Hurricane Agnes Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Actually ended up hitting 77 for a high and it's currently partly sunny and 72 with dp that has crept up to 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 SWDY2 has a good chunk of the lower 1/3rd of the CWA under a "Marginal Risk" for severe - I managed to remain mild overnight with a "low" (so far) at 57. Currently overcast (had some low stratus earlier) and 59 with dp 58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to fire up the central air a couple hours ago to cool it down in here since the fans were useless and I figured that it was a good time to test it out to make sure it was operating okay. The warm front has been wavering in the area and it took a bit to get the temps here into the mid-60s vs yesterday's 77. So far it has gotten as high as 67 after a low of 55 and it's currently partly sunny and 64 with dp 56. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 A chilly 61 for a high today, warm front hasn’t made it through yet. Looking like our first 80s of the year tomorrow. Some guidance has southern areas of our region in the mid 80s before the cold front pushes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 SWDY1 has shifted the area's severe threat further south into the Delmarva - Am currently at my low for the morning - 53, with dp 52 and the sidewalk is wet, so have had some non-measurable something overnight.

JTA66 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Clouding up, but not expecting more than a heavy shower at best, 72F/DP 62F. Looks like it's gonna be one of those upside down years where Christmas was cooler than Easter. Go figure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've got some kind of alley going on here. I'd argue increasing average ocean temps, and our area's geographic relation to the ocean, could play a role in the increase of local tornadogenisis. Warmer ocean = warmer air flow off the ocean during common SE ridging = stronger interaction with approaching cold fronts = more extreme lift and chance for vorticity to develop along the front. Does this sound right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Massive arctic high this weekend thinks Saturday highs being overplayed and it doesn't get out of the 40's especially northern sections. Last gasp of the pattern likely. Primo mid spring weather follows the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this sound right? Well, I may agree in the warmer months however the latest tornado outbreak this was not the case it was pure dynamics. The line moved towards the coast and made it with ocean water temps 43-49 degrees north to south. The latest severe weather event was the most interesting I have ever seen in my lifetime especially for April 1st. No Joke! I have never seen anything like this event for these reasons: 1. The constant roar basically for 20-25 minutes it sounded like there was a jet plane 2,000 feet off the ground. 2. The lightning was very unusual sideways lightning strikes that were red and orange?? 3. I also saw lighting in perfect circles like they were rotating. With everything I stated above I would imagine the dynamics were off the chats and also it's not out of the question there was tornadic activity right above the surface if even it was a 500 to 1,000 feet off the ground. A very unusual event there on Saturday, April 1st! All of this happened in Media Delaware County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in the meantime it's 81 IMBY at the moment! And that is with dp at 64 so am glad the AC is on because the brick does absorb that warmth. It's possible that the cold front might moderate some.

Ralph Wiggum Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'm at Cape May Point and maybe in one of the better Southern zones for the severe threat later tonight. Looks like best convection will be just S across Lewes across to the Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
