  1. Really nice storm just went through my place west of Allentown. Tons of lightning, gusty winds but not quite severe. A few power outages around Lehigh County, fortunately I still have power. New line starting to form behind this one? Some strengthening storms out near Williamsport.
  2. Radar estimates about 1 1/2” of rain at my place. 5 miles SE there’s been 5-6” of rain with water rescues taking place on route 309. I believe part of the route is still closed since there’s still standing water there.
  3. Last time I can remember a pattern like this was summer 2018. We had a string of lots of very humid days like this with non-severe, but drenching showers and storms. Although they did add a slight risk for today so we might get some pretty strong storms with the flood threat.
  4. Worst possible timing for this line of storms. Union vs. NY Red Bulls was supposed to start at 7 and they delayed kickoff 10 minutes before. Now it’s uncertain if they’ll even play the game tonight. Glad I didn’t buy tickets.
  5. That storm near Pottstown right now looks pretty crazy. Unfortunately here in Allentown it looks like we’ll just get some heavy rain and a few rumbles of thunder.
  6. Radar looks juicy AF over central PA. Favorable environment out ahead of everything too. Could be a fun late afternoon/evening.
  7. Winds are more WNW than NW as originally anticipated today which is leading to some training storms in the Lehigh Valley, rather than the quick ones we were supposed to get. As if we needed anymore rain.
  8. Chased the tornado warning earlier, saw some gusty winds and close lightning. Still not a bad storm. I’m glad it happened now and not this Friday-Saturday.
  9. Without a doubt the craziest lightning storm in years around here!!! Lightning just struck less than 1/4 mile from me and it’s just a constant barrage of CGs. This is just ridiculous!
  10. Insane amount of CGs with this storm. Most are buried in the rain but some are peeking out and putting on a hell of a show.
  11. Constant lightning and a steady rumble to the SW. Been awhile since we’ve had a good nighttime show like this.
  12. Can’t find it on RadarScope. Either they took it off there for some reason or it was discontinued.
  13. South Jersey is basically screwed out of radar data for awhile. Eastern PA can use CCX and LWX so they at least have something.
  14. KDIX is down with no ETA as to when it will return to service. That really sucks with lots of storm chances later this week.
  15. KABE currently reporting a 63F DP. Definitely a welcome change from yesterday’s swamp of misery. It’s still hot but not unbearable.
  16. Heat index is past 100 and it’s not even 11 yet. How do people in the south deal with this crap for 3 months straight?
  17. Slight risk for Thursday…of course I won’t be around, instead I’ll be in Denver baking in 100 degree heat. I also managed to pick the deadest 3 day period for storms in Denver since storm season began, so no chasing like I was looking forward to. Oh well.
  18. Big CME headed towards Earth with a possible G4 solar storm. If this were to put on an aurora show it would be tomorrow night when skies are clear. Fingers crossed!
  19. Aurora likely to be visible at lower latitudes tonight. Too bad none of us will be able to see it…
  20. Death ridge over the plains too…this May sucks for storm chasers. I’m out there right now and we’ve had to resort to chasing Alabama and Mississippi. Otherwise we’d be completely shut out.
  21. That's a really nice looking cell near West Chester. Even has somewhat of the classic supercell shape on radar. It's headed right towards me, ETA just over an hour...might go and chase it if it perks up again.
  22. Eastern PA just upgraded to a slight risk. Hopefully I can see one good storm because I’m about to leave for my yearly storm chasing vacation tomorrow and the pattern looks abysmal for at least the first half of it.
  23. Nice round of soaking rain and storms tonight, and there's more coming. Even more in the next few days. Drought guy must be ecstatic.
  24. Wouldn’t be surprised to see tomorrow upgraded to a slight risk. Looks pretty decent for some severe wx.
