zenmsav6810 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Looks like a bad hair day tomorrow. Looks like we could see a pretty gusty day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Another March 28 going by, continuing the streak for PHL not having measurable snow on this date going back to at least 1871. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Dead calm here.....when is all this wind expected? Should probably see the winds pick up after 4:00pm. Hope it's no big deal. I spent Saturday in the yard picking up a winter's worth of branches -- I don't feel like doing that again this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Both Mt.Holly & Upton have issued High Wind Watches for the area Saturday night into Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 looks like the area will see a low topped squall line this evening along the front. you can see it forming in central PA. we should get several hours of sunshine in too so possibly some isolated severe reports with the shear overhead. not much instability around after this morning's rain/clouds.

The Iceman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 MD for this afternoon, pretty much what I said MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0327 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1246 PM CDT FRI APR 01 2016 AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY VALID 011746Z - 011945Z PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT SUMMARY...A BROKEN BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY ORGANIZE THIS AFTERNOON FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. SOME THREAT FOR A FEW DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND A MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL REPORT OR TWO IS EXPECTED. WATCH ISSUANCE IS CURRENTLY UNLIKELY...BUT CONDITIONS WILL BE MONITORED FOR AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ORGANIZATION. DISCUSSION...RECENT SATELLITE AND RADAR MOSAIC IMAGERY DEPICT A BAND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING FROM WESTERN NEW ENGLAND SOUTHWESTWARD TO WEST VIRGINIA. MID-LEVEL ASCENT FROM A PASSING IMPULSE...AS WELL AS SOME SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG/NEAR A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...ARE LIKELY AIDING THIS CONVECTION. AS LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ADVANCES EASTWARD...DEVELOPING CELLS WILL ENCOUNTER A MORE FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT...CHARACTERIZED BY DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S AND MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 500-800 J/KG. SUCH DESTABILIZATION IS BEING AIDED BY A CONSIDERABLE CLEARING/THINNING OF CLOUD COVER ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. WHILE THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BUOYANCY SUGGESTS UPDRAFT ACCELERATION SHOULD NOT BE TOO STRONG...LONG/STRAIGHT HODOGRAPHS /I.E. AMPLE UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR/ SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SMALL BOWING SEGMENTS AND STORM SPLITS. WHERE DIURNAL HEATING HAS RESULTED IN STEEPER LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...EFFICIENT DOWNWARD TRANSPORT OF STRONG FLOW ALOFT SHOULD FAVOR A FEW DAMAGING WIND GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. ALTHOUGH HAIL GROWTH SHOULD BE LIMITED BY A LACK OF GREATER BUOYANCY ALOFT...PLENTIFUL DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL PROMOTE MID-LEVEL ROTATION AND PERHAPS A COUPLE SEVERE HAIL REPORTS. WHILE WATCH ISSUANCE IS CURRENTLY NOT ANTICIPATED...CONDITIONS WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR A POTENTIAL INCREASE IN THE THREAT...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH OF THE KINEMATIC FIELD.

Treckasec Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Cell is predicted to go right over my area. Getting some lightning and thunder before the storm, darker clouds coming in. I'm hoping this storm can keep its strength. Special weather statement says storm may intensify, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibet Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 GFS AND ECM models at 168hrs Wow... and I was just commenting today that the trees were starting to bud... its way out there but could temps that low cause issues for whatever has already started "waking up"?

Birds~69 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Steadier rain to our W.....didn't think it would be this solid but more spotty. Looking forward to our 50+mph winds overnight/Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how year after year the same areas get hit and the same areas miss out... I hope it's not a trend with T-storms this Spring/Summer...uggh. When I was growing up it seemed to T-storm every afternoon during Summer. And "good ones"....not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
