Rainshadow Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 ...Northeast/Mid Atlantic... A cold front will move eastward across the Northeast today with northwesterly flow aloft associated with an amplifying eastern CONUS upper trough. The pre-frontal warm sector will become moderately unstable with 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE, and storms are expected to intensify along the front from PA into southern New England by mid day into early afternoon. A belt of 30-35 kt westerly mid-level winds and the destabilizing boundary layer should encourage strong to severe wind gusts as activity develops southeastward through the late afternoon and early evening. Isolated large hail may also occur where flow aloft is forecast to be strongest. I figure PHL is "good" for a high of 91 or 92 today which would make it four in a row of 90s in this hot spell and also for the month.

JimCaruso Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 HRRR not doing well with convection at all, no sign of the storms W and NW of Harrisburg now or even in the next few hours of the 16Z run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thunderstorms with potential damaging winds about to enter NW Berks county along I-78. Lightning will also be a concerning hazard today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlurker Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Gusty winds, heavy rain and hail smaller than pea size down here in Middletown, DE. First time in many months that I've seen it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaffer526 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 That line seems to be weakening as it moves southeast. There have been a couple really nice cells both immediately north and south of us, but Blutarsky here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Looked like damaging winds may have happened near Smyrna and points east in Kent/New Castle, then between Cayots and Mt. Pleasant in Cecil/New Castle. An intense storm near Honey Brook, another entering central Chester, one just south of where I am (thundering 5 mins straight), and another near Chesilhurst in Camden county. Small hail and much lightning occurring with most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mshaffer526 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Wow, we just had one hell of a gust front come through. It went from rumbling thunder and a little breeze to a full blown gale in about two seconds. That was wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkersc Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Continuous thunder here in West Chester with a freshening breeze. Almost every storm that has formed has turned severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Looks like some strong winds moved through Berks between Reading and Birdsboro and rural points south. Still an intense line in most of Chester county, which will move into Delaware, lower Montgomery and western Philadelphia, and another intense storm in the forests of Burlington county.

SouthernNJ Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Winds looked 65 to 70 mph near Chatsworth in Burlington with some large hail also. The main line, located from Limerick to Elkton, is organizing and producing several sections of strong winds as it moves into populated areas.

frankdp23 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 All the storms split or weakened as they approached my area. Had a light shower that didnt register on either of my gauges.

phillyflip Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Moving from other topic sorry... In Dixon City west of Lake Wallenpaupack around 5:00 - hail only pea sized but it sounded like golf balls hitting our roof F0831B22-AE0C-4A05-B6C2-BAED6910E543.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlurker Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Very heavy rain down here around 4:30, including ponding on roads and developing flash flooding. It was kinda interesting driving through it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got in from watering my potted dwarf Japanese Cedar. I did note the winds before it started to rain. A wee bit of thunder. Breeze was nice, dropped 15 degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimCaruso Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Rain coming to an end here in Newtown. Windy at the beginning, only a couple of good lightning strikes (each still at least a mile away, but one with a nice long rolling rumble of thunder), but rain not nearly as heavy as last night. Underwhelming overall. I love thunderstorms, but don’t like it when it’s enough to prevent an evening BBQ on the deck, yet not enough to be interesting/exhilarating and then it’s over by 6:30 but everything’s all wet so you still can’t go outside anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkersc Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 0.31" for downtown West Chester. Interestingly enough, high wind was 31mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
