JTA66 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Torrential rains right now and some thunder, but not much wind other than your typical t-storm gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Right under it now. Getting 1"/hr rates. Warnings flying. ETA, not getting any thunder/lightning (at least yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 And there's the thunder once the heaviest of the line just passed through. Temp down to 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Heavy rain, a wind gust to 28 MPH, one lightning strike. Temp down to 60, dew down to 57. Good looking storm, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Something blew through here. My poor husband got caught in a gust dropped his phone, the mail, his paychecks while grabbing the full view door to get in the house. Thankfully he held on got in the house to find I left the kitchen window open so he cleaned up the water on the floor when our son called to say look out back. We lost a shed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 If anyone has a shoot of the radar at 4:45-4:50 pm please post it for me? Scanner had multiple calls near here. One was for a residential rescue. Then I didn’t hear anything else except the poor guys arguing about where they needed the fire police. All is calm now. Thinking it was a brief event whatever it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check it out for yourself... I'll post the radar capture for 4:40 PM (Because of DST, the time is off by an hour on the website) It looks to me like there is a little appendage over your area on this frame... There very well could've been a spin-up at this time! https://www.weather.gov/crh/stormreports?sid=dvn You should file in a storm report, and describe the damage & wind intensity + the possibility that this could've been a spin-up in the QLCS. Impressive stuff, Lady Di! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my data aged out, i went through it again and did a zoom of your area from ~4:41pm - 4:48 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thank you both. I am not a trained spotter by any means. Correct me if I’m wrong but I would summarize that it was a very brief very short spin but probably a straight line wind based on the break you can see in between the red on radar that could have blew through my home location. I had no witness to any of this leaving work and driving just 5 miles home which is south or southwest. It seemed like your typical squall line passing to me. Fascinating stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rotation there. Just straight line winds. Velocity looks like near 60 MPH, but that's from over five thousand feet up. Could have mostly transferred down, though.

BBasile Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Ended up with 1.53 inches of rain on the day. Afternoon storm didn't pack much of a punch, but it looked good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had one storm last year with enough lightning (at night) that was worth shooting. And that was in October. Only one printable photo of lightning since July 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I ended up with a total of 0.89" yesterday, with 0.55" of that coming with the squall line. The high was 69 yesterday before the heaviest rain hit. The cold air behind the front eventually got me down to a low of 49 this morning, even with all the wind, and it has struggled to hit 65 today. Currently 64, partly cloudy, and very breezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I was about 5 miles north of Green lane during the storm. Didn't see anything exceptional other than 30 mph straight line justs. The Davis gauge in Pottstown recorded a rain rate of 7.03 in. per hr though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say your umbrella wrapped up looks like something "questionable??" But yeah, the winds were kicking pretty good. I usually like to wear a baseball cap but today no chance. It would have blew off and halfway down the street within 5 seconds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Larry Cosgrove thinks we will start to dry out and warm up in the longer term outlook of his weekly newsletter. He also says we are probably going to have a hazy, hot and humid summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
