Thanks for the heads-up!  2 weeks. Ugh.  But that poor radar needs it badly.  Hope KDOX holds up during that time!!!

That's sounds long?? Damn.

Oh well, since it's 56F currently, overcast and windy may as well put up my Halloween decorations while chasing trash cans. Oh wait, snap, it's late April!

Kite-flying weather!

Damn right! 

Who cares if my cap/hat flies off I look like a complete hippy. I'll buy a "brown bag" to make things look right starting tomorrow. I'm on a mission! I'm getting on the phone at 9am! I'll be flying a kite in no time....

"Curbside pickup is available at the following stores, listed by county. Each store will take a limited number of orders by phone from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until the store reaches the maximum number of orders it can fulfill that day, Monday through Saturday, starting on Monday, April 20, 2020."

Yep. one near me in North Wales:

Currently 55F with a rain shower. Let's see what effect (if any) this has on potential severe later today.

I don't see severe stuff happening. It's a complete shit show out there...drizzle/light rain, wind and temps in the 50s. I don't think things will fire up...

Agree. Was surprised to see dew on the cars this morning (temps/dews in the mid-40s this morning) and I hit a high here of 60 just before 10 am, and then the overcast and light rain (not measurable yet) came in and the temp is down to 56.

Yep, the radar looks like crap. Morning showers helping to stabilize everything as always. But even so, the setup was always riding a fine edge. Low CAPE environments don't typically produce well around here unless you're into the garden variety 30mph breezy frontal passage showers.

Yep. I'll be suprised at severe stuff but hey, who knows? Freeze warning tonight...lol.

Although the cold air aloft argues at least a chance of small hail, even in the non-severe storms. Won't be severe level hail, but peas and dimes certainly possible. Idk, extended range looks awful with all the rain chances with limited/none severe chances. Maybe we change things around in May and the heat finally comes.

HRRR still feels there will be a small severe line, even with this out ahead of the line.  This was never about massive warmth ahead of the front but rather upper dynamics.  still may see a line

I have seen line after line after line literally break up before my eyes when they hit the hills here in NW Philly.  It's usually only the real "thick" ones that might have something survive a shredding.  Interestingly enough,, the lines will often come back together again once they cross the river into the flatter coastal plains of South Jersey. :lol:

Being in South Jersey....I call bullshit.  lol  Damn things always seem to miss.  

:lol:  That's why I said "often" but not "always".  It seems the areas just across from Center City (Camden and Burlington Counties) seem to have storms "survive".  I have even watched tornadic clouds from my office window, roll across downtown Philly, and head across the river to start funneling in Jersey. LOL

I always say that about Cumberland County.  Vineland/Millville/Bridgeton is like the severe weather triangle of the area.  It's pretty much Moore, Oklahoma.  lol
