Radar looks good southeast of us 

 

Mesoscale Discussion 1653
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0135 PM CDT Tue Jul 16 2024

Areas affected...Eastern Pennsylvania into Northern Maryland...New Jersey...and far Southern New York

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 161835Z - 162030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A severe thunderstorm watch may be needed later this afternoon for storms capable of 60-70 MPH wind gusts.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite trends and short-term WoFS guidance suggests that thunderstorm activity should increase over Central and Eastern Pennsylvania this afternoon, bringing a threat primarily for damaging straight-line winds. These storms are expected to progress eastward into New Jersey and far southern New York.

Surface observations show a hot, dry boundary-layer in place over the highlight area, with surface temperatures in the upper 90s F to low 100s F and dewpoints in the upper 60s F to low 70s F. These conditions have resulted in MLLCL heights of around 2-3 km and low-level lapse rates that are dry adiabatic beneath the LCL. Additionally, the better deep-layer wind shear supportive of organized convection is confined to northern and central PA, suggesting that the primary threat is for damaging winds from disorganized to weakly-organized multi-cell clusters. Weather watch issuance may be needed later this afternoon.

It did make it to 100 here today. Now down to 97. I see a few stations in north-central NJ  made it to 101 or 102. Very impressive. 

Watching those storms in PA. Doesn't look like a big widespread event, but I'm hoping those storms heading towards Hunterdon County will make it our area. Radar looks pretty good right now.

EWR probably hit 100, as soon as winds shifted from 160-220 they warmed up

Ha-ha-ha.  I put one of my french doors outside to dry after I pre-sanded and cleaned it.  I am using one week vacation.  The wind blew it down to the ground.  Miraculously, the windows didn't crack, but now there are some pretty deep gouges.  Didn't tell my wife yet.  Within less than an hour, the winds really cranked...
