Albedoman Posted Tuesday at 09:34 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:34 PM The Tornado Watch should be cancelled. Continued widespread cloud cover and persistent outflow boundaries have stabilized the atmosphere, effectively eliminating any meaningful opportunity for convective redevelopment and significantly reducing the tornado threat. simply the latest bust as Red sky has stated. The only thing that will killl this nuisnace pattern is a tropical event or a cold front stalled with redevleoping shortwaves on the front. Cannot remeber the last time I saw this scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted Tuesday at 10:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:19 PM Getting some okay rain. Other than that, not much. The two shelf clouds I captured were misleading. lol. Up to 0.42" . No wind, minimal lightning. It's been a few years since I've gotten a storm with some proper lightning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted Wednesday at 01:24 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:24 AM I was out doing some yard work around 3 pm and it looked like there was wild fire smoke blocking out the sun again right before the line of thunderstorms came in from the west and northwest down here in Media Delaware County. We didn't get much here winds gusting maybe 25 mph a few elevated flashes of lighting and 0.45" of rain. We are adding to the bucket a bit more as things have stalled out to our south and rain is running east over top currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tornado began on the west side of Berkshire Valley Road, between the Morristown & Montclair-Boonton NJ Transit line and Interstate 80, uprooting several trees. The tornado continued to the northeast, causing additional damage along Berkshire Valley Road, north of I- 80. In this area, a softwood pine tree was snapped about halfway up along its trunk. Continuing northeast, the tornado crossed through a neighborhood along Little Lane. Numerous trees and wires were damaged in this area, including a large, healthy, hardwood tree being uprooted. The combination of this tree being uprooted and the snapped softwood tree led to the EF-1 rating with 100-110 MPH maximum winds for this tornado.

ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 02:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:47 PM Plenty of low temperatures in the 50's this morning with the Warwick DEOS our usual chilly spot at 51.8 degrees. One of the best stretches of weather we have seen in quite a while is underway. Below normal temperatures ranging from the upper 70's to low 80's with lows in the 50's to near 60 degrees through the weekend and into the start of next week. Next chances of any showers looks to be Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Friday at 02:04 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:04 PM Another chilly start for much of the area again today with the Warwick DEOS as low as 48.6 degrees this AM. A great weather weekend on the way with highs from the upper 70's to low 80's and lows in the 50's to low 60's. Rain chances look to increase both Monday and Tuesday - there could be some heavy rain chances for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Comments on Today’s Mt. Holly Forecast Discussion Today’s Mt. Holly forecast discussion once again seems to reflect the same “haves and have-nots” problem we have repeatedly seen with beneficial rainfall across the region. While thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall may occur somewhere within the forecast area, that does not necessarily translate into meaningful rainfall for the Lehigh Valley, particularly the drought-affected areas north of South Mountain. The discussion appears overly optimistic about the prospects for beneficial rainfall reaching these areas. One of my primary concerns is the influence of thunderstorm outflow boundaries. Once convection develops elsewhere, particularly south or west of the Lehigh Valley, those outflow boundaries can significantly alter the local environment and disrupt subsequent storm development. Combined with the terrain and topographic influences surrounding the Lehigh Valley, this can once again leave portions of the area with very little rainfall while locations elsewhere receive excessive amounts. For the Lehigh Valley, I would consider rainfall exceeding 0.50 inch far from certain. In many locations, receiving even that amount may be fortunate unless the convective pattern develops in a very specific manner. There appear to be two realistic mechanisms that could produce widespread, beneficial rainfall for the Lehigh Valley: Training thunderstorms develop over the same locations. This could produce substantial rainfall, but the placement of training convection is extremely difficult to predict and may just as easily occur outside the drought-affected areas. The frontal boundary slows or stalls in a favorable position. That could provide a longer period for repeated convection and more widespread rainfall. However, based on the persistence of the recent pattern, I consider that an even less likely outcome for the Lehigh Valley. Without one of these mechanisms occurring, scattered thunderstorms may once again produce impressive rainfall totals in isolated areas while leaving much of the Lehigh Valley with inadequate rainfall. That distinction is important. A regional flash-flood threat is not the same thing as regional drought relief. A few locations receiving 2–3 inches from thunderstorms does little for drought conditions if large portions of the Lehigh Valley receive a few tenths of an inch or nothing at all. I believe Mt. Holly should place greater emphasis in its forecast discussions on the continuing drought and rainfall deficits north of South Mountain. Flooding potential certainly needs to be communicated where warranted, but it should not dominate the discussion to the point that the public is left with the impression that widespread beneficial rainfall is expected. Until the existing pattern actually breaks, the forecast discussion should distinguish much more clearly between localized heavy rainfall potential and widespread, sustained drought-relieving rainfall. For the Lehigh Valley, those are two very different outcomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
