That was a pretty good line of storms for this time in the day and year. I don’t think it approached severe criteria in my back yard but still we had a nice very heavy wind driven rain. It got as dark as it would be about 8:30 pm as the storms moved in. Just before the rain started I noticed low level clouds racing across the sky from west to east. The line heald together as it crossed the river better than any I remember of this season too. We even had lots of lightning.

Today is going to be a good day. 7:40 in the morning and there appears to be some pretty strong thunderstorms moving towards us. Not bad for September. The other nice thing about these storms is it seems like a pretty solid area of storms so I don’t expect to be just missed by them like my area was all summer.
Some counties west of here have already had severe thunderstorm warnings due to the storms. Radar was saying they were capable of producing quarter sized hail.

An active severe season continues. SPC has us in centeral PA, well actually the south eastern two thirds of PA, in a moderate risk for severe thunderstorms. Maybe we’ll actually get something in my back yard this time. It seems this year that storms are going severe just after they pass over here and here we’re not getting much more than a little rain and some distant thunder.
It really doesn’t have that feel of a day with strong storms. It’s cool out and not humid at all. I guess things are expected to change enough and other factors will be involved.
Hoping for a fun day!

Wow.. What an awesome line of storms that was that went through on Wednesday. There were lots of reports of damage from the winds. What was even more surprising was the fact that a second strong line of storms went through a few hours later. There were even some reports of tornadoes.
We didn’t get a whole lot here even though SPC had us in a moderate risk area for severe weather. It was just awesome to watch the sqall lines race across Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC.
Now on to less fun things. It looks like we’re in for a heat wave. Not fun. I never look forward to temperatures in the mid 90s and especially not after the relatively cool spring we’ve had. I have the feeling that it’s going to be a shock.

Last weekends storm didn’t give us as much rain as promised but it did rain some. Saturday afternoon the low seemed to start to intensify more rapidly just as it crossed central Pa. We’d gone to eat at Red Robin’s in Hershey and when we came out it was sunny and clear except for a line of clouds to the south west. By the time we got home the clouds were moving in.
One the storms moved in we got some insane wind gusts but the cool thing was to hear the sounds. It was almost like hearing stronger winds above. We got very heavy rain for a few minutes and wind blown hail.
Lots of tree damage in the county and power outages too. None in my neighborhood but we went to Leola and saw roofing materials on the ground and saw ppl trucks near Chickies Rock park Sunday evening. Two of them working across the street from each other..
After the storms passed here they really seemed to form a solid bow echo. Seemed like it weakened on radar by the time it reached Bucks county but judging by the stats on my brother’s tree service website they got hit pretty hard. My mom said it wasn’t bad at her house but she said there was a lot going on in the area judging by the scanner.
It was definitely a time when I wish I had my Davis vantage Pro’s wind sensor set up properly. I recorded a 29.12 low pressure here.
