stormspotterlive Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Storms starting to strengthen as they run into better vertical shear and strong SB instability. Should be an interesting next 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 No clue man, this stuff has a mind of its own tonight. I'm already crossing into Cape May County now, just trying to get another opinion. It looks like that area that gusted to 76 in Prince Georges County, will impact Cape May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like that area that gusted to 76 in Prince Georges County, will impact Cape May. I'd say is you want potential wind, south is probably better as well. I'd think its more rain/thunder/lightning in SE PA. With that said, I like your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Head towards Cape May or wait for the stuff in PA? Thoughts guys? safe bet would be head towards the cape. It seems the main focus for winds is along the BWI to DC area and points eastward. You might not be too bad from your hometown. I'd go, but just got in from happy hour(s)..lol!

Ry, you might wanna stay north of where you are. The core on the md storms is just ridiculous. But anywhere around you is a safe bet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazwoper Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I just got down to OCNJ. Could be an interesting night down here. That northern core has really blown up in the last 15-20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the Parkway or Route 9 south, Cape May gets pretty crazy this time of the year. I wouldn't even go that far south. You might just want to find a good spot along the Delaware Bay.

dryslotted Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 rain just started here in burlington county, no light show yet though. Looks like it will be pretty tame up this way...

Riptide Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The derecho is not as healthy as it good be, it's spitting outflow boundaries in multiple sections. I think tommorow is is a better day for I-95 and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Winds gusting close to 30 mph heavy rain, thunder and lightning. Thought I heard very small hail (sounded like sleet) at the onset as well. Hard to tell though when I stepped outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
