E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2025 Obs/Discussion

[LVLion77]

Got a quick 1/3” at home from that batch, but my actual location during the storm near Costo Allentown must have been at least an inch. It was a torrential downpour and heavy storm.

Enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms today I guess it’s possible for a tornado watch today starting around 1-2 pm.  Looks like we have a difluent split in the flow which also probably means isolated to scattered strong activity rather than a squall line.

That is rare being in "Enhanced". 

I hit a high of 91 about 10 minutes ago with a dp of 79.  I have now been transported to the swamps of Louisiana!  Had bottomed out at 71 and it was already 85 by 9 am.  Currently 88 with dp 78 at post time.

[BBasile]

First 90F day of the year and it's torturous.  After a week of 60F days.  Thunderstorms are required after this.  

[mattinpa]

I hate the heat coming up, but it has been so cool I can’t complain much. Severe Thunderstorm Watch is up.

[Hurricane Agnes]

And away we go!

Currently a hazy, hot, and humid 90 with dp 76 and heat index 102.   Lots of big cumulus all around.

[Lady Di]

It's downpouring here

[RedSky]

Looking at radar looks like storms move in around 5pm

[KamuSnow]

Tornado warning here!

Edit, just cancelled!

[Lady Di]

Drove home in it. Tornado warning right as I was sprinting to the door.  Traffic lights and of course my power is out

Seeing that!

That call in PA is impressive. Close to 50kft tops and 62kt winds just off the surface.

Canceled now, winds were pretty strong  when the storm came in. 75F, cooled off a bit for a moment!

[Eskimo Joe]

Probably going to need another TOR on that notch approaching NW Philly.

I told my sis and she was at some pool somewhere and she and her hubby started moving quick!

[Hurricane Agnes]

Am getting hit by this fast mover!   Sky went black and street lights on.  Temp started out at 85 dp 78 and dropping quickly!

[mattinpa]

I saw the language in that tornado warning used “large and destructive” describing the tornado. Hope everyone is ok. Looks like worst action is south of me.

I am pretty sure that wording was in error. There has been no confirmed tornado.

Thanks for the clarification and I’m glad. Keep up the good work being on top of things for us. We need the NWS to be strong. 

[Hurricane Agnes]

Just had the power flicker off for a few secs and pop back on again.  Hope it holds.

[RedSky]

Lucky me I got missed south, don't need a molecule of extra rain

Second batch though an hour back

[pl0k00n111]

Pretty gusty in palmyra nj! 

[Hurricane Agnes]

Had over 4"/hr rain with this fast-moving complex coming up from the SW.  Have 0.81" in the bucket since it all started.  Temp dropped like 15 degrees and it's down to 71 with dp 71.
