huh.  Your house built of twigs?  Just a decent fropa here but as anticipated, but meh compared to what I've been reading the last couple days.

post frontal was stronger than pre frontal, but not by much.  NWS saying max gust was 48.  That's comparable to a decent Tboomer to me.  No biggie.

Not sure why you would say that unless you want to start something? My house is built just fine. Winds were strong. That was my experience. 

Right now I'm mowing every 3rd or 4th day.

If there's such a thing as a brutal loss on opening weekend, the O's pulled it off.

I am starting to feel jealous with all the rain everyone is getting.  It feels like mid summer already as to the norm.  The curse of the Blizz. 

I've had less than .2" in both rounds combined. Not much rain here, but .70" for the day.

Seems you need precip around to mix them down - but it’s gusty as hell out west still and dry so might just be delayed. It was supposed to be windier after sunset as forecast so time will tell. 
 

And TOR on radar awfully close to Trenton 

Both times it rained here winds went calm. Only blowing when the sun is out.

MDT recorded a sustained 40 and gust of 51. 

It is ripping here. Next round of rain on the doorstep.

This wind is crazy. Holy crap the house is shaking.

Just now, canderson said:

Oddly out of the enhanced SPC too.

The exact area that was out of the running according to SPC.

Canderson has a great mind.

Appears the SE LSV (and Southeast) was where the best dynamics setup today.

That cell about to hit east earl is spinning. 

Shady Maple take cover.

It has indeed gone a tad backwards.   That compact areas SW of Columbia looks quite strong. 

Columbia is 5 miles south of me. Sky looks gnarly down that way.

Well that was a whole lot of nothing outside of a lot of lightning and thunder. .14" of rain, zero wind and a few hail stones. Sun is out and winds are very light.

Heading downstairs. Sky is green and lightning is nonstop. Feeling anxious.

Heavy rain but winds were only in upper 30s with that little storm. It is a hauling thought. Already sunny again.

Wow wish I could post the video, intense hail.

That cell that was west of Harrisburg has quickly grown into a line that extends from Schuylkill County southwest to the M/D line. I'm in the crosshairs shortly.

Temps dropping fast here now...down to 67.  5 degrees in 20 min.  Winds have calmed to 15-20 gusts. 

It's gotten very windy here over the past 15 minutes. Some of these gusts have to be in the 40s.

Storm has hit some fuel due west of Harrisburg and is severe warned.  

Yep, warning up for Maytown now. Winds are already ripping and the storm is still miles away.

Our temp has stopped at 77 here as well.  It is quite gusty at 30-35 but we have gusted over 45 six times since New Years and over 50 three times.   Looking at the radar and the HRRR, I am worried I may get shut out. 

Radar looks nothing like I would have expected. Numerous scattered cells all over western PA...I was assuming a one and done line but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Winds had been steadily increasing over the past few hours but suddenly have gone nearly calm. Temp is up to 77.

Line has entered western PA- it's almost perfectly oriented north/south which is a bit unusual.

Sounds like they are buying into the nam depiction.  On my phone as well. 

Yeah, pretty sharp gradient between Marginal and Enhanced right across the LSV.

Can't post on my phone but a good bit of the central and northern portions of the LSV just got upgraded to Enhanced. Much of Adams and Franklin is still Marginal with Slight risk around and just south of the Turnpike.

All of western PA blue boxed for 30% severe with straightline winds exceeding 50 knots.

It was going to weaken as it moved east (before restrengthening near the NJ line) but the NAM has it riding all of PA as a powerful system without any weakening.   

 

 

 

NAM Nest is especially wicked in the LSV.

Skies clearing out rapidly now after .17" of rain early this morning. 62 degrees on it's way to at least the mid 70s.

FWIW, Elliott really ramped up his wind talk for tomorrow. Up to 60 mph with roof damage and widespread power outages.

So Chicago is not under a moderate risk?
