Newman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Derecho/Bow Echo today??? It looks good out in western PA already. CAMs are unimpressive but radar looks tasty with it starting to grow upscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no Expert but it seems when the storms have that trajectory South east I guess you call it? we seems to get the very severe storms around here, when they move East or Northeast they seem to fizzle then re fire up to the East. Is there any validation to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 12Z NAM looks out of touch as it doesn't have the line of storms in north-central PA. I think it's a day of looking at the radar, not the models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ended up with a high of 74 yesterday after a low of 54 but the humidity started creeping in late in the day. The low was much warmer this morning at 62 and after I was completely missed by the showers this morning, I had to counter-intuitively pull out the hose (given the forecast for the rest of the week) because the poor plants were bone dry. It's now off to the races with a temp of 83 and dews back into the 60s this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Got some stuff bubbling up, warnings lofted, and all moving this way from the NW. Currently 85 here and hazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that they're any more severe than other storms, but when the storms ride out ahead of cold fronts with the type of bulk shear and unidirectional flow that we have today, they can be longer lived and more widespread.

I've often wondered if localized cold fronts (like those in CAD events) played more of a role in this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasingFlakes Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 That was a good one! Suprised I still have power. Definitely a lot of large limbs down all over the place. Havent seen gusts that strong around here in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Pretty uneventful here. Downpour, a few distant rumbles of thunder, and 2 gusts. No damage, no hail, no naders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Went to the top of the nearby hiking spot to catch some pics. Once I got the 80mph warning and saw some lightning I booked it down, got to my car just in time. The first mile drive back the wind was incredible. I almost was blown off the road and trees/branches were literally falling all around me and flying into my car. I parked on the side of the road in a field with no trees around and thank God I did. Massive trees down across southern Berks. This is the pic I got, if I waited any longer I was gonna be in trouble. Maybe not my smartest decision but I'm alive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Pottstown spotter reported a 76 mph gust. The back edge is moving through now and so far (since it's moving so fast) I got 0.20" with 0.85"/hr rate at the peak. Temp is down to 75 at post time. ETA - PWS reported final max rate was 1.06"/hr at peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those early afternoon storms sometimes pack a pretty good punch. Some strong winds and heavy rain here with a couple of rumbles of thunder.

Lady Di Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Missed the high wind gusts down here. Had a few pea sized hail as it arrived- seems to be past me now. That front was moving. Wow!! to you folks up to the north of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
