89. Winds went west the last hour, too. Severe potential, I would guess, should be mostly confined to west of the Delaware river. The mid level height field orientation doesn't support organized convection getting much farther east than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Latest HRRR keeps storms west of I-476. Per radar most of them are west of the Susquehanna and moving NE, so I don't know what, if anything, we'll see here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a repeat of yesterday & today, only with weaker severe parameters. I already have my eyes on next Wednesday. The GFS has been timing that fropa nicely, with precip moving in right around 0z for several runs now. CAPE is >3000 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I am totally amazed that others on this board are not commenting on the fact that basically every line of thunderstorms that have formed in western and central pa in the past three days have primarily moved north and little eastward, basically over the same path with the blue mountains being the demarcation line. I have never seen a a blocking pattern like this in years. God, if this was only the winter. I see the path of the thunderstorms moving slightly east tomorrow- just maybe we will see some of that heavy rain in macungie to wash off all of the pollen on my car. No hail- just rain will due. Still waiting for the tropics to get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 few storms moving through the Lake Harmony area……first one is passing to our east a bit and the second should come through behind it. Nice light show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The NWS confirmed that it was an EF-1 Tornado that ripped through the West Penn Park, which I kind of suspected, as straight line winds don't usually snap tree trunks 20 ft up from the ground. According to the Times News newspaper, the tornado was on and off the ground for approximately 18 miles from Cressona to West Penn Township and had winds to 110 mph. West Penn Community Park about 8 miles south of Tamaqua took a pretty good hit last night. In photo #4 with the collapsed pavilion, you can see that the trees surrounding it were snapped off about 15-20 ft above the ground. I wonder if it wasn't a small, short duration tornado that caused the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 There was a pattern just like this at the end of April. It took three days for a front to clear Pennsylvania. Yes there was but it was a normal rain event ----not thunderstorms. Training thunderstorms are just as good as a major snowstorm. Training severe thunderstorms over the coal areas are rare, especially when three tornadoes have hit Schuylkill county in the past couple of days. Sorry to disagree but this is a rare event and should be discussed in more detail on this board. If this was a 24 inch snowfall event- the board would be lit up with three threads discussing the same storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You almost never see these extended SPC outlooks in the Northeast...Wednesday seems like it could be a pretty active day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cast4 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Nice warned storm popped up in Sussex County,DE. Radar indicating 1 inch hail with it. It developed along the Delaware Bay breeze. We are going to need a mesoscale boundary to pop anything today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You almost never see these extended SPC outlooks in the Northeast...Wednesday seems like it could be a pretty active day. Going from 90-95 ahead of the front to the 70's behind it...I'm not surprised. That could be a moderate risk day if parameters come together. #kissofdeath.

LMolineuxLM1 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 despite some random quick showers here and there, Its really becoming very dry around here. My ground in spots is showing cracks in the soil, literally. We havent had to mow the grass since monday and it really hasnt grown at all much due to the lack of regular rain. And plus the resoviors ( how-ever its spelled) are gonna be taking a hit with their levels as people are beginning to fill-up their swimming pools. 2 neighbors on my block just recently filled their in ground pools using their garden hose, so with that, its not good we will have a very dry week ahead with just wednesday with an outside shot at rain.

Dont worry we have a while to go until we have to worry aout it being dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
