PottercountyWXobserver Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Any body know where I can look at hail core radar, or how to determine where the hail core is within the cell. I know the weather channel has hail core radar but dunno where I can go to see stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Watch out for the majority of C and W PA. E gets a HWO for slight chance of severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Anyone seen that Storm Chasers show on Discovery? I ask because those guys are parked down the street from my parents house in Texas today. They are in "extremely high" level criteria for tornadoes later today. Had 20 within 40 miles of them or something last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Reed, TIV or Twisterx? I honestly don't know, dad saw it at lunch and just said it was a big aluminum car with a radar thingy on top and Discovery Storm Chasers logos on it. I don't watch the show myself, too much nonsense drama not related to storms for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 IIRC he said just aluminum, so I'm guessing grey? When we talked I was focused more on my family not dying in storms today. Usually in that area when "very high" tornado activity is possible ... they have very serious problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clouds Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Are any thunderstorms going to make it into south central PA tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well I have thunderstorms all around me but I haven't seen anything severe yet. Hopefully I can get more t-storm development just west of Dubois. Still haven't heard from anyone yet, but does anyone know where I can see a hail core radar like the experts have?

canderson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 It's not every day you see NWS wording like this, which is out of the Shreveport, La., station closest to my parents in East Texas. Severe thunderstorms with a chance of "violent" tornados and large hail are expected to move across East Texas early afternoon, Shreveport National Weather Service officials said. "We have a high risk of tornados, EF two or greater, with wind gusts up to 30 or 40 mph," NWS Meteorologist Bill Parker said. Gotta love East Texas spring storms!

Your probably going have to pay for it. I'm unaware of any 3d programs that are offered for free. The most widely used one seems to be the GRLx programs. http://www.grlevelx.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hope they are safe, man. Hoping the best. There is a nasty one hitting my house right now, has a definite hail core in it. I just drove out into that one with my roommate. Got off at the Port Matilda exit and then got on 322W. A mile or so from the Port it began hailing, so I got off and stopped under an overpass. Hailed for about 5 minutes or so, mostly pea and dime sized stuff, a few as large as nickels. I think there may have been some slightly larger hail a little closer to Port Matilda. Really intense rainfall rates with it as well...much more than my wipers could handle. Storm looks really menacing from State College looking NE towards Bellefonte.

Worst storm in a few years. AND I MISSED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 My roommate's girlfriend in Lock Haven said they had an intense storm early this evening. Hail, extremely intense rains, and some strong winds. Flooded the parking lot of her apartment complex and knocked down a large tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flooded the parking lot of her apartment complex and knocked down a large tree. blahhh must be nice, I feel left out today, most of the severe storms just missed and I mean just like literally 5-10 miles. Although I can't complain, I'v already have had 2 storms produce hail for me this year eventhough they were just pea size to nickle I'l take it! I wonder how tomorrow is going to set up, looks like a fairly good shot at severe storms again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Pretty good light show just to the south of State College in the past 25 minutes. Storm skirted by just a few miles away once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The church about 1/4 mile from my parents just had the steeple blown off and roof caved in. They've seen three tornadoes on the ground in the past 2 hours and a training line coming again. Those storm chasers should have plenty of footage tonight - they've had upward of 15 different cells within a 60 mile radius apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Quite an active day today, too bad I was at work all afternoon (non-meteo related). I've been hearing that Spruce Creek (far NW Huntingdon county) got hit pretty hard by I think the same cell that got Port Matilda with the hail. Many large trees downed in that area including one on a garage. That area didn't have any storm reports come from there since there seems to be a lack of weather spotters in Huntingdon County as a whole. The storm reports out of Lock Haven are pretty incredible.

My roommate showed me a short cell phone video his girlfriend sent him from Lock Haven. Incredible rainfall rates and wind...appeared that visibility was ~50-70ft and you could hear hail hitting the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
