Similar here with temp 83 and dp 77.  Lightening detector is picking up the stuff north of here.

Yup and I am hearing some thunder now from the storms to the north.

You can find the warm front pretty clearly on the latest 18z SBCAPE mesoanalysis. Surface obs are also evident... middle 80s in York, southern Lanco, Philly right now, but low to middle 70s still across the rest of SE PA. I do think this warm front will continue to lift northward but I don't have much confidence in how much in the next 3-4 hours. Some of that messy cloud debris near Harrisburg appears to be thinning out as it slides eastward, and we're getting more sunshine across the Lehigh Valley... All of that to say I think the Trenton/KOP/Philly area will maximize instability and low-level shear just south of the warm front. We shall see...

Great write up Newman, was hoping to hear your thoughts :) I’m really liking my backyard we are in a great spot for instability and shear.

I have my eye on the stuff north of State College. If the Lehigh Valley is going to see any severe weather, it’ll be from that. If it can latch onto the warm front it might get pretty gnarly.

That activity will more likely than not become outflow dominant by the time it reaches the Lehigh Valley. Maybe some embedded spinners, but more likely a damaging straight line wind threat

Sun starting to poke out here, 0.75” so far.

76F/DP 74F

Just saw that the temp. Was up to 91 at PHL with a dewpoint of 77. Very, very juicy out there! Sun coming out here in Northwest Philadelphia.

Some outflow moved through here (or warm front slipped a bit southward) with a wind shift out of the north-northwest. Temperature down to 80F after a high of 87F. Dew point down to 74F (peaked at 80F earlier).
