This is similar setup to yesterday.  Those storms once north of DC seem to have more of a northerly component and I am guessing will continue to push north out of SNJ into extreme SEPA....just based on current radar loop. 

 

Bout to role out of Pennsauken for my ride to PA before I get nailed.

So far, the most likely severe storms I have looked

at appear to be the one that when from Ewing NJ

up to Hunterdon/Somerset county...and the one

currently moving through Tabernacle with damaging

winds.

Speaking of the storm that just moved through Tabernacle, the rain started moving sideways and we ended up getting crazy hail. The biggest ( and only hail ) I've seen before that was some pea sized hail or so a long time ago. We just got probably 1/2 an inch sized hail. It was like a tornado moved through, but I'm pretty sure in reality it wasn't. Heh, still a bit excited over what happened.

 

Nevermind, the hail was an inch big.  :blink:

radar has been depicting "The Dome" over the region east of lansdale most of the evening/night!

 

Sounds like most of us who've been somewhat rain deprived over the last few weeks did pick up an inch (more or less) over the last couple of days, which is welcome. At least we can go into the next few days of beautiful dry weather with that.

Mount Holly made an addendum to the PNS. Apparently the incident in Voorhees yesterday was also related to the same storm, 70-80 mph straight line winds. 

Two separate events were noted. One in Burlington county and the other in Camden county. Same storm though.
