Thunder Road Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Going to be another day of disappointment here in New Castle county. Things keep pulsing up to my SW and then quickly dying off. Radar is horribly blank in general down towards Balt/DC....dew points are falling. What a waste of a week. yup. DP is 74. how dry! it's like the Sahara out there! Too bad there isn't a cold front plowing into 2000 J/Kg of SBCAPE or anything like that. Oh well, so boring. Seriously nobody cares about whether or not your backyard gets a thunderstorm, and it's not automatically a region-wide bust if your backyard doesn't get a massive hit. Now you and all the rest of the my-yard-is-so-dry weenies need to shut up </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It's also interesting how you can clearly see a boundary moving through SNJ on KDIX. Has the warm front (actually now a cold front) sagged that far south? It looks too long to be outflow from the earlier storms in Monmouth and Ocean but I guess it could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love people calling bust 5 hours before the watch even ends. The front is NOT moving hardly at all. But this type of whining is nothing new from some in this subforum. And usually they get hit a few hours later. And funny how some people don't learn even after being 5 posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehens Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've got 85/68 here which is basically a normal summer day and nothing special. Winds were actually coming out of the N for a while and have shifted to the W so the front may actually be close to being through as many in the MA forum believe. Cold front is weak and disorganized. Except for one single cell the ENTIRE state of of MD is devoid of storms as is most of NOVA so to me things look rather bleak here. North of the PA line may do well but I just think below that we won't see anything. I never said it was a region-wide bust....I specifically referenced NCC and how we haven't seen anything of note all week really...a few run of the mill thundershowers. yup.

bluehens Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 That is my point exactly....the front is on the doorstep of the DE river/bay already and nothing much of note has happened and I don't expect it will down this way. Dp has dropped 3 degrees to 65 within the past hour. Of course those areas are devoid of storms. They're BEHIND the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 That severe cell up in Mercer County has pushed out an OFB, and the WF has stalled just north of me around the Atlantic/Bulington County line. Could be an interesting factor, SPC mentioned the cells possibly rotating in and around the WF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 We have not had any severe storms in the Edison so far this season. Hopefully July brings some activity We joke at work that there is a dome over edison. Lol. Just seems like it always misses us.

Only conclusion I get is that it is associated with Edison being near the bay or ocean. we can't even enjoy a sea breeze storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
