I think you're right. It will be interesting to see if the pressure begins to drop.
I definitely saw the eye forming on the radar a little while ago.
The wind speeds might not be there yet though. The 5:00 update should be interesting. Have to rely on recon before you can call it a cane.
Yes, and eye looks tacking a due north path?
My parents are in Ventnor and aren't coming back to Philly until Mon. They live 1/4 block off of the beach but are behind a motel so I hope that blocks off some of the wind.
The easterly component should be coming to an end soon. The trough axis to the west is mostly north/south now.
The "eye" we are seeing is probably not evident at the surface yet (as the beam is shooting into the midlevels of the system), but it's the beginning of something.
Actually, it looks to me like it's moving NE.
Not wrong at all.......she's got this thing about people who oppose her.......and I have a thing about people who lie to me (especially politicians)
Our renters are there till monday.I feel bad for everyone.Did you see the tornado from that storm the other night?
I saw it. Seems like we're getting more and more tornados in this area. I'm in a heavily populated area and if one ever hit Philly where I am I can't imagine the destruction it would do.
It seems like the circulation near the center also seems to be elongating a bit W to E.
Philly's part of a mini-tornado alley that stretches from York eastward. I've been around more tornados living up here for 18 years than I did living in Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma. However, most of the tornadoes here are dinkers - a F3 is pretty rare. Usually they are no worse than an F1.
I know where you are.I use to live in Philly.I saw a twister coming down the driveway at our thrift store in Bensalem.We stood at the door with our mouths open because it formed that fast and was small but coming towards us.It turned and hit a couple of places on Street Rd.Never saw anything like it.
I've heard of at least another south of there in the DC area (particularly since you had two tornadoes go through or near La Plata, MD). Do you have a source for that?
I saw a national tornado frequency map a few years back and you could see that there were was an uptick east of the Appalacians in the mid-Atlantic. I'll see if I can find it again.
Hope you don't get saturated. You are not too far from the coast.
Winds were 3mph, gusting to 7.
Myrtle Beach (near projected landfall): Winds of 17mph, gusts to 28.
Looks like a lot of the stronger winds are out from the center in that large band, ahead and to the right of the center.
Is it a personal weather station? There are plenty of those in the wunderground network that aren't very accurate.
Charleston had 20mph sustained 30 min ago.
