stormspotterlive Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Looks like we have our line of storms forming along the front to the west but it is slowly moving east. Currently Instability is increasing out ahead of it and many areas are Near 80 degrees. I am Currently at 78.4 here in Northeast Philadelphia Might be close weather or we get to 80 here in the city today. Lets see what this line of storms does could be the first good Lighting show of the season for us this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlurker Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 winds and a bit o' rain finally started here (in Middletown, DE) at around 8:45. Anyone know when the precip rates pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlurker Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 For an impending Nor'easter for the first time in six months, it sure is quiet in here. I guess no one has any new/interesting information. For all my fellow Philly+ posters, I wish you luck with some much needed precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't have a camera capable of photographing lightning. What kind of camera do you have? Can you adjust the settings and shoot manually? If so, you CAN photograph lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 What kind of camera do you have? Can you adjust the settings and shoot manually? If so, you CAN photograph lightning. Point and shoot digital camera, but I haven't used it in over a year. Usually I use my phone's camera because I don't care about quality when I photograph things.

dryslotted Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We got some really cool thunder and lightning with that severe cell that came through Burlington County last night. The main show was SE of me, but we still got some really close shots that made me and the wife jump in our seats a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
