Rtd208 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Picked up 0.94" of rain for the day. Current temp 71/DP 64/RH 80% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Filmed during the second round of storms. Possible microburst? Winds look straight line, so I doubt it was a tornado. Lots of tree damage around my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Here's the second and the better of the two storms today. This storm really accelerated out of nowhere. I almost missed it altogether. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattinpa Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yesterday was the worst it had been in a long time. We got scary straight line winds in Upper Providence here. Wasn’t as strong as in other locations, though. My power was out from 12:30 to soon after midnight. I was happily surprised because the message said it would be back 12 PM on June 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost missed it altogether. Great pic!!! When I was watching the little complex on radar coming down from the NW, it looked like 3 discrete cells that eventually congealed into a blob, with the cells still somewhat intact. One of the cells exhibited some rotation just before coming into Philly, which prompted the TOR. I didn't have my little convertible laptop with my GR2Analyst up and running to see what the volumetric view looked like (and how high-topped the cells might have been), but need to get that going in case we get more pulse-type stuff today. It might also get interesting next week with Cristobal remnants getting ingested in a Low progged to form in the midwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Lost power from round two last night until about 1:30am. Was all set to finally have to drag out the genny this morning but glad I didn't have to. PECO's original estimated restoration time for us was 11pm tonight! Those guys are awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I headed out when the storm moved into Jersey figuring I had some time, but the southern part of that storm bowed out a bit and accelerated. I couldn't believe how quickly it was on top of me. I had to grab my camera and run out into the field before I missed it. I think that storm may have been topped near 40 kft, but I may be mistaken.

They were some of the quickest moving storms in recent memory. (I think I heard 60-65mph?) Imagine if they were slow moving w/the winds cranking for extended periods....would have been a real mess. 82F / DP 66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to NOAA WR ahead of the derecho and I heard, "moving east at 90 mph". It took a couple seconds before it registered.......wait, did I hear that right? Had to go look for myself. It's not very often you see those kind of speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 PECO estimates power will be back Friday night at 11pm. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. Got hit dead center on that derecho and then round 2 was even more intense imo. It had higher wind gusts for a longer period of time and a lot more precipitation, caught me off guard as I wasn't paying much attention to radar. A derecho and a microburst in one stationary location must be pretty rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Current temp here is now 86, which was my high for yesterday before the derecho came barreling through. This time there's nothing on the radar in the area at the moment to rain the temperature down, so will see how high I'll go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hilarious. I remember when they finally released the film to buy in the fall of 1996 (just before DVDs were eventually made available in 1997), and I had already put together a Dolby Digital 5.1 home theater with an AC-3 laserdisc player and bought that on laserdisc. I used it, "Independence Day", "Jurassic Park", and "Forrest Gump" (all on laserdisc) as great "demo" movies for the sound (notably working out my subwoofer). That is definitely a movie. Well my temp has surpassed yesterday's high so far and am at 87. Dp is in the upper 50s, so not the sauna of yesterday (just popped outside and definitely a difference), but the sun is strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I definitely laughed out loud a bunch. Laserdisc. Wow. lol Independence Day and Jurassic Park must have sounded great. It's a total movie. And hilariously inaccurate. "It's the cone of silence"..? Seriously? And they had the NWS help them out, too. I've actually lost a couple degrees. Peaked at 88F, down to 86. Dew point is down to 64.

I've actually lost a couple degrees. Peaked at 88F, down to 86. Dew point is down to 64. Independence Day's blowing up of the Empire State building, Jurassic Park's T-Rex escape, Forrest Gump's Vietnam attack scene (made more dramatic by being preceded by Buffalo Springfield's "For what it's worth"), and just about any scene in Twister where a tornado appears (although the drive-in movie scene was probably the loudest). Also remember back then there wasn't really any "consumer high-speed internet", let alone any tablets or smart phones - and not even Windoze 98, so their sat connections were pretty cool-looking (although I expect relatively "slow"). If anything, I think it provided an alternative view of "scientists" beyond the stereotypical coke-bottle glassed nerds with a pocket protector and slide rule firmly attached to a pants belt, and brought some excitement (Hollywood style) to the field itself - and notably for chasers (I was this close >< to majoring in it and picked chemistry instead because at the time ('79), the job prospects were much better for chemists than for mets). And Mother Nature's "conservation of the temperature in a search for equilibrium" meant your 86 became my 88 (the other "lost" degree went to someone else). ETA - and I just clicked over to 89 so that little lone degree wanted to join his buddy over here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
