Itstrainingtime Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 TW for guess who, Lancaster County. BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED TORNADO WARNING NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 249 PM EDT SUN JUN 12 2011 THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE PA HAS ISSUED A * TORNADO WARNING FOR... SOUTHEASTERN DAUPHIN COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA... WEST CENTRAL LANCASTER COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA... NORTH CENTRAL YORK COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA... * UNTIL 315 PM EDT * AT 245 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO. THE STORM CONTAINING THE POSSIBLE TORNADO WAS NEAR GOLDSBORO...MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 25 MPH. * THE TORNADO WILL BE NEAR... BAINBRIDGE AND MANCHESTER AROUND 300 PM EDT... ELIZABETHTOWN AROUND 305 PM EDT... MAYTOWN AROUND 310 PM EDT... WHEN A TORNADO WARNING IS ISSUED BASED ON DOPPLER RADAR...IT MEANS THAT STRONG ROTATION HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE STORM. A TORNADO MAY ALREADY BE ON THE GROUND...OR IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SHORTLY. THIS WILL IMPACT THE FOLLOWING CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA INTERSTATES...THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE BETWEEN MILE MARKERS 245 AND 255...I-83 BETWEEN MILE MARKERS 25 AND 36...I-283. Well, as one would guess, I live in Maytown. I've had 5 separate Tornado warnings this season, 2 in the past 19 hours. I can tell all of you that out of all 5 of those storms only twice did we have anything more than what I would call a garden variety thunder shower. This past Thursday night was one of the worst storms I can recall in 45 years living around here. Incredible winds with lots of tree damage all around my immediate area. Last night it was the rain...nearly 4" fell in a 2 hour span from 8pm to 10pm. Today's storm looked far worse on radar than what we ended up with. (here at least) But yeah, we seem to be a "hot spot" for storms, and I can tell you that my girls would be perfectly happy if we didn't see another one until next year...

NaoPos Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Had a buddy down in Harford County, MD when the tornado warned storm came through. He's a fire chief. Said his company in Joppa only rain about 8 storm related calls, various ones, whereas the town over in Abingdon and BelAir rain 50 calls combined roughly due to "straight line wind " damage.

Said his company in Joppa only rain about 8 storm related calls, various ones, whereas the town over in Abingdon and BelAir rain 50 calls combined roughly due to "straight line wind " damage. The wind was enough to sorta shift my car in the Walgreens Parking lot in Aberdeen,MD. That wind was crazy, I have attached a picture of the clouds and such, i still have to extract more stuff out of this. Had some pea sized hail, the sky was a pitch black with a green color and also somewhat of an off blue haze color. Then it just came down with heavy blinding rains and decent lightning. I chased to there I could have made it one more exit if i hadnt ran into horrible traffic at the damn toll that they are fixing for ezpass express lanes.

tombo82685 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 This may be a long shot but i could definitely see it happening. If we can get some thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon that can have some decent cloud tops and puncture through a low freezing level in the atmosphere, there could be some hail storms. Any convection that goes decently strong has a shot at it imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday SPC didn't have us in any general thunderstorm risk, while this thread was talking about possible storms with small hail. I'd say that's a pretty big difference...

tombo82685 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 as of now one storm is being progged for some small hail per wunderground storm tracks in southern jersey. The freezing level in the atmosphere right now is around 12,000-13,000 feet, so storm tops need to build higher than that to have any shot at small hail.
