Derecho/Bow Echo today??? It looks good out in western PA already. CAMs are unimpressive but radar looks tasty with it starting to grow upscale.

Im no Expert but it seems when the storms have that trajectory South east I guess you call it? we seems to get the very severe storms  around here, when they move East or Northeast they seem to fizzle then re fire up to the East. Is there any validation to that?

Ended up with a high of 74 yesterday after a low of 54 but the humidity started creeping in late in the day.  The low was much warmer this morning at 62 and after I was completely missed by the showers this morning, I had to counter-intuitively pull out the hose (given the forecast for the rest of the week) because the poor plants were bone dry.  It's now off to the races with a temp of 83 and dews back into the 60s this morning.

Indeed I've noticed the same thing. The lines charge West to East are typically disappointments.

I'm not sure that they're any more severe than other storms, but when the storms ride out ahead of cold fronts with the type of bulk shear and unidirectional flow that we have today, they can be longer lived and more widespread.

I've often wondered if localized cold fronts (like those in CAD events) played more of a role in this.

Went to the top of the nearby hiking spot to catch some pics. Once I got the 80mph warning and saw some lightning I booked it down, got to my car just in time. The first mile drive back the wind was incredible. I almost was blown off the road and trees/branches were literally falling all around me and flying into my car. I parked on the side of the road in a field with no trees around and thank God I did. Massive trees down across southern Berks. This is the pic I got, if I waited any longer I was gonna be in trouble. Maybe not my smartest decision but I'm alive.

I ran outside to see that when it approached here.  Thank goodness I put my patio umbrella down. :lol:

Sounds like interesting, but almost too interesting! Glad you're okay.
