Minnesota Meso Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Last one. Very interesting pic, the last one. The sign was bent about 45°, the tree in the back ground at first glance looks unscathed, but upon further inspection it looks like about 25-30ft above ground the branches are twisted around each other. IMO that structure just behind that tree was lucky. I don't believe this could be straight line wind damage with the tree behind showing branches twisted around each other. Possible strong EF-1 damage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible strong EF-1 damage?? Yup, was rated EF1. 1.25 mile path length, 1/4 mile wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Meso Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Yup, was rated EF1. 1.25 mile path length, 1/4 mile wide. ok Thanks, but here is my question, was it rated a strong EF-1 or weak EF-1 , my best guess a strong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMolineuxLM1 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 This is the address of the Wawa we filmed at 204 connolly road, Fallston, MD 21047. Right in the path of the EF1 tornado we were in. You can see clearly with google earth street maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see clearly with google earth street maps. I'm wondering what will happen up here after the omega block weakens. If you want to chase in a photo friendly area of the county that most don't know about, pick the I-90 corridor across southern MN, it's a prime chase area 30 miles east of Rochester MN to the west from there to the SD/MN border. Good road networks and a very good sight line. But please stay away from eastern Filmore County, all of Houston county and Winona County in far southeast MN. Crazy stuff happens in the bluff country, up slope and down slope winds are strong and the road network follows the bluffs, No east, west, north or south road networks.

kpantz Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Dude - I was coming up the coast (probably somewhere off the NJ shoreline) last night on a Disney Cruise ship when we were greeted by the leftovers from all this fun. It was late, and I was tired, but the ship was rocking more than it did all week (including being on the fringe of Beryl) and the lightning was intense. Figures that I'd miss all the wx fun while on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I was driving/navigating and Lee filmed. Go ahead man, it's no problem at all. I agree share away man. I also posted on my facebook and linked Ryan so his friends can see it that Tornado Chase video the full 9 minute segment. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 NAM may be right too, moving SE into NW PA. hail should be the main threat. Frz layer is around 750mb, so about 10,000ft up. Any storm base that punches over that 10,000ft frz level could contain hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will have to say that we are in one hell of a drought now in Macungie and this map proves that it will continue. Ah ah. I really believe that 6-10 inches of rain in the past two weeks is a real eye opener. God I hope we do not have an Agnes type of storm come up the spine of the Apps or we are in deep sh*& for flooding. Got to get back to building my ark.

dryslotted Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hahaha Lee and Ryan Timmer! anyone think they looked at each other and held hands thelma and louise style when they realized they were driving into a tornado? j/k guys... question on what may come through later, it looks similar to what approached the area last Sunday, which many referred to as an MCS. Would this be another example of one, or just showers associated with the low? Struggling a bit with how to make the differentiation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats causing this is the storm that affected us friday night had a primary that went to the great lakes and a 2ndry that went into new england. Due to the extreme negative nao block the low is blocked from moving out. So what you get is an h5 cutoff low over the lakes that has pieces of vorticity that pin wheel around that low. Those showers are associated with a piece of energy. Once the heating of the day continue you will notice more cumulous clouds form as we will reach our convective temperature and you will also more storms pop up initially north and west of the region which will move through the region later on this afternoon. Each day with the heating of the sun and those spokes of energy rotating around the lows we will get afternoon shower and storms. Some days will be stormier than others, depends how strong the energy is.Below is the latest surface map where you can see the parked lows.

NaoPos Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Any reports from those cells in the Lehigh valley? Tombo has been spot on lately this week ladies and gents. Nice job brother. Cumulous field growing nicely, @ or about 500-750 cape values in the area. Little dry out there, but we have some shear of 25-30knts working its way in. Solid 6.5 degree lapse rates at the mid levels and 7-8 degree low levels lapse (thank you cold pool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the heating from the sun, the 500-750 cape combined with the cold pool are igniting these storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 penny sized hail with the storm coming down 422 (nothing here locally IMBY) but it's probably in the low 60's out now. Very nice afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
