earthlight Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Weak instability axis and the potential for a few storms later today with a cold front. The warm sector will push north by 21z today with temperatures likely spiking into the 70's. 850 temperatures near 12 C with a stiff southwest wind. We'll have some clouds over the next few hrs but the NAM shows the surge well later today. A 5% / See Text from SPC seems fair. ...MID ATLANTIC INTO OH VALLEY... WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM NY/PA INTO SOUTHERN IND. EARLY VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT AMPLE SUNSHINE WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC STATES. MEANWHILE... STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL HELP TO TRANSPORT 50S DEWPOINTS OVER THE TN VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THE END RESULT WILL BE AN AXIS OF MODERATE AFTERNOON INSTABILITY EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL PA/VA INTO TN/KY. MOST MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OCCURRING OVER NY/PA WILL BUILD SOUTHWESTWARD WITH TIME AND INTENSIFY LATER TODAY. STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES...SUFFICIENT CAPE...AND RATHER STRONG LOW/MID LEVEL WINDS WILL PROMOTE A FEW ORGANIZED STORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH SOON AFTER SUNSET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hail covered the ground in Fishkill, up to nickel size in Hopewell Junction, NY with that nasty cell moving near Danbury now...strong winds are aloft and likely not mixing to the ground because of the stability..However, frequent lightning and maybe some quarters in the cell now based off the diff reflectivity.

FPizz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I really wasn't expecting much today. But anyone who got that storm in Somerset/Union and into SI likely picked up a bit more. You're right. I'm by the RAC in Piscatway and got exactly .20 and got hail. New Brunswick is probably a mile away from my house. I'm surprised they only got .02.
