While not a big thunder producer here (CTG strikes) the convergence zone that has set up across the Lehigh Valley has really produced in terms of rain.  Today’s rain total is up to 1.38”.  We are under a FFW which is a good call from Mt. Holly.

No big winds here.  Plenty of colorful radar echoes overhead.  Interesting storm in the sense that there is a constant low rumbling of thunder with it.  It’s all in the clouds.  It’s like somebody set a sound machine to thunder instead of rain.  0.30” so far with 67F.

Interesting sky here however virtually no lightning.  Tornado warned storm is just south of Allentown currently.

Overcast with light rain here as well.  Looks like we get a reprieve from the heat today (or at least part of the day). 77 F

Skies have really opened up out here.  We are getting some decent lightning with this including CTG.  We are severe warned however there’s no wind to speak of.

Vorticity observed on radar with the band moving into Suffolk County.

Strong winds out here this afternoon.  I am seeing gusts of 35-40 mph.

The real superstorm in 1992-93 happened in December.

The so-called March superstorm was mostly an inland storm and had nowhere near the impact that December 1992 had here.

 

I was on LI and the March ‘93 was definitely a Superstorm where I was.  After getting 10” of snow I received about 2 hours of the nastiest sleet I ever heard.  It was extremely loud with the very strong winds that accompanied it.

Is this something where it could dry up as it comes east of the mountains? I've seen that scenario plenty of times.

 

It has to do with the placement and movement of the ULL.

Heaviest snow is between Harrisburg and just to my west in Allentown.  Looks like visibility is getting ready to crash here.

Flurries and some very light snow.  23/14 F

I will take the light snows from the ULL.

Snow from the ULL is possible . Maybe a norlun.

Walt has also commented on the potential of snow from the ULL.

0z NAM is trying to set up an IVT from the ocean storm center N&W towards the island and NYC.

Pressure minimum of 29.08” here.  Have measured multiple gusts over 40 mph.

I can only imagine what the weather boards would've looked like in the 70s and 80s, lol.  NYC gets a 12" snowstorm about every 4.2 years (37 in 155 years at CPK), but had 13 such storms in the last 30 years, which is one every 2.3 years, so we've been spoiled in the age of the internet.  Welcome to climo, as it's barely been 4 years since the last one in 2021.  There were 4 in the 70s/80s or 1 every 5 years, which is probably why it seemed they were so rare when I was growing up.  

I lived in those days and the answer is that it was depressing.

Steady light snow 29/28 F.  1 mile visibility.  3/4” new OTG.

Light snow 31/21 F - Visibility 2 miles 

At the current rate of motion we should be into the snow by 12:30 - 1:00 PM.  Flurries are coming down now not too far west of Allentown.

Border of E MD/PA reporting 1" - 1.5" rates almost immediately, 1" in 45 mins on ground near Manchester

I am seeing a lot of that on traffic cams out in central PA.  Visibility drops quickly as it moves in.  This is happening in Reading now.

Steady snow, moderate in places is breaking out now across south central PA.  This includes the Harrisburg and York areas.

The best combo would be if it stalled and looped around.

I hope you don’t own ocean front or bay front property.
