This would be beyond refreshing with next 4 days feeling like soup. Preach it brother...... Preach it!! Voyager....you are a closet snow lover and we all know it...and if not, well you picked a tough place to love warm n sticky talk...

canderson Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The severe storm threat here was a pretty big bust. We got some heavy rain but I never even heard thunder and noticed no wind whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim123 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I love the upstate forum in winter but summer is very dull. Lake snows keep it really busy in winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monsoon is cool though! Depends on the food. Pizza sucks, Chinese is pretty good, the Mexican (at the right places) is out of this world, and of course good steak houses. I love it out there. The only thing keeping me here at this point is my step-daughter and grandchildren. If it weren't for them, I'd be gone. As for the weather today, I got 1.2" total from two storms. One at 3:00am and the other about 4:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelieveable place off I-10 in the middle of nowhere. Glorious ribeye. Now I want to go back lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just checking in, it's been a pretty busy summer for me as I bought a house and have moved. I'm still in Central PA though.. in fact I'm only about 4 miles down the road from where I was haha so it should be business as usual when winter rolls around. Been a wet summer here, I don't know if I've ever saw the grass so green so late into the summer... it's still growing like crazy. We usually get a dry spell at some point during a normal summer but not this one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Euro and GFS in agreement for the refreshing shot of cool air for the second half of this coming week. Post frontal DP's dropping into the mid 40's to mid 50's pending where you are (Drier to north and west of 81). Temps into the upper 60's northern PA to upper 70's to near 80 along southern border. Absolutely amazing conditions at this rate for August. If you have the chance to get out an enjoy it Thursday-Saturday, get out and do it!!

heavy_wx Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Quite large ZDR and reflectivity associated with the convection south of UNV right now. Corresponds with reduced CC, suggesting big raindrops mixed with melting hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Judging by radar the answer is yes, these storms do survive. Big wind just cranked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Weird. It never rained here despite dark yellows overhead (well I heard a few drops hit the window but not even a trace fell in my gauge). Had decent wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The radar looked good and I "thought" we were a lock for a good storm as we were under a warning. It fell apart and we ended up with 0.08" of rain and about a half dozen rumbles of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 That line of storms early evening yesterday did a pretty good number on Blair County.. specifically the Tyrone area where the damage included a roof being blown off a building in town and a majority of the town losing power. http://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/storm-rolls-through-causing-damage-throughout-the-region/794438180 I was just getting back into Altoona right when the storm was arriving and got a nice look at the shelf cloud and drove through some pretty good wind gusts and dodging some tree branches. Was working yesterday and never got a good look at the parameters for this yesterday but the newspaper did have one of the local mets mentioning relatively dry air aloft yesterday, which would imply a greater potential for downbursts. Looked at the archived meosoanalysis data and noted cold pool aloft with the progressing shortwave at 500mb of temps around -10 to -12ºC and modest but not crazy Downdraft CAPE values. We've had a good bit of rain this year locally but not a lot of actual severe weather, so this was probably one of the biggest events of the summer in the severe department.

It frickin DUMPED here in Akron. I thought more like 3'-5'..... and by the looks of it, another soaker tonight..... So looking forward to another respite from this mucky crap. Frost....I'd bet that will be hard to achieve as we usually have trouble early on in the game, but dews in the 40's n 50's will be most refreshing.

Itstrainingtime Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Another nice storm wrapping up here. After watching from the sidelines for most of July (though we had plenty of rain) the storms seem to be zeroing in on us down here a bit more now.
