We're not supposed to even get anything until Wedneday evening into Thursday. Unknown why you expected something already.

Really?

I could have swore i seen this area (east central PA) right on the border for 15% chance of wind and hail damage ...at the very least a 5 % and a 2 % chance of a tornado...

Granted these are all slight chances.. but tomorrow is no greater then a 15 % chance either....

The timing is less-than-ideal for I-95 and west since the front will be moving in Thursday midday. If the NAM is right and the front is after 2 PM we're golden around here. Looks like Mount holly in their afd is riding on an earlier frontal passage (GFSish).

The later the front, the better for Philly and west.

We had three storms roll through Pittston this evening. The first one was the most intense-It hit around 10pm. We had a 62 mph wind gust reported at my tv station WNEP in Moosic. Also NWS Binghamton (who I commend for their severe coverage so far this season) reports trees on houses in the Back Mountain with 70 mph winds. 2 inch hail also fell in counties to my west and lots of flash flooding up north. A wild night. The 10 pm storm had lightning visible as soon as it got dark with the storms a good 50 miles to my west still....that was the best light show I have seen in quite some time.

mt. holly's thoughts about tomorrow:

THE BIG PROBLEM IN THE SHORT TERM IS THURSDAY...WHEN THE SLOW-MOVING

COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AND MOVE INTO AND

THEN THROUGH OUR AREA LATER IN THE DAY AND IN THE EVENING. RAIN AND

SOME STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM. SEE THE HYDROLOGY

SECTION BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING THE FLOOD WATCH FOR THURSDAY.

REGARDING WINDS, IT IS THOUGHT THAT ANY STRONG WINDS WILL BE IN

THE PROXIMITY OF STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS...AND THUS WILL LIKELY BE

HANDLED BY CONVECTIVE PRODUCTS. SPC HAS PLACED OUR ENTIRE AREA IN

A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY. RAINFALL MAY BE

THE BIGGER ISSUE THURSDAY THOUGH...AS SHOWERS AND LOW-TOPPED

CONVECTION MAY TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS OR BE SOMEWHAT STEADY-

STATE FOR A TIME, SINCE THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW- MOVING.

ALSO...UPPER WINDS WILL NOT HAVE MUCH OF A DIRECTIONAL CHANGE, SO

SHOWERS MAY TEND TO BE STEERED OVER THE SAME AREAS FOR A PERIOD OF

TIME.

THE FRONT SHOULD EASE AWAY EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT, WITH CONTINUING

RUNOFF THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE LARGER

RIVERS BY THEN. ANOTHER BUT WEAKER SURFACE FRONT IS LIKELY TO

ROTATE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY COINCIDENT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH,

BUT ANY ADDITIONAL EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MINIMAL IN THE COOLER

AND LESS UNSTABLE AIRMASS

not sure if you heard this.. but it related to this system in the conus:

Roy Oswalt leaves Philadelphia Phillies for personal reasons." He will be back. They aren't stating the obvious in this article about a tornado leveling his home town. He will be back, give him time.

We may have a good shot at, at least garden variety stuff today, tons of storms moving NE at us from VA and such.

I knew something was up when I observed stratform rain this am. But yes, def good chances. sunw as out, very humid, cap broke.. here

s pic of that cellt that moved over philly. Im located in Upper Darby, so it just missed to our south and east:

some parameters... no wonder the cell took a hook shape for a few frames.

ALl favorable.. but forcing isnt too strong yet. but with storms approaching, let's see what we can squeeze out.

Mid lapse rates arent too favorable:
