All Activity

I've dealth with that before, what a pain in the ass.

Low of 67. Sky has gone dark as an impressive looking line sits on the doorstep.

was splotchy

Have fun!! Hopefully storms move thru quick for you

I was basing that on his odd maps..

Nice line of storms moving across southern PA. Can hear the thunder

I could see something like that happening. Super Nino patterns tend to be warm and wet with an active storm track. It looks like he is expecting a classing appalachian runner storm track that leads to big snows for the mountains and interior regions, while the coastal areas/1-95 corridor is on the wrong side of the storm track and gets rain instead. The interior regions, elevations and northern areas have a bit more room for error with the warm anomalies than the I-95 does in terms of the precip staying frozen.

Hail too.

Sky is incredible.

Alright, enough with the rain please

First round yesterday afternoon was almost a complete miss. Everything disintegrated as it moved inland. Last night finally brought some rain. All told just over 2" between the two rounds. Something to keep the drought at bay for another week.

Wanted to respond to this earlier since it's pretty important lightning safety but it is 100% true. People can be a great source as a connecting leader between the ground and the forming stepped leader with positive charges flowing up the connecting leader (which can be people) and when the stepped leader establishes a connection with a connecting leader...lightning! In fact, because of this the "flash" actually travels from the ground to the cloud but the whole process is so quick we see it was going from the ground to the cloud.

Pretty significant storm motoring through central PA near Harrisburg. Looks like we'll get something out of this in the next hour or two.

Was just about to come in here and say that too

This storm complex is louuuuuud

Friday and Saturday were as intense rain as I have ever seen. Gravel driveway washed out yet again.

Wasn't expecting a severe thunderstorm warning at 8 am

Was reading up about downtown Springfield/Forest Park area...pretty crazy. Forest Park closed until further notice due to storm damage. Was just at the Forest Park Zoo last weekend for Bew at the Zoo. When I parked at the T station, saw the watch was out, and those storms in east-central NY, I knew Springfield would get crushed. Don't think it was bad on my end though...a good 10-15 minutes northeast of that area.

Holy shit, the lightning storm I just encountered in southern Huntingdon county. One of the most prolific lightning producers I've seen in some time.

we have returned to previous days pattern after a one day storm break yesterday - showers already moving this way from central PA - nothing severe YET. UPDATE : One just turned severe few minutes after I made this post SVR from KCTP

Min 59.5° Deep summer may be on its last legs…especially NNE.
