Hurricane Agnes Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Have a pair of TORs for Lancco and Chesco. I know it is unstable out there for anyone who hasn't already had a pop-up (although some of the pop-ups have been making the humidity worse). Currently 84 with dp 77 here. Got up to a high of 88 earlier (so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I chased that storm in Kutztown and near Allentown that was tornado warned earlier. I was basically under the core of the rotation, just SE of it in a safer location. There was some scud clouds and maybe a little bit of visible rotation, but no funnel. Regardless, still a wild storm and crazy with the multiple tornado warnings and confirmed reported funnels/tornados today. Not entirely surprised though. Some of our best setups are when we have MCVs move through to the north, like today, and you get some pretty strong directional shear that storms can tap into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Supposed TOR passed close to my parent's place down near Lincoln U. TOO close. That cell was trudging straight east out of Quarryville and then turned to the SE with a definite couplet visible on relative velocity. I actually called my mom to make sure they were ok. I would not be surprised if there's storm damage and possibly a track across Rt. 1 near the 896 exit. Guess we'll find out tomorrow, though I'm not seeing anything on CAD (https://www.chesco.org/3963/WebCad-Active-Incidents) so maybe it never touched down at all. Still, scary stuff. Oh, and I'm at .14" for the day. On the third day of previously forecasted, all-day rain and storms. What a joke. Something's wrong--predictability has absolutely gone down the toilet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something's wrong--predictability has absolutely gone down the toilet.Over the past 10 days it looks as if the south mountain range that ends in Easton/Bethlehem and starts in Reading area is splitting these storms deflecting storms to the north towards the blue mountain and south toward northern philly burbs. It makes no sense as the topographic feature is equivalent to a hill in many parts of the country, but it certainly looks like it on radar. .

Scary - loud alert came on my phone and we are in a hotel that doesn’t seem to have much protocol. My mom and I just went to the lobby area. I still am in the Royersford area.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Yeah I expect they EAS broadcast to any (enabled) phone within a TOR Warning's area (and have done it with FFWs, SSWs, etc). I know my weather radio (Sangean) will suddenly go to a real loud volume with TORs and I have to scramble to turn it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was impressive looking from here too, got about 0.10" of rain from it at least. These pics are looking 1st SW, then SE (with a faint rainbow), and finally NE.

CoolHandMike Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 FINALLY a direct hit from a passing cell. Can't wait to add another couple of hundredths to the tally.

Albedoman Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Wow, first decent t-storm since April. Real good squall line coming through with lots of heavy rain. Quakertown and points south should be in the mix too. My garden will love this. This rain event is helpful but not a drought buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I can see rushing to turn it down. It said “you are in imminent danger,” and yes I dropped some things I was doing at the time. I ended up with little more than some rain. I feel lucky.

CoolHandMike Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 .33" for the day. I'll take it. Forecast says .5" tomorrow. I remain skeptical. Still, it IS crazy humid outside. AND my new A/C is acting up again. Three technician visits in two months? Time to start replacing all the things, and making it work, or what? I dunno what to do at this point. Court? Do lemon laws apply to A/C systems? We did a ton of research for the right system and now we're feeling a little bit jaded. We had such high hopes, but it's turning out to be a complete quagmire.

They just need to get it to work consistently. We cannot be the only people to have this system installed; it's becoming increasingly frustrating why they can't seem to get it right. Planning on having strong words with their support in the morning and escalating as necessary. (Not going to go full on rage mode on the dispatcher, because it's not their fault and I'm not a jerk to people just doing their job. But this needs to be escalated, and it will be, so help me jebus.) 73°F/72 DP it's just gross outside right now, but at least the smoke has finally abated. It's 77 in my office right now. A/C is blowing at 65°F through the vents and barely making an impact. Ceiling fans and stand-alone oscillating fans will get us through the night at least.
