    Getting brighter here currently. Mount Holly thinks the warm front may reach as far North as Philly by late afternoon. May need to watch the Delmarva later. from AM update FXUS61 KPHI 031344 AFDPHI Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 944 AM EDT Fri May 3 2019 Another shortwave trough will begin approaching the region by late afternoon and into the early evening hours. Thus, this time frame will be a focus for scattered showers and a few thunderstorms to develop. Currently not expecting and of these storms to be severe, but given modest instability during the late afternoon, cannot rule out a rogue strong storm or two perhaps reaching severe criteria, particularly across Delmarva.

    @bluewave Do you feel the general warmth and especially the warmth in the recent fall months, Sept and October mostly, has been associated with the above average SST off the East Coast and the nature of the WAR. A sort of feedback taking place possibly which also plays a role in moisture transport up along the East Coast and warmer over night lows via higher dews. Any thoughts? Thanks !

    Same here CAPE, I missed any rotaton to my North but of note was the intense rainfall so loud in fact that is blocked out the thunder which was almost a constant hum. I was in a warned area though. This storm did not compare at all with the rather intense cell (s) we had earlier this week. The one that hit us at 2:45 AM and lasted unabated until 3:15 AM. Constant winds over 35 gusting to 60 That was a every 4 year storm to me. The winds should dry things nicely tomorrow , maybe cut the grass again.

    That last enhanced risk for my area was like a mini derecho. Where as that line hit at 2:45 AM this looks like maybe 6 PM here. I am hoping for no downed trees, finally got the yard looking nice. Will be an interesting late afternoon. Also, just like the last time, the winds will be stong tomorrow around the area, however, doubt we get the high wind advisory, but you never know. The last advisory was posted rather late. Has been an active April for sure .

    To some the weekend has started early. Many folks I know are off tomorrow.

    You are correct, there was a rather dramatic decrease in areal QPF in the latest WPC discussion and forecast. Not often do you see such a reduction close to real time from them. What was consistent for over 8 cycles, 4 days, has shifted the heaviest rainfall well South of us , coinciding with the higher severe risk. I am still expecting a decent rainfall event but not epic.

    Not nearly as bad up here above the canal, but that was a wicked cells/line from 2:45 AM to about 3:16 AM. We were in a warned area at that time from Mount Holly. Almost like a mini derecho. Continuous heavy rain, blinding sheets and constant high wind and then gusts, maybe up to 55 to 60 . The only missing element were winds higher to say 70 or more. Thought there would be many downed tree but got very, very lucky. Only broken limbs.

    Yoda, what are your feelings for the Delaware area with storms later today. Thanks. I do see a hazard mention up for the upper Bay to my West.
  13. frd
    Yeah. Your area did better than many. Seems even in March the seasonal trends continue : From Mount Holly for later in the week : Will say that there do seem to be some similarities to the pattern we saw for much of February with troughing in the West and ridging in the East, but also cold air and high pressure not far north over eastern Canada. So an early hypothesis on the end of the week would feature something we`ve seen several times this winter: a leading wave sliding over or south of the region around Friday, with a larger storm behind it tracking to our west through the Great Lakes.

    Never feel bad for Boston. They get from one storm, what I typically get in a season. 2 decent storms for them equals a good winter here. I get it, they have an awesome location and snow climo. I am bitter. I will enjoy the three upcoming days of highs at or below freezing on my barren ground as Boston locks into a deep winter period.

    I thought the lattitude here would help me to a degree even the the elevation is 72 feet LOL I knew there were going to be issues when I checked the obs last night and saw folk West of me at rather high elevations reporting rain. I knew at that time Pamela Anderson was visiting again. I had to text my daughter at UD in Delaware and tell here classes as planned. showme was right the mids sucked. AND ...... 64 pages for freakin rain. Time for the warm weather.

    I can report a small area of snow under the wiper blade. I honestly thought, as late as 6 PM last night, Northern Delaware schools would be getting at the least a 2 hour delay. Surprisgly they closed last Friday from Thursday's night storm which was only around 3 inches maybe 4 in certain spots. Thr trend this year has also been warm wet and we hardly ever get snow on the ground with an incoming cold air mass. How freak'in boring. Like to go back to the 1960's winters or lore.

    Had a winter storm warning here for 3 to 5 inches, more forecasted just to my North ( up to 8 inches ) Currently at my location heavy rain and nothing on the ground, what a bust. A huge bust at that ! And a bust of forecast for just 6 hours ahead. Incredible dissapointment for a lot of the kids in my area hoping for either a 2 hour delay or even a possible cyber day.

    All rain here the last 4 hours after decent snow between4 to 5 PM. ( grass and cars covered atrthat time ) Winter storm warning for up to 4 inches here but lucky to get 6 millimeters the way things look now. Snow Life sucks in the Northern Mid Atlantic .....

    As HM had posted, if we had better spacing we could be facing a MECS. ( or as he said a HA event ) Due to the change in the NAO phase. Whether indeed the final outcome would be all snow or not, who knows. But, currently the trend is very favorable for March 3rd and 4 th. Seems that cold air really wants to move South.

    Snow coming to an abrupt end here. Came down hard the last three hours but the back edge moved in quickly. 2.5 inches and that is decent for it starting at 9:30 AM. Might have to shovel, and clear the cars. 28 degrees. Roads pretty nasty. Brine did little good here.
  23. frd
    Moderate snow here, a coating, but picking up. Secondary roads snow covered. Heavier bands to my West.

    Snow just started in Middletown, DE., I am a few miles from the C and D canal, close to the MD state line.

    Just got back from taking a walk with the dog in this wonderful weather, love it ! Measured about 3.25 inches here so far with very light snow still falling.
