Treckasec Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's been fairly quiet in the calm weather as of recent! Tomorrow may bring some action. AS THE STRONG SHORT WAVE ARRIVES IN THE AFTERNOON, AN AREA OF ENHANCED MID LEVEL FLOW WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA. THIS COMBINED WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY /DESPITE SOME CLOUD COVER/ SHOULD RESULT IN AT LEAST SCATTERED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AFTERNOON. REWINDING A BIT, THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS OR A THUNDERSTORM IN THE EARLY MORNING ESPECIALLY NEAR AND NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA AS A LEAD IMPULSE MOVES THROUGH COMBINED WITH AN UPTICK IN INSTABILITY. BACK TO THE AFTERNOON, THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A DEEP UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILE WHICH WOULD PROMOTE LINE SEGMENTS AND CLUSTERS. GIVEN THE FORECAST FLOW, LOCALLY STRONG WINDS COULD OCCUR ESPECIALLY WITH MORE ORGANIZED LINE SEGMENTS. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN BE REALIZED, SOME HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVING PARAMETER FOR THE STRENGTH OF THE CONVECTION. GIVEN THE FLOW AND FORCING DURING THE AFTERNOON, WE ADDED IN A GUSTY WIND MENTION TO THE FORECAST. THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR ABOUT THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL BE WARMER, AND THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A LOW-LEVEL INVERTED-V SIGNATURE DEVELOPING. THE PW VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 1.0-1.5 INCH RANGE, THEREFORE LOCAL DOWNPOURS WILL ACCOMPANY THE CONVECTION. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME..DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF A COLDFRONT ON TUESDAY. SOME OF THESE STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON ANDEVENING HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS ANDHAIL..SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SPC has only MRGL for now, but I think it'll be upgraded to SLGT tomorrow. CAPE values on models are around 1,000 and SFC-6km shear is about 30-40kts.

RedSky Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 NAM indicates a line of showers this afternoon although a weak one, GFS thinks things are about wrapped up. But then again GFS is wrong on the current weather map as a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 severe thunderstorm watch issued for the entire area. should see some decent storms this afternoon, pretty solid dynamics overhead and decent instability for April. Will definitely be some wind/hail reports this evening though it does not look to be widespread imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The first line of showers earlier today fizzled before getting here. This second batch was rolling mostly to my north although a couple large drops of rain fell and there were some gusty winds. Looks like it's headed to Jersey.

Treckasec Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Whoever's in the warned cell seems to be getting a real big storm. Very dark skies, but I think the storm will just nick me or pass slightly to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Nice but brief little T-storm here in NW Chester County put down 0.18" - top wind gust was 24mph. Rain so far this month 2.25" which is 1.34" below normal for April. YTD we stand at 14.67" which is 0.45" below normal YTD. Today was our first 80+ day in NW Chesco since September 9th when we hit 87.7....now we need to work on our 1st 90+ day here in NW Chesco - it has been almost 3 years since we last hit 90 - last time being July18, 2013. Predicting we will have several 90+ days here this year with what I think will be a mighty dry summer. I was telling the folks at the township voting center today - Go Trump!!

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 We finally had light shower and then another light one about 45 minutes ago, but now we're getting a thundershower with much heavier rain. Am thinking it was good that the first couple light rounds of rain happened because it got the dry soil moistened a bit so we wouldn't waste this current gully washer due to excessive runoff.
