RedSky Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It looks like it will but seriously if I don't get a couple nice downpours by this I'll be pissed....may jump out the window. Hope it's from the first floor only... One good thunder back around 11. Bill is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Nothing really heavy here either, but a decent steady rain. 0.40" so far. Been this way all Spring...haven't had a good downpour. Everything is light/Mod....not horrible but damn I want something that hauls occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Finally something goes epic wrong in summer. 30" snow in winter reduced to 3" would have been UGLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 0.74" on the day @ 1:45 AM. 0.58" of that fell in under 20 minutes. Had a peak rain rate of 7.29"/hour. Get some pics BBasile, getting some good bolts here and hopefully that line of red will make it here before it dies. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. Quite a few CG strikes, too.

Treckasec Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 0.7 inches in day, 0.89 at night. 1.59" total. Probably the best storms so far this year last night, though still haven't had any severe storms yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wow. Alot of sound and fury overnight producing < 0.5". Almost like we were in the center of the disorganized circulation. I heard that post-11 pm loud rolling thunder on and off for a couple hours but didn't see much if any lightning as someone was getting decimated. Apparently downtown they were reporting some real lightning fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz299 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Here in Cape May 0.65". That's well under what was expected. I do agree with RedSky: did not need it. The day has turned out nicely if 88° with a 74° dew point is what one likes. Very muggy! Must say though wind occasionally gets up to 15mph and that feels good.

KWWD reported 1.26in. My PWS has the same fault, may be slightly off balance. 0.76in for today on my PWS. I only live about 2 miles from the airport. Another PWS a few blocks away reported 1.56in.

I only live about 2 miles from the airport. Another PWS a few blocks away reported 1.56in. Just checked MesoWest for the 24-hour precip. for KWWD and it showed 0.67". As for my reading it's from a National Weather Service standard 8" rain gauge. Actually I have two. You put the ruler in the tube and measure. The two read .65" & .63". I do have a Texas Electronics electronic gauge and it measured .67". This is all for today, Sunday, from midnight. I had no measurable precip. on Saturday. Rain here started about 11:45pm last night. As you probably know rainfall in thunderstorms can vary greatly in very short distances. We all could be right on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to fight so hard over petty stuff but it is important for quality keeping. I agree about precip totals varying over small distances. It was fairly convective in nature. Looks to be a combination of this influence and sensor noise among stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achieving it can be tough at times but here we're among those who do care. Mean while I was happy to have less rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Your rain gauge may be low biased. KWWD reported 1.26in. My PWS has the same fault, may be slightly off balance. 0.76in for today on my PWS. I only live about 2 miles from the airport. Another PWS a few blocks away reported 1.56in. Not seeing 1.26" from WWD. How do you figure? You don't add every 1-hour total up because they are 20-minute obs. Add up the 6-hour reports (right column). The 8" rain gauge that Bliz has is the standard and has been for over 100 years. The 4" CoCoRaHS gauge is pretty good too. I'd rank them pretty close to top and all automated gauges below them. ASOS gauges are *generally* better than PWS gauges but there are occasional exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Wasn't sure if this little guy was going to make it from PA, but it did, and dropped another 0.42" of rain. Some decent lightning with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.26" total was taken from the wunderground PWS map (which has NWS stations) but it looks like it was bugged somehow. Either way the totals are all over the place for such a small radius among the PWS of Cape May County. Regardless the NWS obs still add up to 0.84" or 0.89" if you include the 3-hourly ob at 10:55 6/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thunderstorm thread ever gonna open up soon? 2000-3000 k/jg for CAPE on GFS and NAM models for our area tomorrow. NAM a bit more bullish, though most likely a bit overdone. TUESDAY...SEVERAL THINGS TO TALK ABOUT THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THEBIGGEST DIFFERENCE FROM PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS IS THAT THERE IS ATREND FOR A FASTER FRONTAL ARRIVAL (BY THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS,NAM AND ECMWF IT MAY ALREADY BE OFF SHORE BY 00Z). GIVEN THAT THEOVERALL FLOW ALOFT REMAINS A VERY FAST ZONAL PATTERN, AND GIVENHOW QUICKLY THE REMNANTS OF BILL LIFTED OUT YESTERDAY, THIS SEEMSREASONABLE. THIS HAS IMPLICATIONS BOTH FOR THE THREAT OF HEATADVISORY CONDITIONS AS WELL AS THE SEVERE THREAT.FIRST FOR THE HEAT THREAT: IT STILL LOOKS TO BE A DANGEROUSLY HOTDAY IN DELMARVA (HEAT INDEX VALUES POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 105). FORTHE DELAWARE VALLEY/URBAN CORRIDOR: HEAT INDEX VALUES HAVE COMEDOWN SLIGHTLY FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST (A DIRECT RESULT OF THEPOTENTIAL EARLIER ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT), BUT STILL LOOK TO BEABOVE 95. DID NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORYGIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT, BUT WILLCONTINUE TO MENTION IN THE HWO FOR THOSE LOCATIONS.AS FOR THE SEVERE THREAT: THE LOW LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEADOF THE FRONT WILL AIDE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION ANDINCREASING LAPSE RATES/INSTABILITY. BY THE AFTERNOON, CAPE VALUESOF 1500 - 2000 J/KG ARE POSSIBLE (NAM SHOWS EVEN ABOVE 2000 J/KG,BUT IT ALSO APPEARS TO BE TOO HIGH ON SURFACE DEW POINTS SO THINKTHIS IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WILL BE REALIZED). THERE IS CONSIDERABLEBULK SHEAR IN THE 0-6KM LAYER (AROUND 40KT), THOUGH FLOW IS ALMOSTENTIRELY UNIDIRECTIONAL SO SHEAR IS ALMOST ENTIRELY SPEED SHEAR.THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT MIGHT LIMIT THE SEVERE THREAT HOWEVER.FIRST, IF THE TREND FOR A FASTER COLD FRONT CONTINUES IT COULDBEGIN MOVING THROUGH THE REGION BEFORE PEAK HEATING LEADING TOSLIGHTLY LOWER INSTABILITY. SECOND...THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL JETAS WELL AS THE BEST LIFT (ASIDE FROM MESOSCALE LIFT ALONG THEFRONT) STAY WELL NORTH OF OUR REGION. IN FACT, BY MID DAY WE LOOKTO BE UNDER THE RIGHT EXIT REGION OF THE UPPER LEVEL JET WHICHCOULD INHIBIT CONVECTIVE INITIATION. ALL THAT BEING SAID THOUGH,STILL LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH OF A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS TOCONTINUE MENTION IN THE HWO AS WELL AS THE GRIDS. HAIL THREAT ISPOSSIBLE, BUT THE VERY ELEVATED MELTING LAYER IN THE PRE FRONTALENVIRONMENT WILL LIMIT THAT THREAT. TORNADO THREAT APPEARS VERYMINIMAL GIVEN HARDLY ANY DIRECTIONAL SHEAR.
