MAG5035 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 8 minutes ago, Bubbler86 said: That line over N/W PA is pretty crazy as well. Yea there's a couple bowing segments in the main line, with the most notable section that was tornado warned having impacted Warren a bit ago. Most impressive portion of the line seems to be I-80 north in PA at the moment. Primary threat with this overnight is of the QLCS variety, which presents the potential for brief tornadoes imbedded in some of the bowed segments in addition to the high likelihood of severe thunderstorm wind gusts. That's the general basis for the tornado watch issued for most of the commonwealth. Winds aloft are pretty significant (50-60kt at 850mb), so not going to take much to mix that down given central PA having busted into the warm sector. I know it's already been quite windy here this evening without the storms. Was looking at mesoanalysis and this severe threat could have been a much more serious one had we had the daytime heating/CAPE element to things. This is a very impressive setup dynamically. Effective bulk shear and helicity numbers are VERY high right now in Central PA. Any kind of half decent CAPE would have sent the EHI parameter through the roof (one indicator for strong tornadoes). I'd say if this setup would have been shifted back 6-8 hours and central PA would have cleared some today and got sun and daytime heating this threat could well have been one with more discrete storm cell activity ahead of the front. This could have been a more traditional severe outbreak with very high tornadic potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatheadsickness Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 As usual the line fell apart over my area. We get very few solid lines from the west or southwest here in Lewisberry Most lines split my area and then recongeal to the west. We do ok with the discreet stuff and any line that drops in. I got to see another early season light show to the north walking the dog. Right now and The storm as a whole looks like a nukes fiery stem rising into the mushroom. Pretty Awesome for April. My benchmark QLCS type storms all came in the 80's and early 90's Two in November 1989 Both I believe qualified as derechos one being by far the best lightning I have ever seen in my area and the other being a Funkin crazy scary and very rare low dewpoint derecho the wind just kept building for hours before the squal. Its Only storm that ever scared me in my home. I don't remember the year for the third and it my not have been qlcs types but It was memorable hot and humid that day. luckily I was not at camp I was At Hershey for the Big 33 and Raghib the Rocket Ismail was playing in that game . I remember the newspaper article saying they say Lightning doesn't strike twice with A pic of the Rocket scoring and lighting in the background. The Whole valley got pounded that night so I assume it was a powerful line of storms. A bunch of kids at my camp where injured that night by a falling tree and also had there ear drums ruptured by close hits of lightning. The Foken good old days when storms needed no hype.

We got two more on Sunday night. The Schuylkill River here is still running high. I was just surprised at the lower qpf on the GFS, and especially the NAM, which usually has a wet bias.

Flatheadsickness Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Warm air keeps returning in a hurry after the cold fronts this spring. Just the other night we had a back door drop in and the cooler air retreated in about 20 hours . Looks to be warm muggy time ahead. My garden is vigorous early no burnt tips this year. Toads spawned early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
