MAG5035 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Looking at mesoanalysis, dynamics are definitely the big factor in the severe threat from this line. Effective helicity is pretty notable in a narrow corridor of west central PA just ahead of the line. Same goes for effective bulk shear as well. Limiting factor is CAPE, which is only of the few hundred J/kg variety in western PA. Thus, QLCS spinups are quite possible directly associated with the line given significant helicity/shear. Eastern PA still pretty stable, so we shall see how the atmosphere evolves as the line traverses PA. We’re def in the warm sector here. Quite warm/humid considering the date (66/58ºF on the station here). Winds are really ripping. KAOO wind is SSE 33mph gust to 45 with a high gust of 55mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The wind part was quick but it was legit. Power flashed off at the height of the winds so unsure of the gusts, but definitely was easily of the severe variety. Had some pea sized hail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always said if you like boring weather, Bedford Co. is the place to be. Less than that in Three Springs. Ridge and Valley from Bedford through maybe Sunbury is probably the most boring weather region in this state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, big winds in what seems like a gravity wave here. I think I had a gust about 30 minutes ago that was stronger than anything since Isabel here. My trashcan is gone. Don't want to exaggerate but it had to be 60+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trashcan is gone. Don't want to exaggerate but it had to be 60+. You had some sun before us and that can upset stable stuff and the 70-80kn winds are at 2-3k so doesn’t take much to mix them down. I don’t doubt that guesstimate at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
