Thunder Road Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Boy the HRRR is crapping the bed today wrt convection, especially in South Jersey. It has some nice-looking stuff crashing south through the western burbs around 02-03z, but who knows really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum lawman Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 That MCS is really lighting off in western pa. Let's see it can keep its act together getting here. Yea, it just may take too much of a southern route and miss us to the west, it seems to be turning that way. More locally, shocking that allentown is getting it again. I was going to post this morning that I didn't know how much coverage todays convection would have but I would guarantee that someone within 20 miles of Allentown gets hammered which seems to be developing. Also, totally unrelated, but Beryl doesn't look too terrible on radar, for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 That MCS is really lighting off in western pa.

Tom Timmer, Are you going to live stream and core punch when you intercept?!!! On a more serious note, I share your concerns. Better yet, I would if we stabilize too much after dark and we get nothing. RAP keeps us dry here in SE PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeffsvilleWx Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 we have good instability around, my only issue is timing as it will be after dark when it gets here. my guess is that the Appalachians will eat it up before reaching the Susquehanna valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 my guess is that the Appalachians will eat it up before reaching the Susquehanna valley if this was winter and it was a clipper yes....not sure if the reason why it dies is because the apps. Mcs's are just very rare around here. More common out in western pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More common out in western pa. just something I have observed. The apps seem to kill a lot of systems. It seems the best pattern for t-storms in my area is when they form west and travel east.

LMolineuxLM1 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 its possible...most of the models have this weakening to nothing before it gets to the philly area. You can clearly see how bad this thing is taking a beating by the mountains currently, it looks like its going through a paper shredder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 instability has really slackened off around here, that will probably be the downfall of the mcs once to the lns rds line...LI is barely -3 at phl, higher west...cape is still decent, though it looks like some what of an onshore flow is carving the instability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 my guess, in looking at the instability charts on spc, once this gets to the lns to abe line this will start dying fast...looks like their is some kind of onshore flow in the atmoshpere above the surface that is killing the instability around here.

tombo82685 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 That's a safe bet Tom. It's been the case the last couple of nights. well yesterday was because the winds aloft blew the t storms cloud tops out ahead of the storms which killed all the instability..

Blizzard92 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Storm beginning to weaken here around Harrisburg. Wind gusts were not generally over 30mph, no lightning/thunder, and rain is not very heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Storm beginning to weaken here around Harrisburg. Wind gusts were not generally over 30mph, no lightning/thunder, and rain is not very heavy. The MCS is holding strength fine, 87 mph with roofs off houses reported in Chambersburg. Lightning isn't a good factor in determining whether an MCS is weakening or not, it's a crapshoot whether they're accompanied by a lot of it.

Lightning isn't a good factor in determining whether an MCS is weakening or not, it's a crapshoot whether they're accompanied by a lot of it. Yea, thanks, I understand lightning has no determination for the intensity of a thunderstorm. Winds were not a factor here in the central parts of Dauphin county excluding a few limbs down. The complex has definitely begun to weaken as evidence by the latest returns. I know spotters east of Chambersburg and they vouched only wind gusts around 40mph recorded in their area. That wind gust was likely localized in nature. According to current scanner feed, only a few trees down in the area with the more widespread power outages and trees down more displaced towards west-central Pennsylvania around the Indiana and Clearfield county area.
