SouthernNJ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks like a developing severe storm near Newtown Grant. It appears this storm did turn severe, and now a new storm might be ready to run into Trenton in the next 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just got clipped here. Sunny with distant thunder. Yardley and Ewing look like they're getting a nice hit though. I see one 47.5-kt pixel over Ewing right now, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 In addition to the possibility of damaging winds, there is also some weak rotation just west of Trenton. The storm is barely moving and its got to be a nightmare for people out and about in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My wife called me about 25 minutes ago and said that storm was very nasty at my house in Spring Mount. Hail/wind/lightning/heavy rain...and a brief power outage. And now, apparantly, my living room TV is fried. OUCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I had 0.5-0.88" diameter hail in Mercer County, wind gusts to 50 mph, frequent cloud to ground lightning and rotation (very weak). Awesome .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone talking how loud thunder and lightning was.....and i missed it lol Great storm. At first the broad / weak rotation I wrote off as my mind playing tricks on me given the strong updrafts overhead / scud and turbulence. However, the rotation became a bit stronger with time and ultimately tightened as best it could and that about sold me. After the circulation passed, a NJ-styled hail core ripped into the area.

I've been lucky lately. 8/2/2009 I received a tornado warning and caught a rain-wrapped wall cloud. 6/22/2011 I received a tornado warning and saw a very nice wall cloud in Mansfield in NW NJ. Then a few days later, I got a "weak rotation" SVR in Mercer and saw a ragged wall cloud. Today I didn't see a wall cloud but it was an awesome sky. Best of the year... beats the heck out of your run-of-the-mill shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Would you, by any chance, have the radar image saved of the rotation? I am pretty sure I saw it. I apologize in advance, but I do not have GR-Level products in which to save radar images. All of my obs here and in the other subforums are strictly based on reading the radar at the NWS website of the local office impacted by a given storm. In other words, I go pretty much by feeling if I believe the radar is telling me something, and without meso detectors and hail markers etc. I am glad that you could verify what I thought I saw on radar, but am not sure how to access the archives of the website.

It's okay man; don't worry about it. I saw that the radar was detecting a mesocyclone and I thought I saw a weak hail finger (but I was using my phone so it's possible I'm way off).

Porsche Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Had a good storm this afternoon near Lancaster (East Earl to be specific by Shady Maple) Lightening struck the pole and as you can see it split the pole and flew the wood across the road into the parking lot.

stormspotterlive Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks like a warm front like feature spreading northeast out of the dc area would probably effect our area after midnight but with plenty of elevated instability. As of now though I would suspect storm remain below severe limits and stay elevated with heavy rainfall and lightning being the main threat. Also looks like this system is really cranking up the moisture along the primary front you got moisture from the deep south all the way into NY along the front with a very nice band of rain and storms. If the HRRR is right that could be the same band we see tomorrow with it having it in central pa tomorrow as it is a very slow mover. Would think there is going to be an enhanced flash flood threat with that as well as we have PW values increasing along and ahead of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 any reports of funnel cloud near pocono raceway?

I have a cool photo coming that might just be that....my wife is at the cabin and took the photo....should have a high res file in a few. Looks like scud clouds where nearly total saturation takes place around upward moving air. I have seen this at times, especially across the higher terrain.
