noctilucent Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 definately not the norm and pretty cool to watch a large warned storm complex heading NW through Bucks county. It's like bizzaro world out there today. Yeah, I don't recently recall a line of such strong T-Storms (I mean the thunder and lighning) coming in from the SE. Heavy rain, yes (when we are on the NW flank of a tropical system, for example). But strong T-Storms from the SE is not very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The only spot i see getting a storm on the models is right in Northern NJ into NYC Philly stays at 0-4 for this week including southern NJ and the best chances are the same areas that got storms over the past few days where it has rained and there is more moisture to work from from the ground. I have had to water our garden section every day this week I was hoping that I wouldnt have to do it as much, but the way things have gone it had to be done by me watering them. Pea sized hail for 30 seconds also winds above 50MPH another LOLz posting, 2nd time in the last week or two.. only if we had weenie tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some power out in the area. Better one was right before that. 3800 block of school, FD got dispatched for a gas leak inside the building. They got there, and it was a burglary in progress apparently. Guy kicked in the back door and doused it with gasoline.... Never lit off though.

stormspotterlive Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yet another day of pop up slow moving storms on tap for our Thursday Models actually have increased instability a bit with stronger cape and lifting compered to the past few days. with the ULL being closer by on Thursday a very Isolated severe storm can not be ruled out but for the most part we are going to see pulse convection again with localized areas see 1 inch+ in short periods of time. 95% of us will not see a severe storm. if you saw a storm yesterday it does not necessarily mean you will see one today. Storms will pop anytime after 11am and priest through out the afternoon into the evening before slowly fizzling out around sun set. The 00Z though keeps storms going into the night for eastern portions of the area. we will just have to wait and see if they can develop into clusters in order for that to happen . you could almost put that 95% in reverse thanks to the MCS LOL!

LMolineuxLM1 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Storm north of Dover might be growing rapidly and is kinda a fast mover compared to the rest of them, so maybe might have something with that as its direction puts it over SE PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormspotterlive Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Looks like another round of storms developing to the south in MD and DE will try and effect the Philadelphia metro area this evening a few things due stand out that make me think perhaps an isolated strong cell can not be ruled out. 1. Low level laps rates are still some what decent not the best in the world but will get the job done. 2. We still have a fair amount of instability around due to the return of sun shine for most that had the MCS this afternoon. In some places temps have risen back to near 80 degrees. 3. we still have a strong vortext/ shortwave near by enhancing storms. Best chance for storms to return would be between 6 and 9pm after 9pm convection should slowly die down as the atmosphere slowly stabilizes however elevated instability may persist into the night.

NaoPos Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you check out kdox radar, you can see a little boundary pushing towards the eastern shore of MD, touching off isolated showers storms as it goes. Some meso feature to check out if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
