We have this debate every couple of years. I suspect Mike was being a bit sarcastic, but I let him speak to that. My hunch is, if we combined forums, the Philly posters would eventually disappear. This is a backyard sport. Personally, I have little interest what the weather is doing in NYC. I'm mainly interested in obs from our local PA, south Jersey and northern DE posters. It gives me an idea of what's on the way, be it severe weather, the changeover line or what not. I'd prefer to not have to waddle through hundreds of posts about the Mets pitching staff to find out how quickly the changeover line is progressing through the region. -My respectfully submitted opinion (but I'm just another nobody weenie).

Why in 2026 are local TV mets still doing the weather tease? “Here’s tomorrow’s forecast and I’ll be back later on to let you know how the weekend is shaping up.” Um, everyone can simply look at their phone to see how the weekend is shaping up.

Nothing ahead but 9 months of patience.

About .40” in the bucket this morning. Trash cans survived the onslaught of overnight showers. 49F

I swear I’m hearing a lawn mower right now

Trash night! Has anyone ever conducted a study to see if putting out the garbage cause severe weather? (The same way trailer parks attract tornados?)

Just 186 short days until autumn. Only 3 more months until we start losing daylight again. NFL training camps will be open before we know it.

Buckle up!!

Some thoughts from our old friend Ray... ‘Unusually early’ tornado watch in effect for Philadelphia region | PhillyVoice

Yes, severe thunderstorm warnings were issued as the front approached and we were also under a wind advisory until 2am. But again, I think because local news made such a big deal about it (and understandably so, cause the threat was real), most people let their guard down around sunset because not much had happened by then. Of course, us weenies knew until the front came through later last night, we weren't off the hook.

Power is flickering but on for now. Been a while since a front has moved through with this ferocity.

My trash pick up was today, so cans went to the curb last night. They’re back by the garage now, so dodged that bullet. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s straight-line wind damage as the front comes through later tonight.

If they interrupt General Hospital for the stupid weather, I'm gonna throw a hissy fit like none other!!

From Mike's post above... 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. But like Paul, I'll be happy with a nothing burger today.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years! It would be a cash cow. Imagine all the adults running out of the house like little kids chasing the truck down the street.
