Grothar Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah, It really is crazy how we get missed here so often. I cannot remember the last time we had a thunderstorm with a good downpour. Unbelievable- the extreme eastern side of the Lehigh Valley to Bucks to Trenton being nailed once again. Sure alot of whining in todays posts, evident of this weird weather pattern. Small shower for me this morning- just enough to get the ground wet. I agree though the donut hole lives on from SE Lehigh County, Montgomery County into Northern Delaware County. These storms form around us and then go around us. This pattern has to end soon. Even for isolated thunderstorms which usually remain stationary, these frickin isolated storms are moving away from us. It has to be Limerick hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Not quite our area but worth backing up my point about the SPC earlier in the thread: Sterling wanted a watch when the SPC didn't (and didn't have them in a slight risk)...Sterling got their watch and magically a slight risk popped up over the watch area. DISCUSSION...ISOLATEDTHUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN FORMING OVER NORTHERN WV AND MD. THESE STORMS WILL SPREAD SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARDACROSS THE WATCH AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DEEP LAYER FLOW ISRATHER WEAK...WHICH WILL LIKELY LIMIT COVERAGE OF INTENSE STORMS. HOWEVER...PERCOORDINATION WITH LOCAL OFFICE...BELIEVE THERE MAY BE SUFFICIENT THREAT OF LOCALLY GUSTY/DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL FOR WATCH ISSUANCE.

phlwx Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 As mentioned by ParanormalWx, SPC's risk outlooks aren't really intended for the public, they're intended for meteorologists. Only their watch boxes are truly intended for the public. That said, yes the wording of "slight risk", "moderate risk" and "high risk" can be confusing to the public... but of course, its not really for them. ...but they are communicated to the public via TV and broadcast media. While the risk area isn't necessarily designed for the public, they are hearing about it/seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cast4 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well would you look at that ! Ocean County is getting hit again. What's new ? What I find unbelievable is how the portion of the line over SEPA just dies and the part in NJ strengthens when parameters are much better over PA.

Scotty Lightning Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 The storm in Toms River is just sitting parallel to Route 37! It is converging with the storm from Monmouth County. Lots of heavy rain, lightning and thunder right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of heavy rain, lightning and thunder right now. Ocean County FD/PD/EMS Communications having major issues right now. The radio room is flooding out, 2 working structure fires ongoing, 1 with double entrapment, from earlier. And now multiple lightning strikes on houses, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally there is some movement with the storms and they are moving south again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storms in Jersey, interacted with the seabreeze front, and exploded, killing the storms to the west. And don't be too quick to whine, look up north near Wilkes-Barre, you're not done by any means tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, if anybody should be whining about this cell in Jersey, its me. It's just far enough away from me, because of the road network between here and there, it would take me at least an hour to get to it. So it's too far to go after. Not the way I work though, whining gets ya nowhere, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find unbelievable is how the portion of the line over SEPA just dies and the part in NJ strengthens when parameters are much better over PA. I didnt get any thunderstorm here at all, cant remember the last one now, still have a ton of footage to go through between both hobbies, so basically my other hobby DX'ing has been taking front and center so i havent been fully tracking things as of late. But it just rained enough to dampen the ground barely wet it. Hopefully this week i will get some good stuff to film, usually the best thunderstorms occur in July till Mid Sept. here so hopefully that will happen.
