4th of July Tropical Fireworks?


Recommended Posts

Doing a quick check I couldn't find any information relating to this, but when was the last time this area was affected by a tropical system in July? Seems relatively rare, if it in fact comes to pass.

 

Bertha in July 1996 moved over the region as a tropical storm.

Thanks for the reply - I would say that qualifies as relatively rare.

With the projected path it's looking like most of the effect here (inland anyway) could be some enhancement to frontal boundary rainfall.

Could even be cleared out by Friday afternoon - night, although I imagine some fireworks displays will be rescheduled.

We shall see, and interesting nonetheless.

Even more rare was Agnes on June 22 1972

Looks like the shore is getting hammered. Was it forecasted to be this bad?

Don't know about hammered but it's been "stormy" for sure. My peak gust has been 39mph at 9:25am; peak 1-minute average 20.3mph at 9:27am. Lewes,DE, has had a peak gust of 45kts.(52mph) at 9;18am. It has rained very hard at times. My daily total at noon was 1.75"(aprx.); manual measurement will come later. It's still raining lightly. Wind graph for last 1/2 hour shows speed is decreasing. Haven't had a day like this in a long while! Nice!!

more people get excited about a 1010 L.P with the chance of snowflurries than a cat 1 just offshore.

 

I think most people around here are desensitized to tropical systems because we're so accustomed to them decaying beyond interest and/or skipping to the east. Personally I still find it fascinating. Plus a lot of posters are from inland Pennsylvania and offshore storms don't even bother them.
