Central PA Spring 2025

[Jns2183]

The southern portion of the line has significantly more n-s motion, less w-e motion compared to the northern portion. Lightning looks to be increasing as it comes out of the mountains some and into areas that had some sun recently. I see showers popping up in front maybe on outflow boundary? Id usually worry at this point about storms blowing up to my east, robbing main line of energy and effectively jumping over me, but east is much more stable.

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. 

If we do get decent storms it's all because of that hour of partly sunny conditions heating the BL some. That might also be why your dew point dropped some. We might have had a little inversion trapping some moisture near surface and the sun and winds were able to mix out some

Yes the sun has come out here as well in last half-hour.

Up to 71 here.  Storms to the south in wv panhandle are strengthening.   I have a bad feeling about this event

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+.

Absolutely agree.  We have an open southern exposure and I cannot recall such a sustained event.  Next door neighbor's large willow was toppled a few hours ago.  KLNS reported a 52 gust but I'm sure I've had stronger than that here.

Up to 68 here and still heavy clouds. Windy here, but not as bad as on the ridges surrounding the town. I can hear trees roaring at times like I did during Sandy.

Looking at future radar, it appears that any type of storm I see is going to be post sunset, and perhaps fully nocturnal.

It’s slowed way the hell down, that for sure.

Still a lot of stations reporting dew points in the 60s in Cumberland and York counties. Winds have calmed

Would you say “it’s training time”? Lol

We need that rain so maybe!

You can see the line hit where the instability stopped - SPC nailed this

Great news. 

[canderson]

Hey @Jns2183 there’s your thunder. That is about all the bite this line has here - it has calmed out totally. But rain will be nice. 

[mahantango#1]

Thunderstorm here. Pouring rain some thunder

Now there's a good bit of thunder and lightning with them now 

[canderson]

Glorious heavy rain - no wind above what was already here.

[Jns2183]

I'm now hoping we can at least clear 1" of rain. 2" would be a dream

.4” in the first part 

[Itstrainingtime]

Looking at radar, it might be quite some time until the rain makes it here. 

[Voyager]

We had a little pre-show rain move through. Line still looks pretty solid to my west yet, though. We'll see if she holds. I'm not expecting anything severe, but a few noisy flashes would be nice.

[canderson]

Back into heavy rain - I feel I won the lottery.

I wish we had this the next 8 hours. Perfect sleeping thunder and rain

The cluster of cells over us now briefly had super cell structure as it crossed are Md line. 

[canderson]

Great thunder! 

[Yardstickgozinya]

I ment signature not  structure.  It also had a nice hail core as it crossed the MD line.

[Jns2183]

This seems like the kind of slow moving front that would drop widespread 4"+ if this were June.

Seems like the line just can't move east. I never thought I'd still be awaiting its arrival post 8pm.

[mahantango#1]

.70 rain so far.

Good call . Maybe spring needs the optimism only the Blizz can provide.
