RedSky Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Radar history says about 7% of the area received a good shower. The 50% good chance thing for overnight looks terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophisticated Skeptic Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 storm chasing and a cold one = perfect together. Quote 4.55 inches of rain measured in Burlington, NJ. hopefully there's a nice overhead chopper view out there somewhere. must of looked chaotic. Burlington / Florence , especially.

Was wondering of that blob that sat and percolated was near the bridge area. Anyone know if Bristol had similar amounts on this side of the river?

wxradio Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Also had dime sized hail for 15 minutes not enough to damage vehicles though. Florence had winds of around 40 MPH. Looked like a war zone. Should be some footage on news tonight, Choppers were buzzing area before dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Awesome there is a new lake for the region I thought so Watching all the storms that developed north of me when they passed my yard. Can see veritable rivers dropping from the sky and vivid lightning, that also should use up most of the available energy for the overnight chance.

RedSky Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Oh lovely I see the overnight stuff after midnight has been axed. NWS now has showers likely Friday night and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVLion77 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 After over 8" in july we are starting August at 2" already. This is the wettest summer I can ever remember. Last summer was one of the driest I can remember. So many extremes in our weather anymore. Very large snowstorms over the last several years up here with great temperature variability in all seasons. Just weird stuff.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Storms mostly missed just to my west, had some good lightning though. Picked up 0.17" of rain for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on the Levittown/Bristol border and we were right on the edge. we got 2.3" of rain but it wasn't a consistent deluge. it would stop and start and stop and start for a good 2 hours so we didn't see any flash flooding but still got a real good soaker. other than the rain, that storm had the best lightning display of summer. had 7 or 8 really close strikes <1 mile away and thunder was constant. also, winds gusted occasionally around 40 mph if I had to guess as we had several small branches come down. I think it was the best storm of summer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the best storm of summer here. I was watching it on the radar and it kept back-building and spreading after starting as an innocent strong dot over NE Philly. I noticed this morning that I got some sprinkles overnight (plant leaves were wet) but not enough to tip the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All watered up here let's see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much wind, no hail, but the lightning was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
