IsentropicLift Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 No visible lightning yet but I can here distant rumbles. Very windy currently, has that erie feeling outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think the line will hold up as being strong, given the elevated instability and low-level shear, but I don't see much in the way of severe criteria with this, outside of more synoptic-scale LLJ winds being mixed down near the coast. Yup, agreed...the thunderstorm-produced severe weather threat should be very low and I would expect the storms over Western NJ to weaken. One thing that could be interesting is as the LLJ strengthens maybe some additional convection will move on a more northeast heading from the Delmarva. It seems like that has begun a bit just west of Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will - Rutgers Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just saw the first flash of lightning off to my west, eagerly hoping for a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like that has begun a bit just west of Philly. It looks like the line is already weakening some on latest radar scans. I don't see a lot of >50dbz echoes which we usually get with the really strong squalls ahead of cold fronts. This looks like no big deal, not sure watches/warnings are warranted. Timing is poor and most areas around here only got to around 70F since it was so cloudy ahead of the front. If we had cleared out and gotten the squall line in here a few hours earlier, it may have been a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just some lightning in the distance and a brief period of heavy rain/wind. Some of the street lights on Route 1 in Edison went out as we were driving which you wouldn't expect for such an ordinary storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Kind of a dud here. Barely any rain and no thunder. Yeah the rainfall amounts really underperformed once east of PA. Generally under .25" and just over a tenth at the airports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrick Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 i don't have my rain gauge up yet.... had to be around an inch. i think sussex airport measured .82. I honestly couldn't guess. rainfall in thunderstorms is harder to estimate than snowfall. Had a few ctg strikes here but it was mostly a wind/rain. What was your total rainfall amount?
