SouthernNJ Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 A few storms formed along a boundary, one in Glassboro, moving for Newfield/Vineland and another near Winslow, moving toward the Hammonton/Folsom area. The other storm near Salem has picked up a warning and should move through Salem/Cumberland counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The svr parameters on thurs afternoon are absolutely insane. I have never seen them like this for the region. sufficient shear over the region from 30 kts to over 50kts the ehi is probably the highest i have seen in this area in a while ranging in the 3-5 range... you need 2.5 or higher for it to be conducive for super cells the helicity is in the 200-300 range good cape and Li the issue is though, we are capped, so all those indices mean nada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Lowered base on the cell near Newfield, was better defined a minute ago. Spitting out cg's everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Radar detecting very strong winds over Newfield, possibly close to 70 mph, 616 PM KDOX. About to impact North Vineland, Buena, Richland. Hail is also possible northeast of the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Great storm, had probably 50-60 tops where I was in Newfield, trees down in Franklin Twp. KDIX at 544 PM suggested the storm was turning severe, the warning was issued at 557 PM as it approached Franklinville. It became briefly supercellular near Newfield, before weakening after the downburst reached the ground. It seems as though nearly every storm that you venture after peaks in intensity right where you set-up position. Certainly valuable from a spotter report/first responder perspective.

Big Jims Videos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Scary experience. Was on the Delaware memorial bridge when the cell moved over. Wasn't raining but the storm spit fire and bolts while I was on the bridge hitting all over. Never ever want to deal with that again. I know I'm perfectly safe but damn, that was crazy.

Pellice Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Some kind of dry front rushing through central Somerset County right now, suddenly lots and lots of wind, dark clouds overhead, but nothing more. Temp not going down either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea man, I've been extremely lucky in that fact, I seem to get on a cell right when it peaks. It had a massive what looked to be a wall cloud, when I first turned onto Route 40, but couldn't get a good shot of it until it changed structure some. Awesome storm for a day I wasn't expecting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jims Videos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Drove through it, didn't notice anything odd. On a more important note, anyone free to chase Thursday? I'm off all week! In Belmar through friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wederwarrior Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 This was the storms over new jersey in the last hour. Anyone know what causes that lens shape cloud on top of the cell? Pileus clouds. Caused by the rapid rising parcel of air as the tower climbs, aur around the updraft quickly reaches dp. Nice shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsu_wxgirl Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I always thought that only SPC had the jurisdiction to produce watches. If you look at the status report http://www.spc.noaa....tch/ws0510.html it does identify Chester County there. Oh well, maybe better luck tomorrow. It's odd. The SPC text doesn't have it but the WCM from PHI does. Did PHI decide to include them? http://www.spc.noaa....ch/wou0510.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The LEAN chase team might be out tomorrow. I feel so safe As far as SE PA goes, even though we get warm sectored, and have very favorable severe parameters, the models continue to show storms struggling to make it to our area. Not too excited for our chances attm. And by the way, some of the soundings being spit out for NEPA, NYC area are just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 To further elaborate on Friday, check these out: I mean, these are about as good as any number / looks as you'll see for our area, but as you can see on the Vorticity map, not much lift to ignite the fuel load. The only thing I can see happening down our way, is to get some type of lee trough to develop off any type of Thursday night convection that makes it to our area. Otherwise, we have a bomb with no fuse. Sent from my iPad HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the story of our summer around here.....always one missing ingredient even though many of the others are in play......no sheer, no CAPE, no lift now. Fall and the end of the heat cannot come quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jims Videos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 May have to join the chase team on my day off and head back into my neck of the woods...nepA...wanna see the evening models.
