Parsley Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 looks like a meso low over nw berks county? Neat little spin in there. Yeah interesting feature. Gradually darkening skies. Doesn't look threatening though to the average joe not following the radar. (Ex: my neighbors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 2 distinct areas of high winds starting to show up on velocity...one is up by ephrata, the other west of oxford along the m/d line. Radar is still way out, so the wind is up pretty high like 8k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
