dryslotted Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Starting a thread to ensure nothing of consequence happens in the region. Seriously, discussion/obs for today's festivities go here. Maybe someone can start banter thread if the chase teams do wind up gearing up and heading out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 To me tonight looks more of a light show and heavy rain with some embedded cells that may go svr. But the main threat looks like hvy rain with pwats in the 1.7-2 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affenage Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I can hear it coming in the air tonight. Hold on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Could be a split job for those south of the Tpk from chesco east. That main blob wants to pull northeast. Gotta see if new stuff forms south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Pwats doing some damage tonight. 2.5"/ hr rainfall rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaffer526 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like if I was about 15 miles north I'd be sitting pretty. Instead, I think I'll be watching the lightning from afar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaffer526 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 For now, absolutely torrential rain in Gap. Lightning/thunder in excess, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU_Wxgirl Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Lightning and thunder steadily increasing just south of Pottstown. Heaviest precipitation is to my west. Lights have already flickered so I'm hoping they hold out for the night. Radar indicates there could be some hail.

walkersc Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here in west chester, continuous lightning to my north. A couple close strikes in the Boro within the last 5 minutes. Looks like the southern side of this complex is really firing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my weather station is online so I will be curious as to how much rain falls. Anyways, lots of Ning here in Drexel hill and some rumbles of thunder. Your town looks to get crushed with that blob moving over and just south of ptw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkersc Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Mason-Dixon Line lighting up to the west. Looks like there could be some training problems if it gets it's act together. Nasty 73° dewpoint here in WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affenage Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 So far so good. Heard a rumble a little bit ago, hoping its another miss. Would like to get some sleep tonite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCat Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Heaviest cells staying just west of Phoenixville. Some rain here, but moderate. Local lightning but infrequent; perhaps one a minute or less. Spectacular light show to the north and west however, probably once every 5-10 seconds. Looks like Pottstown and environs are taking the brunt. edited to add: Looks like all that's gonna' change soon ... lot'sa red on radar about to move right over us. This time, seems to be the top half of ChesCo getting hit; Kennett Sq and Oxford appear untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCat Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 yea you are going to get blasted with some hvy rain Ya' got that right ... now Biblical proportion and all that. 'Ning has diminished in frequency, but closer. More coming. Vis < 1/4 mile, little wind. Had two brief power drops but back on and holding. Appears to be some ponding and heavy runoff on roads. ChesCo and MontCo Fire/EMS dispatches about average for the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
