Chaser25973 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 From Mt. Holly .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DOWNPOURS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE, AND ANY STRONGER STORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS. Upton makes no mention of anything severe so I would disagree that the any advisory or watch is needed. The public is already weary of all the named winter storms and hyping of blizzards that never came. You can't put out an advisory/watch/warning everytime we get a thundershower. As long as its mentioned that we are getting thunderstorms I think people get the idea. The problem is that nobody actually reads that. The average person doesn't log onto the NWS home page, put in their zip code and read the Forecast Discussion. They hear it on the radio, or turn on the news or go to the Weather Channel's homepage. A Severe Thunderstorm Advisory would be a product that would be produced on the radio, news and TWC - but it's minor enough to just let people know to be on the lookout for it. If a Watch were issued, that's a whole nuther story. An advisory would've been issued much earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser25973 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 That radar looks like something out of the 1990s. I mean, really, they should upgrade the graphics on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if people are watching the news or listening to the radio the weather is on enough that people will hear that storms are on the way. If they put an advisory every time a storm is in the area people will ignore that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm expecting Strong Thunderstorms out of this. Definitely a nice refresher from the dry weather We've had for the past 10 Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm not too excited about this anywhere east of Warren/Sussex counties but I guess we'll see. There is virtually no instability...just a small elevated unstable layer. Lapse rates are also very poor east of Morristown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm expecting Strong Thunderstorms out of this. Definitely a nice refresher from the dry weather We've had for the past 10 Days. Very impressive cell about to enter Sussex/Warren NJ. All the activity over NE NJ dissipated. Interesting that the line seems to be heading for northern half of NJ and areas north and west of the city. I thought the focus was going to be over central/south NJ.

earthlight Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The main line in NE PA is collapsing pretty fast as expected...what we'll probably see now is the usual deal where new updrafts develop on and outflow boundary that runs ahead of the original storms.
