Parsley Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hey where are these shots taken which park as that looks like a great place to film from. Perkiomen Valley Schools (Behind the High School where all the ball fields/playgrounds are located) on Rt. 29 between Collegeville and Schwenksville. You are right about the view, it sits up on a hill over 100 feet higher than most locations facing south, north or east. Best views are definetely looking east.

Thunder Road Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The HRRR is developing the stuff up in northern PA into a broken line segment that drops south through the burbs around 21z. SPC has us in a 5% for both wind and hail. With MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/Kg over Eastern PA, severe hail seems at least possible, although lapse rates throughout the column are generally unimpressive, so that will be a limiting factor. The lack of shear though will be the real killer, as SPC mentions in their new MD: DISCUSSION...OVERALL STORM ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE LIMITED BY LACK OF GREATER FLOW ACROSS THE REGION WITH UPSTREAM VWP DATA DEPICTING DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AOB 10KT. HOWEVER...LIFT ALONG THE FRONT WAS MOVING INTO A WARM AND UNCAPPED AIRMASS WHERE MLCAPE VALUES HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE 1500-2000 J/KG RANGE. THESE FACTORS MAY OFFSET THE LACK OF STRONGER SHEAR SO THAT ISOLATED CELLS COULD BRIEFLY ATTAIN SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL NEAR 1 INCH. ATTM...SEVERE STORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN TOO LIMITED FOR A WATCH. http://www.spc.noaa..../md/md0908.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 KDIX is indicating 5.00" of rain in the last hour north of Stroudsburg. I'm a bit skeptical of that amount, but even half of that in just an hour is definitely significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 KDIX is indicating 5.00" of rain in the last hour north of Stroudsburg. I'm a bit skeptical of that amount, but even half of that in just an hour is definitely significant. Wouldn't surprise me to see a 3" report come in given the humidity and movement of the cell, but I join your suspicion of the 5" pixel. EDIT: I noticed a new AWOS in eastern Chester County on my GR feed. It's coded KOQN, anyone know what this airport is / when this was added?

phlwx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 watch info http://www.spc.noaa....tch/ww0300.html FWIW, I probably would have thrown Chester County in that watch as well for continuity and playing it safe. If you're going to throw Bucks and Montco in and Lancaster from CTP is in, Chester should be in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to throw Bucks and Montco in and Lancaster from CTP is in, Chester should be in as well. I'm rather surprised they went with 75 mph winds (rather than the baseline 70 mph) but only 1" diameter hail (whereas 2" is usually the baseline for a WW, they could have at least done 1.5").
