WmsptWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 This has been some of the most impressive lightning I have seen in a long time.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Past 25 minutes has been better than any fireworks show I've ever seen. Wind hasnt been bad. Rain has been pretty steady. Radar shows a heavier cell coming in right over me, but this has been nice.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Starting to see the lightning even though its cloudy for quite awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Last couple of scans on CTP's radar seems to indicate some weakening. Or it is consolidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I just want a storm where lightning and thunder are so prevalent, continuous, and loud that it starts building 30 min before with the light, followed by the clear continuous sound of thunder like an artillery bottle and then when it hits it turns night into day as the thunder shakes the foundation, walls, and anything on shelves and tables. I've only had those a few times in life but god were they magestic. I'll happily give up some sleep to experience a few nukes worth of energy expanded in the environment in the safest way known to man.

canderson Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 It’s going to hit a few hours sooner than I thought. 1-2 am for MDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Lots of FFW out in western PA. Models really failed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The drama is closing in quickly. All of Cumberland county is under a severe thunderstorm warning for the potential of tornadoes, large hail nearing 1" diameter, 60 mph wind gusts, and torrential rain with flash flooding possible. It's about 7 miles west of me, moving east at 25 mph. That puts the leading edge over me in about 10 minutes (around 1:00am). It's still 77 degrees here and has been 77 for nearly the entire evening. Dew point back up again, now 71 degrees. My lightning detector is showing over 500 strikes since the storms were within 25 miles of me, an increasing quickly. I expect to begin hearing thunder very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I can see the flashes high up over the trees now. Counted 36 in last minute. Still far away from camp hill. It is dead calm here. Eeriely calm. No air moving. Not a damn animal sound and I can usually always hear them. Just now I heard the long deep rumble faintly. Then the breeze started and lightning increasing by the minuteSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 That's about the best looking line on radar I've seen come through in years. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Looks like I've escaped the severe weather. Winds preceded the heavy rain, but my station's max gust has been 9 mph...lol. (not the best exposure for wind). Frequent lightning and thunder. Approaching a 1/2" of rainfall in under 15 minutes. Also, wonderful temperature drop from 77 to 65! I thought I briefly heard a little bit of hail, but I did not see anything, just heard pinging off my metal patio chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Station lightning strike count just hit 1500. Very prolific. It can detect strikes in a diameter out to about 27 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Pretty gnarly outside now but no major major winds I've had insanely weird winds that changed from outflow to inflow and no outflow again. Blew a window open and I see a bunch of small to medium branches down. Winds still whipping house hard.

Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It like there's some embedded mesos riding up the line or something. Wind is still howling. This line absolutely blew up after the mountains when it hit our little severe parameter jackpot I mentioned before.

Jns2183 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It wasn't there for long so I have no idea if it's radar error, some artifact, or a few minutes good rotation that who knows touched the ground Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
