42 here, down 18 in the past 20 or so minutes. My PWS which is not in an optimal position for northerly wind reported a 28mph gust, but the guy up the street who has one in a better position reported a 58.2mph gust on wunderground.

There is a ton of low level shear, enough to pop a tornado in any of these storms or come down to the surface with rain as straight line gusts. If I remember correctly the Ida tornado outbreak was a high shear/low CAPE setup and that wreaked havoc on our area.

60/60, overcast.

Going to be interesting to see the evolution of this SPC outlook. HRRR and NAM both seem like the cool off a good bit as soon as the line enters Eastern Berks, Western Montco/Chesco. NAM also has been hinting at a later arrival time for the Philly burbs which might tamp down the storms a bit.

Lol, been lurking forever (like months, never got my verification email), glad to seem some forums for the area are still active. Unofficially 6.25" on the grass. About 1 inch in the past 45 minutes. Backyard obs: 29, SN+. Station showing gusts around 15mph but I suspect the wind sensor is a bit obstructed
