SouthernNJ Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rotation is mainly aloft in the Sullivan CWA storm, Terminal Doppler not showing much down low. However, the destructive tornadic storm is approaching the state line and should get warned shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Very eerie feeling to have the temperature rise 3 degrees during a heavy thunderstorm, which it just did here and at DTW. The dew point also has risen to 64... definitely can tell a very dynamic and rare setup is going on in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The original wedge was tracking near and in tandem with the surface low.
