IsentropicLift Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Check out the winds associated with that line of snow squalls across central PA. There are winds to 30 - 50kts shown on the storm relative velocity screen. If this was the summer State College would probably be issuing Severe Thunderstorm warnings for this line. As it is measured wind gusts to 40 MPH an hour are occurring behind this line. A wind advisory has been hoisted areawide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm standing outside on 120th at about 150' elevation and have drizzle with a couple flakes mixed in from time to time. Definitely not "snow" For about two minutes there was light flakage near Kew Gardens. Now grauple mixed with a few rain drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 LB freak. To make you feel better, I'm steet level now and it's drizzle. Ah ha, I knew it. This was always a colder air aloft situation so that makes sense I think the front gives everyone a quick coating. That thing looks like a beast!!!!

Tatamy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Squall line is looking healthier on Mt. Holly radar as it approaches Allentown, PA. Forward speed is about 50 MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Mt. Holly has just issued a special weather statement for the squall line for their CWA. They are warning of a line of strong thunderstorms with visibilities dropping to a half a mile in snow with occasional lightning. They are warning of an inch of snow in one hour with this feature.

Tatamy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The squall line is about 15 miles west of me. I have mostly clear skies with a crescent moon and stars. No wind at all. 31 degrees. Meanwhile there are radar indicated winds of 30 - 40Kts with the squall line. It's about to get real wild here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatamy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The squall line is low topped - it will look less impressive as it travels between radar sites. I am guessing that the radar view of it that is approaching Ulster County might be partially blocked by mountains. I saw the same thing earlier as it moved between the State College and Mt. Holly sites. Look at Mt. Holly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-LI Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 "* THE SNOW SQUALL IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE DELAWARE VALLEY INCLUDING THE PHILADELPHIA METRO AREA BETWEEN 7 AND 8 PM EST. OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING IS ALSO POSSIBLE. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
