June 27 Severe Weather...

Posted by: Zachary Labe, 12:42 GMT le 27 juin 2008

"Thoughts on Severe Weather Outbreak of June 27"
Well we have another day of severe weather on our hands. For yesterday it was very quiet most of the day. It started off very cloud with some drizzle around especially in southern sections. In fact Johnstown and Bradford had low cloud ceilings around 1000ft until around noon. After noon the sun broke out fully in most areas and temperatures soared into the upper 80s with dewpoints in the mid 60s in most locations. Atmospheric soundings were not too impressive for most of the day with some slight CIN over southeastern sections and modest CAPE in most areas. PWATS though were near an impressive 2inches so there was a definite high moisture content aloft. Later in the day a shortwave enhanced thunderstorms over Ohio. They quickly became severe. Due to low winds aloft they moved at a slow pace and a training thunderstorm event occured with some flooding in Ohio. The thunderstorms also became severe with many reports of wind damage. The thunderstorms then moved into western Pennsylvania as instibility had become much higher with CAPE around 3000 j/kg in western Pennsylvania. By evening the thunderstorms formed a small line in the form of a weak bow echo causing some wind damage in many locations. Johnstown, Pennsylvania recorded a 70mph wind gust. Pittsburgh reported lots of damage in the metro area and Erie reported nickel sized hail near the metro along with some trees down. The line continued to move across central Pennsylvania before weakening near Harrisburg. I received a light thunderstorm with .02inches of rain. Overall yesterday my forecast was pretty spot on with a slight risk. I guess I could have not put a slight risk for southeastern Pennsylvania, but o well you cannot be perfect. Here is my verification map...

"Current Weather Setup"
Pretty simple severe weather setup today. This morning there are some left over sprinkles from last nights thunderstorm complexes which was focused along an outflow boundary. Clouds are scattered about the region thicker in some spots than others. But from what I can tell when looking at the current satellite is that the clouds are thinning out and moving out of the state. Currently near Pittsburgh a MCV is moving through relatively slowly. This feature will continue to move east throughout the day. As hot and humid air develops east of the Appalachians, the MCV will provide a trigger for thunderstorms to develop. Steep lapse rates, low LI index, and high CAPE values near 3000 j/kg will lead to the development of severe thunderstorms. Winds aloft are relatively light though which will make an organized widespread wind damage outbreak hard to come by. But with weak winds aloft and PWATs near 2inches heavy rain and flash flooding may be a threat. Currently dewpoints statewide are around the mid 60s with temperatures already nearing 80degrees in the south. Todays event will be very similiar to what has been happening in northwest Ohio the last couple of days. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day as the latest soundings come in around 12z.

"Model Analysis"
The models are in pretty similar agreement to today's forecast. Below is the NAM and SREF models with forecast CAPE, SWEAT, and Helicity. The NMM model seemed to have an initiation problem so I could not post it below. CAPE values look like they will get up to 3000 j/kg in southeastern Pennsylvania. The LI index should remain low and very supportive of the development of strong to severe convection. Shear values are pretty low today with little to no helicity so tornadoes should not be too much of a threat today. The largest threats today are for heavy rain and strong winds. Also the atmosphere is containing some high energy levels today so lightning could be quite intense with some of the storms that form. One inhibiting factor today could be these morning clouds that are around. If they do not dissapate soon then we could have some problems for convection trying to form. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day.

"My Forecast for Severe Weather"
Below is my severe weather map for today and I am looking at a slight risk over eastern Pennsylvania and a isolated chance of western Pennsylvania. The MCV will spark thunderstorms beginning in westcentral Pennsylvania. As they move east they will tap into the warm, moist air in eastern Pennsylvania and become severe most likely. Still a chance exists across western Pennsylvania for an orographic pulse thunderstorm to develop and become severe. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma is in similiar correspondance with their forecast to mine. For Saturday another severe weather map will be issued around early Saturday morning. Also as usuall a verification map on today's severe weather will be issued tomorrow.

