Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Near Hannover someone took a nice low light picture of the shelf cloud associated with our line. Looks like multiple layers and crisp. Not common here at all. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamTraveler Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 That was some of the worst and longest sustained powerful winds I've seen in a very long time. Is it weird that I can't really remember winds sustained this powerful since hurricane Irene? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Before I crash I saw a couple mets on Twitter mentioning how the small mesos within the line were dancing around each other in maybe a weird Fujiwara effect way. Between what I experienced with the rapid change in strong wind direction and saw on radarscope this line far exceeded my hopes. It was new, different, in interesting ways with an amazing firework show. Plus got double the high-end forecasted rain, with about an 1". Some young met student could probably do a create senior thesis on this line tonight. Or a case study for an experienced met where he gets to tell us what crack the NAM3K and FVS3 decided to smoke all day and why along with the interesting storm features. I'm most happy for the parched people to our south. The one guy in mid Atlantic forum, whose area is still strongly in D2 only had 1.87" since June 1st and I think less than 2.35" since May 1st. The line blew up south enough to give them a good drink. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it weird that I can't really remember winds sustained this powerful since hurricane Irene? lol20 min plus of continuous strong winds here. I wish I had an anemometer in my roof. I live in a narrow but 3 story house and I spent storm in my daughter's room on top floor with big windows facing west. Her one latch and lock is broken so when the wind abruptly shifted directions and increased speed it whipped window wide open as it opens outward. I had to get my belt to have enough leverage to close it in that wind until I almost had it a foot away from closing and wind direction spun back to coming from the west causing window to slame shut. Then I felt everything vibrating from my walls to the window along with a loud hallowing and it just kept on going. Being 3 stories and being the only 3 story place in some distance with nothing to break the wind but some mature tree canopys across the street. It felt like it did during Isabel Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Did that line kind of split in Schuylkill County, or did my eyes deceive me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Got about .45" of rain here with most of it coming from the blob of rain that passed over well past the line of storms. Top wind gust was 40 almost matching the top gust at MDT which was 43. Top sustained reading on the 5 min output at MDT was 33. CXY top gust was 37 on the 5 min records. The HRRR did a better job than the Nam and Rgem with the eventual track and length of the storm line. A very refreshing 57 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just to put the historical southwest heatwave into perspective... DISCUSSION... The list of broken records to continue to grow for the climate sites across the region during this extremely hot and dry period. Consecutive days of high temperatures at or above 110 degrees and low temperatures at or above 90 degrees rolls on across central Phoenix, with little chance (~10%) of any day over the next week of the high temperature being below 110 degrees. Not only are the temperatures above 110 degrees for the highs, but the daily high temperature records in Phoenix continue to be broken (seven of the last eight days either tied or broke the previous record) and is likely (70-80%) of equaling or exceeding the record temperature of 118 degrees for today. Additionally, this exceptional dry period has grown to 120 days, which is good for 6th on the all-time longest dry streaks for Phoenix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Stopped in to see how interesting things got last night as I had some Tboomer action at my house, but doesnt sound nearly as exciting as Canderson and JNS and others had. Nice morning read. Well done boys @candersonand @Jns2183. About 1/2" in my hood. Happy for it. Have a nice weekend all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Well, as expected that line woke up the whole fam. Certainly lived up to the billing, with nonstop fireworks, howling winds, and .62” of hard rain. Most importantly, things look nice and cleared out for some boating today. Wahoo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Congrats to all that received some rain last night. I got 1.08 and the monthly total is now at 8.09. One thing the farmers crops are looking pretty good up this way, better than last year at this time. But things can go south pretty fast if it starts getting dry in the coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its not storm phobia for your pup. My first Golden had storm phobia and went literally batshit during storms. My Golden (Nash) was a therapy dog, and one of the best trained/obedient dogs I've come by, but when storms came....he blew thru screens to get outside, tried to jump out of send floor window (daughters room on bed), chewed 30" of garage door (after forcing is way OUT of cage w/ blankets over it (docs orders to try to calm him during storms). Rescue Remedy is very helpful to calm them. Toughest part is that it takes about 30 min to take hold, and you almost need to do it in advance to take the edge off. Hoping your pups ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Picked up 0.70” of rain here. With the top gust being 46mph. Montoursville where my son lives got 0.82”. kind of surprised we didn’t end up with higher rain totals. Was a fantastic lighting show for a little bit.

Using WU as a guide, totals in NE PA were indeed lower than some of the earlier looks on models. Lots of near or even under 1/2" reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - I had a shower with some distant lightning and thunder. Top wind gust here was 4.7 mph. Nice rains, don't get me wrong, but on a scale of 1 to 10 as far as storms go...last night would get a 1. A generous 1. (I was out of bed actively watching and tracking, so it's not like my obs were sleepy based. We literally had zero storm factor) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 After our 0.65" of rain this morning we are now all the way back to 95% of normal year to date rainfall through today. A top 10 weather weekend on the way with sunny skies slightly below normal temps and relatively low humidity. A slow warming trend starts next week and we could see our 1st 90+ day here in East Nantmeal for the first time in more than 2 years by the end of the week!
