KamuSnow Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Just now, JTA66 said: Heavy rains, plenty of lightening & thunder, not much in the way of winds. It's late Feb, does the old "it snows within 10 days of thunder" rule still apply? Is there such a rule? I remember in the winter of 2013-2014 it happened at least a couple of times.

It's an old JB thing, said it's weather lore from the Carolinas. Anyway, temps starting to drop, after a high of 71.8F I'm now down to 58.8F ... that matches my overnight low from last night!

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Up over 1/4" of rain now with > 1"/hr rates. Getting frequent lightning and occasional thunder. Heavier stuff is incoming. Temp down to 62F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 2"/hr rates now and almost 1/2" has fallen so far. Right under the peak of it based on radar. Still getting frequent lightning and occasional thunder. Not getting too much wind. Temp down to 60F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 pleasantly surprised. several 40 mph gusts with heavy rain and a couple close lightning strikes. several small limbs down in the yard. no hail but all in all a pretty decent storm considering it is February. most summer storms arent this intense around here...

Treckasec Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The storm isn't over here but I don't think it'll get worse here. I'm sadly kind of in a split area, with warnings to my north and south. While it is February, it's the same 'ol same 'ol like in the summer. The lightning has been pretty impressive, but there was a little kink/bow that formed that went just to the north of me. Beyond heavy rain and lightning, there's been nothing else.

Newman Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yesterdays storm was one of the worst in a while with regards to the wind here in Berks County. Usually we never verify severe with wind, but yesterday we did with many places in Berks reporting 60-65 mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a lot like we had with Sandy just not the prolonged damaging winds, it was over in about 15 mins. but in that short time it caused a lot of damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 24.6F out there...actually feels like winter. Looks like temps near 70 Wednesday for some....T-Storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Day 3 slight risk from SPC for severe on wednesday. Not too common around here on March 1st... Setup looks good again for another squall line bringing damaging winds. temps getting into the 70's, dews getting close to 60 again along with another strong cold front...we usually do well when we have good dynamics but marginal instability. maybe this crappy winter pattern will provide us with a solid spring severe pattern. off to a pretty good start at least.

The Iceman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 up to 60 here already dew point at 57. hoping that convective complex slides to out north. if it does we may have another severe squall line to deal with later with the possibility of a tornado or 2.

The Iceman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 new spc day 1 brings an enhanced risk into from about PHL west to Lancaster. I could see this expanding a bit further north as the day progresses as that convection should mostly miss se pa. today is looking like a better set up than Saturday. could see a widespread wind damage event.

The recent Mesoscale Discussion for south of us also discusses the lack of instability here in PA due to this mornings convection. The Mid-Atlantic should do better with more clearing.

Yeah Ill be glad if this one fizzles out, I surely do not need the wind damage we had Saturday night, I'll go for a good thunderstorm less the wind.

The Iceman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 spc disagrees with those thinking this will be no big deal. pushed the enhanced risk a bit further north and brought tornado probs up to 5%. we should get a couple hours of sunshine. sun has already started to come out here in Ewing. we don't need a ton of instability with the dynamics in place and with this clearing ahead of the line, it should be enough. I think a severe watch will be issued for se pa into NJ shortly. also once that line pushes through this afternoon, we may see another round with the front later tonight.

Also, did you get any damage from the storms Saturday at your own house, or are you referring generally to Berks County getting damage? I was lucky enough to escape any damage in my backyard, but the Reading Eagle showed well the damage the storm brought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