"Conclusions on Severe Weather Outbreak"
For Saturday an approaching front will be headed in the northeast's direction. Saturday high temperatures will soar to 90degrees in southern Pennsylvania. Elsewhere temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s. Dewpoints across the state should be in the upper 60s to low 70s. It is too far out too see if clouds will inhibit severe thunderstorms, but at this point I would say ample sunshine should be available. The strong cold front is ahead of another upper level trough that will drop temperatures back to seasonal values along with drier air. CAPE values for Saturday are near 3500 j/kg according to the NAM. The GFS is still high though around 3000 j/kg. Looking at any CAP to the environment and there is no CAP that should preclude any convective development. Also the SREF model shows 2000 j/kg over southern Pennsylvania for Saturday. Timing with the front is uncertain at this point, but the closer the front the higher the shear and helicity values are. The uncertainty of the fronts timing kept severe weather chances in for Saturday and Sunday. Also some models show slowing of the front around central Pennsylvania. Sunday looks to be the main show here in central and eastern Pennsylvania, dynamics will be similar to what western Pennsylvania delt with Saturday. Though I am worried about debris cloud from the day before inhibiting severe thunderstorm development. That factor definitely needs to be monitored. All in all it looks like a pretty hefty widespread severe weather outbreak will be headed towards Pennsylvania. More updates will be coming with a new blog each day for Saturday and Sunday highlighting each day's severe weather threat. Have a wonderful Friday!!!

TheRasberryPatch- Should be a pretty nice week next week. A trough moves in with cool and dry weather. A warming trend will take place by the end of the week and climatologically that favors afternoon thunderstorms. Member Since: 14 décembre 2007 Posts: 253 Comments: 14300

thanks blizz. are you done with the radishes? i can only take them for a couple of weeks and then get tired of them. in case you didn't know i use them mostly to aerate the soil. the plants love them as a great companion. my lettuce is really taken off, especially the buttercrunch. we need more hot weather for the tomatoes to turn and for my pool of course.

Blizz- We did have an overnight shower, enough to make the roads wet, but not enough to register in my rain gauge.

Hello Bliz. The worst of yesterday's storm went to the south and north of me again. The south has a fairly impressive thunderstorm with a moderate amount of cloud to ground strikes, but most were cloud to cloud. The north got the strong winds. I ended with a total of .69" for the day which brings me up to 4.3" mtd with more in sight. It's starting to feel rather tropical around here.

Currently this is the MCV... It is some scattered showers and developing thunderstorms over a pretty stable terrain. But as this complex moves east it will move into unstable territory and spark severe thunderstorms. Member Since: 14 décembre 2007 Posts: 253 Comments: 14300

1.82inches of rain here today with a very heavy thunderstorm. Hardly any thunder/lightning, but there was some gusty winds around 30mph. Rain came down at a max rain rate of 8.86inches for a short time. It was like a big tropical downburst. I should have a quick update this evening sometime before 9pm.

9pm update... Well yet again my forecast for a slight risk of severe weather went pretty successful as there were some spotty reports of severe weather along with a severe thunderstorm watch and several severe thunderstorm warnings. I will recap the event with my new blog tomorrow morning. For Saturday several waves of thunderstorms could move through as a cold front approaches. The highest threat of severe weather is over western Pennsylvania, but the entire state has the chance to see something strong to severe. For Sunday severe weather chances shift into central and eastern Pennsylvania. Latest guidance shows the severe weather not quite as significant as originally portrayed. But none the less severe weather will be around. This is just another typical strong cold frontal passage with severe weather, all very typical in the summmer. Wind damage and heavy rain are the main threats. I will issue a new blog tomorrow morning with all of the typical updates. Have a great evening! Also watch out for dense fog tonight and tomorrow morning in areas that received heavy rain. Member Since: 14 décembre 2007 Posts: 253 Comments: 14300

thanks blizz. if you get the chance. can you modify your prediction for warmer than normal for July. i kinda like it hot in July. don't ask me why. i guess i enjoy hot sunny weather around the pool or beach. thanks for considering my request. : )) Member Since: 26 janvier 2007 Posts: 72 Comments: 5637
