NaoPos Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 IMpressive: 40-60kt's bulk shear, with widespread 40-50kts vertical shear.. Cape still needs to build back into the region, but if the lift is strong enough, it might be able to overcome this help maintain storms with the shear available. WOuldn't be surprised to see a handful of tornado warnings from now untill sundown: Sun poking back out here, won't take much to build some instability: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is that at ILG? not sure, somewhere in DE. Seems to be too dark to be a rainshaft(which you can see to the left) and then the lowering of the clouds. Again, can't judge rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott W Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I was over in NJ just across the Del. Memorial Bridge having lunch with my sister. We left at 12:30pm because it was getting so dark outside, and I had to make it back to work in Wilmington for a 1pm meeting. Really started raining while I was on the up-ramp part of the bridge, and it was raining so hard you almost could not see the tops of the bridge spans. Coming down the other side it felt like I was on a water-toboggan ride at Hershey Park! Paid the toll and noticed many, many people had pulled off just past the tolls and were waiting it out. Most people in motion had their hazards flashing. Took I-295 to Rt. 141 north. Got to Lancaster Pike and saw branches all over the place, and all the power was out to the lights. Got to a power-less office and was without power til 2:45pm. Many large 6" branches laying on the ground around the site. Will be an interesting ride home to West Chester tonight!

hurricaneschwartz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 NOW THIS! 6ABC.COM Folks: This is either an EF-4 or a downdraft/downburst. Since we don't get tornadoes that large, and since this was in a highly populated area with no better pictures than we've already seen, and since NWS had 20 spotters in the area that saw no tornado, we need better evidence than this stuff. Just called NWS and they're not even planning to send anyone to inspect the damage. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Just pretty much a soaking thunderstorm by the time the storm got where I was near Vineland and then back into Buena. Over 1.25 here last I checked, sun back out now, gonna get unstable again fast. And Ralph, I saw that same cloud you saw, was definitely only scud, not a funnel IMO. Nothing down here was anywhere near severe at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Glenn, I should have been a bit more selective with my wording when titling that picture. Just wanted to point out a cool looking pic, regardless of tornadic activity or not. "NOW THIS" is more or lesss internet slang for pretty cool. and with the Couplet picture that was posted earlier, it wasn;t entirely outta the question. But i see what you're saying, and that should be clearly stated when looking at that picture. miscommunication on my behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricaneschwartz Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Wasn't picking on you, just the general frenzy of "tornado" reports in Wilmington, followed by pictures such as that. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail to 1.5 inches in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts to 70 mph... and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.

Remember... a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. Other watch information... continue... ww 753... ww 754... Discussion... isolated intense thunderstorms continue to strengthen along weak front moving across PA/NY. A narrow corridor of heating ahead of the storms... coupled with relatively strong winds aloft... may be sufficient for scattered damaging wind and hail occurrences this afternoon and early evening. Aviation... a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450.

Thunder Road Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Those storms seem to be expanding north. The sun is out here again, now 78.1 and rising. Since they're on the border between KDIX and KCCX, it's hard to tell the severity of them, but given the sunshine now, they could continue to develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
