Scotty Lightning Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The sky was pretty dark to my north and west before from that tornadic cell....too much haze here to take pics though. Lots of reports of trees into houses in the Crestwood Village section of Whiting(north of Route 530) A tree went into this house apparently: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=67+hudson+parkway+whiting+nj&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89c172369d7ee155:0x4468148bf79c8881,67+Hudson+Pkwy,+Manchester,+NJ+08759&gl=us&ei=LWQCTrzyJIH10gGN9dTFDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One case there was 3 houses in a row each with a tree on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 In Manchester Twp, Whiting section somewhere, Mike. Unknown for sure. A ton of damage down there too, trees, structural, everything. Thanks for the info. Some of the storms today were beasts!! By the way, our radar took a hit from a downburst (but did not skip a beat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 There was no wind at the New Egypt Speedway during the TOR warned cell. Management says a LOT of lightning and it got "dark, really dark, really effn dark" and it rained as heavy as they ever seen it rain there. But they told me it never got windy nor did it hail. Looked like it may have missed by a mile or two down route 528. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Lightning Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Some pics from Manchester Patch...only two. That still doesn't do justice whether it was straight line winds or a weak tornado. http://manchester-nj.patch.com/articles/reports-say-tornado-seen-in-whiting-causes-car-crash#photo-6701944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that picture its impossible to tell what it is. I know-that pic looks like either scud, or could have been a rain shaft, or maybe even a tornado. There needs to be more Skywarn spotters in Monmouth County then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well that was fun to track for a couple of hours. Nice directional shear today and it was very noticeable on the visible satellite loops earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Going to be a tough day to get clearing for diurnal heating. Maybe they'll burn off in a bit. in hindsight, already sb cape is increasing: and already, more shear in place then yesterday: vertical shear: mt holly;s thoughts on the 331am update. Seem to be in line with what i was showing above: IT MAY TAKE A WHILE FOR THE FRONT TO BEGIN TO MOVE FURTHER NORTH AS WE SHOULD BE UNDER A THICK CIRRUS VEIL MOST OF THE MORNING DUE TO CONVECTION UPSTREAM AND HEATING IS DELAYED A COUPLE OF HOURS. DRIER AIR HAS PUSHED IN ALOFT UNDER A SOUTHWEST FLOW AS REGIONAL SOUNDINGS SHOW PWATS HAVE DROPPED TO AROUND 1.5" TO OUR SOUTH...TRAINING STORMS WOULD BE THE ONLY THING TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING AT THIS POINT. CONVECTIVE LAYER FLOW, MUCH LIKE ON WEDNESDAY, SEEMS TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY THOUGHT SO ANY STORMS THAT DO FIRE UP SHOULD MOVE RELATIVELY QUICKLY THROUGH. BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO NEAR 40 KNOTS SO STORMS WILL TEND TO BE BETTER ORGANIZED AND WILL LIKELY START TO SPIN...HAVING THE WARM FRONT ACT AS THE LIFT ONLY AIDES IN SPINNING STORMS. THREAT FOR TODAY STILL REMAINS TO BE GUSTY WINDS, LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS.-- End Changed Discussion -- spc probs are 2% tor/15% wind and hail disco: A FEW CLUSTERS OF STRONG...AND PERHAPS EVEN BRIEFLY SEVERE...STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SHIFT EWD THIS MORNING ACROSS NY/ERN PA...WITHIN WARM CONVEYOR BELT OF UPPER TROUGH. THE SHEAR IS SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED STORMS AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY ON 12Z ALB SOUNDING INDICATES MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL IS POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH EARLY MORNING VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CONSIDERABLE CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA...WHERE SOME SUNSHINE/HEATING OCCURS WITHIN MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER...MLCAPES WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 1500 J/KG...AND STRONGER IN TN VALLEY WHERE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE STEEPER. WITH THIS DESTABILIZATION...APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH/SURFACE FRONT SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT FOR SCATTERED STORMS. DESPITE THE UNIDIRECTIONAL WSWLY FLOW...40-50 KT MID LEVEL WINDS WILL RESULT IN EFFECTIVE SHEAR BETWEEN 30-40 KT. THIS SHEAR/ /INSTABILITY COMBINATION SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR MULTICELLS AND A FEW ROTATING STORMS...WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE MAIN THREATS THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.

SouthernNJ Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 As was surmised by most of the folks here, straight-line winds did occur in Northern Ocean County: NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 535 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2011 ..STRAIGHT-LINE WIND DAMAGE NEAR WHITING NEW JERSEY... A METEOROLOGIST FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS SURVEYED THE STORM DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED YESTERDAY...WEDNESDAY JUNE 22...NEAR WHITING NEW JERSEY. HE DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS. THESE WINDS WERE ESTIMATED AT A MAXIMUM OF 75 MPH. NO TORNADO WAS INDICATED. MOST OF THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN THE CRESTWOOD VILLAGE AREA. APPROXIMATELY 10 TREES WERE UPROOTED. TWO OF THEM FELL ON HOUSES AND CAUSED SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. A NUMBER OF LARGE TREE LIMBS WERE ALSO BLOWN DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Anyone following the gust front on radar? Rather interesting today as the warm front was up in northern New Jersey but all the convection earlier in the day north of the front cooled the air enough where it pushed the warm front southward as a cold front. The boundary looks to be stalling now but it has made for an interesting aviation forecasting shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
