MAG5035 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ended up with a pretty decent downpour here. CTP has the portion of the line that went through Clearfield warned for now through at least Mifflin and Snyder Counties. Looks like our folks from H-burg and the Chicken Capital might get a piece of this after all. Also some storms trying to sneak towards PSUHazelton.

Jmister Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't recall ever seeing such continuous lightning here as I did with the thunderstorm complex last night. Yet, none of it ever got that close so it made for a terrific light show! Another interesting thunderstorm possibility seems to be shaping up for tomorrow and of course I'll be out camping in Bald Eagle... As per the SPC: ...OH VALLEY THROUGH MID ATLANTIC... MODEL CONSENSUS IS THAT A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN THE MEAN UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE HUDSON BAY AREA WILL ADVANCE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND NERN STATES SATURDAY. QUASISTATIONARY FRONT SHOULD EXTEND FROM THE MID ATLANTIC WWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY. RICHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S WILL PERSIST IN VICINITY OF THIS BOUNDARY. EXPANSIVE EML PLUME HAS ALREADY ADVECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE OH VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC REGION...AND RESERVOIR OF STRONG INSTABILITY /3000+ MLCAPE/ WILL LIKELY EXIST WHERE THE NRN FRINGE OF EML OVERLAPS THE MOIST AXIS. A FEW STORMS MAY BE ONGOING EARLY SATURDAY WITHIN ZONE OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT ALONG BAROCLINIC ZONE. AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WARMS POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR STORMS TO REDEVELOP ALONG RESIDUAL CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS...IN VICINITY OF THE FRONT AND POSSIBLY LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES AND INTENSIFY AS THEY ADVANCE SEWD. BELT OF STRONGER FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO 40+ KT EFFECTIVE SHEAR SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED STORMS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS CAPABLE OF MAINLY DAMAGING WIND AND VERY LARGE HAIL. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS REGARDING STORM COVERAGE DUE TO POTENTIAL CAPPING ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH EML. AN UPGRADE TO HIGHER PROBABILITIES MAY BE NEEDED IN LATER OUTLOOKS ONCE THESE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN MITIGATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sounds like Hershey got Rocked. The Chief Of Police told the news to warn people not to come to Hershey, due to down trees and power lines. A guy i work with lives on rt39 not far from Hershey, he has no power and trees down all over his hood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yea they actually are not dropping south as sharply as I thought they were going to but the cluster of storms is not overly big. They've occasionally had some nice hail signatures and echo tops have been 50k feet+ as well. The one cells trying to make a run at Potter but otherwise it looks like the best candidates for this so far are 2001kx, Jamie and PennMan. One very strong gust of wind and lots of lightning. Although only .18 of rain. Rather interested in tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gauge is broke so i'm not sure total rain, but huge puddles in the firehouse house parking lot. I actually said to my wife that i thought they had a fire or something and had washed the hose and gear. she lol'd and said i guess you didn't hear the storm? Tomorroww afternoon could be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, Martins long term from yesterday. Def could be an interesting day.. there's gonna be a ton of energy available with the heat and humidity. Add a bit of a cap to build all that up and you got the recipe for some big time storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Interesting storm last night. Tons of lightning, hailbut not much rain. Saw a metal roof ripped off and wrapped around a tree on 322 around the Wal Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Must have missed the severe portion. Woke up out of my slumber around 3 am to plenty of lightening and thunder. Not much wind at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard92 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 No damage here in my immediate area near Linglestown, but we did pick up a much-needed 0.35in of rain. Intense lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They leave them up sometimes without updating, I've noticed. Sort of interested in that MCS out in northern IN but I guess it's going to take a slight right turn and miss us.

irvingtwosmokes Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Knew it was going to be a scorcher today; I was out having a smoke at 2 am and when the wind blew it got warmer. It was 100 at 3:15 in the Moxham section of Johnstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Woah where did this storm come from?! No complaints here, very intense lightening in my area last night. Spent a good 30 minutes watching the storm while hiding from my boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Woah. The National Weather Service ruled straight line winds up to 95 miles per hour were responsible for the damage. http://www.fox43.com/news/wpmt-straight-line-winds-uproot-trees-damage-buildings-in-dauphin-county-20120629,0,7358644.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Woah. That ended up being quite the line of thunderstorms the other night, I figured that by the time things got southeast that there'd be few or no severe issues. Straight line winds of 95mph is insane. The storms must've taken advantage of the really high downdraft CAPEs that were present. I figured they'd maintain well, but http://www.fox43.com...0,7358644.story well since i can see now we do have 2 trees down and a bunch of branches. Yea when that line pushed through you and later got warned (and was the section eventually responsible for the estimated 95mph wind) base velocities were quite high.. on the order of 55-60kts. We all really dodged a bullet last night with that line of thunderstorms since it made that bit of an arc southeast into WVA, MD, DC and VA. It was a classic derecho event. It would've been a major mess. The severe threat for the most part appears to be suppressed south of the region today, at least the threat of a repeat of the last couple evenings with organized MCS/derecho type systems. I wouldn't rule out scattered severe storms in PA though, especially in the far south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bet all we see make headlines is the heat in the Plains. +6-8° during the summer is seriously impressive. It's warmer than I was expecting today, currently 91.2°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 - 6-8F is not? A 6-8° departure in either direction during the summer is impressive. How are conditions in the chicken capital, besides feathery? My parents north of Myerstown said some of the corn was beginning to curl from lack of rain.
