A strong cold front is poised to advance across the Northeast on Friday accompanied by falling temperatures and gusty winds with a bit of rain. Elevations above 2000ft above I-80 may even see a bit of snow mix in. Cooler temperatures are in store for the weekend with below normal temperatures. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Quoting TheRasberryPatch: over yours and my house Blizz .03in of rain here. Yesterday's storms demonstrated once again how the Lower Susquehanna Valley sees the most impressive storm structure in severe weather outbreaks than anywhere else in the northeast. The combination of the flat farmland, influx of moisture from the Chesapeake and Atlantic, downsloping east of the Alleghany Plain, and natural geographic spin creates these supercell structures every year where other areas do not see the storm structure.

I got a storm around 3:45 that brought 1.25 inch diameter hail, lots of rain and wind, and I don't really remember there being much lightning. Hail is not very common here and I can only remember seeing hail once. See Photos: Link Winds peeled away half of a metal roof on a home on near Martinsburg.

While Blizz's blog has been quiet today, I have been lurking in Dr. Masters blog. From what I'm reading , it should be a very active tropical season. Dr. Masters has alluded to that himself, not just the bloggers. I guess we'll see. Member Since: January 31, 2009 Posts: 0 Comments: 5069

hahaha....too funny Blizz. will it have the Fall outlook? hahaha bax - nice pictures of the hail...I don't ever recall getting hail that size ever in my life no matter where I lived. originalLT - does it matter what so called experts predict when it comes to the Atlantic tropical season?

Hi TRP, yeah I think it does somewhat. It can give one a "heads-up" on what may happen. For example, my wife and her sister inherited a small 2 bedroom condo in Delrey Beach Fl., and with this out-look we are increasing our insurance coverage on the place. It will cost alittle more but I feel its worth it. I feel we're using science in a practical way. Member Since: January 31, 2009 Posts: 0 Comments: 5069
