    Some heavy storms drifting slowly North right along the Maryland -Delaware state line. Sky currently darkening towards my South.

    And bone dry here as well in the North . The boundary too far West. Although the forecast earlier in the day did have likely odds of some rain, I believe 60 %. Eh...such is life. As you know just West of SW Delaware they got it some good rain in spots . Today Delaware was right on the State line with accumulated precip , LOL Oh @C.A.P.E. the Nimble Giant looks very yummy...... :-)

    At least maybe get some better swells down the road, it has been rather lame wave-wise along the lower Southern NJ coastline . Early next week has some potential possibly. But on a positive note, ocean temps near the surf zone have warmed the last few days.

    Same here, eggplants finally getting bigger with a few flowers. All in all, so far, so good.

    OMG, got nailed again with even larger hail more than 1 inch. Incredible. I am tired now all this weather watching , need a beer or two or three

    Yet another STW for me. Wonder if that line weakens before it gets here. The most robust part of the line seems to be North of me, with what looks like a bowing out across extreme Northern Delaware. Guessing the highest winds up there.

    Well ,that was worth the warning, winds to about 40 maybe 45 , blinding rain in sheets, hail about .75 I think. Over 1.25 inches of rain in less than 35 minutes No tree damage, so thats good but not sure about the garden and the hail , I hope its Ok will look a bit later.

    Well lets see how the trees and garden makes out. I rather not do high winds anymore, surprised this is tracking this way after the downpour already and the air temp is way down. Severe Thunderstorm Warning DEC003-MDC015-291915- /O.NEW.KPHI.SV.W.0151.190629T1847Z-190629T1915Z/ BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Warning National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 247 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for...

    Right now some sort of boundary setting up on the Eastern Shore ( storms developing along it ) to my West and Northwest far displaced from the line moving Se from PA. A lot of thunder here now. I too saw that anvil you mentioned. Very impressive too watch

    That storm, which is to my WSW , not too far really, is dropping incredible rainfall based on the radar loop .
  11. frd
    Seems severe hail today is a moderate risk. On the link here https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0461.html Do you know the difference in the table under risks ? The SPC mentions a moderate risk for severe hail, and a low risk for 2 inch plus hail. What defines severe hail ?
  12. frd
    Storms on the move SE already from NW and Central PA.

    Grass has gone brown, who knows how long it will last, except to say it looks dry for a while. Tonight's storms be a drop in the bucket. This time of year the sun can wipe out soil moisture in minutes. Meanwhile, all the straw is out of stock in my area, wanted to add more to the garden, now have to wait. And, for the Crepe Myrtle may try neem oil. I really don't want to use anything on it, but at this rate all the buds will be gone, I hate Japanese bettles.

    Looking at the Dover radar some very isolated cells forming and moving NE from the central Chessy Bay. Looks to headed towards the upper Eastern Shore.
  15. frd
    Your thinking that line out in Western PA. keeps together and drops South and East as the evening progresses ? Then I believe the general idea is it stalls, and depending where it stalls you then get that flood threat tomorrow late day and evening. As mentioned by Mount Holly. The system later in the week is progged to be a strong one, the last in the series. Saturday might be a great beach day. Then I see showers introduced into the forecasts again for Sunday. Not a long break in rainfall if indeed that is true.

    Severe really of the table conus-wide as things have calmed down considerably.

    My bad, sorry, I did not mean for that video to take up valuable space here, it was meant for banter.

    @mappy I am guessing you missed the majority of the storms mappy ? I think you are located near the PA and MD line out West, and at the recent Southern boundary of the most active severe weather in PA, is that right ? One thing for sure, I did get a lot of rain yesterday, and I missed a warned celll to my South by a few miles.

    Townsend/Warwick aera... Delaware to my South getting hit pretty good right now. To this day still figuring out why so many nasty storms miss to my South , maybe the canal ( C & D ) and waterway, not sure.
  21. frd
    It sure has mappy. In my region last night I watched the movement of a radar indicated tornado in Cumberland county, NJ. as it tracked SE across extreme SW New Jersey. This morning I discovered it must have maintained itself or touched down again further SE over the waters near Fortescue, NJ. A fishing boat captain took this photo. Pretty cool image right there.

    Great insights, thanks .....With all the media coverage by the local news networks, at least in my viewing area last evening, a lot of folks are on edge. Accu-weather was doing detailed play by play on hail cores, trajectories, rotations and other cool visuals. I enjoyed watching it. Its been a while where there have been several days in a row of severe weather in my parts, let alone tornadoes, water spouts and baseball size hail up North.
  23. frd
    Looking at the radar over the Midwest at this time and the general complex's movement I would agree that just around DC., and to it's North would be in for the goods later. And wow to the rainfall potential as well. I actually wonder if some rogue storms hit early near and around Baltimore before the main show later.
  24. frd
    In regards to what you were saying @mappy about watches .... I had several Bradford pear trees I had went down a couple years ago, in a storm that did not have even have a warning, quick moving discrete cell, estimated winds of over 70 mph. In 30 years only a few watches for my area yielded a severe event. But, I understand and appreciate the reasoning with watches, and it is always best to be prepared. We are talking life, loved ones and property here. Kudos the the NWS and the SPC for what they do.
