MillvilleWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That's a crazy story Canderson. That's the unfortunate nature of severe weather. Group of us Millersville students going chasing right now as we speak. Hopefully we get some great pictures, but we are definitely not core punching anything. No need in our cars getting damaged.

MillvilleWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 i'm on my cell and cant see. how is the Radar looking?Quiet for now, but storms starting to ramp up in WPA a bit.

MillvilleWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Where is your focus today?Focusing along the frontal boundary in SPA. Eastern York and Lancaster counties down to the line seem to be a great spot for all the necessary parameters for thunderstorm development. My question is whether we could hatch out a few discrete cells in the warm sector along the frontal boundary. Looks like a linear development is likely, but the Hodograph off Bufkit on the 12z NAM for KLNS has a weak signature for supercell type structures with the bending back of the 0-6km.

I agree, the further S and E you can get the better. I think MDT is probably a hair too N and W for supercell development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 yeah, but watch a storm run along the Mountain. Every couple years North East Cumberland County gets smacked around Remember that crazy one in spring 2010 that took out all the trees along Front St in Harrisburg? That was a mountain runner, iirc it went on to spin up a tornado in Halifax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thought the storms to our west were going to skirt by to our NW until they reblossomed over Blair County. Verified warning hail with it (~ 1.00" diameter). Haven't seen a good hail storm in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Heads up State College folks, that lead cell has estimated 2.51" hail with it on the latest scan. Also some semblance of a rotation couplet at times but hail threat is definetely serious with that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
