    I took out my driveway markers today.

    Probably should merge this sub-forum with the NYC sub-forum.

    SPC outlook for tomorrow.
  4. MGorse
    Yup, I had the backdoor open before the squall arrived and could hear the roar of the wind approaching. Classic low-topped squall line.
  5. MGorse
    Power flickered and saw several power flashes in the distance. Peak gust to 56 mph.
  6. MGorse
    This is how these types of events have been treated for decades. Also, not every spot in a warning experiences wind damage.
  7. MGorse
    Wrong message? This line has produced wind gusts to 68 mph. No AI. OMG!
  8. MGorse
    There is no AI influence in NWS warnings. They are issued by trained Meteorologists.
  9. MGorse
    Showers are convective as well. I know it seems odd having a Severe Thunderstorm Warning with no lightning, but that is the best way the NWS can handle these types of events.

    68 mph gust at the Reading airport! SPECI KRDG 170213Z 29041G59KT 1 1/2SM R36/4000VP6000FT +RA FEW021 BKN027 OVC035 09/06 A2927 RMK AO2 PK WND 28059/0211 WSHFT 0159 RAB08 PRESRR P0007 T00890061

    It is convective (low-topped in this case) with severe wind gusts thus handled with Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.
  12. MGorse
    Yup, it looks like quite the temperature drop overnight.
  13. MGorse
    66 mph wind gust at Dulles with the narrow squall line!
  14. MGorse
    Meanwhile, heavy snow falling in western PA at this time.
  15. MGorse
    Disagree with your first sentence.

    There have been some wind damage reports mainly in the York and Harrisburg areas so far. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/today.html

    It is not just the wind direction that is a factor. All day the flow was southerly and it still is. A very messy warm sector with low cloud cover and showers today is what tempered the severe weather risk. Powerful cold front moves through later this evening and that should be accompanied by a low-topped line. That could still tap into the strong wind field to produce areas of damaging winds.
  18. MGorse
    The flow is southerly and not easterly.
  19. MGorse
    The tornado watch probably should not have included the coastal counties due to flow off the cold ocean. Along the NJ Shore it is currently only in the upper 40s to low 50s.
  20. MGorse
    Yup the tornado watches issued due to the strong shear profiles. The issue is all of the showers messing with the instability and thermal profiles in the lower levels.
  21. MGorse
    This is not a tropical system setup. Big difference.
  22. MGorse
    Except that southeast flow will increase the low-level rotation. In addition, this is a very dynamic system so not as much instability is needed for damaging storms. I do agree that the greatest severe risk is to our west and southwest. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.

    0.1 inches of snow here. Not bad after lower 80s yesterday and low 60s early this morning.
  24. MGorse
    Temperature down to 33F here and snowing pretty good. Non-paved surfaces have a slushy coating. It is nearly 50 degrees colder now compared to this time yesterday!
  25. MGorse
    81F Quite the temperature gradient at the coast.
