What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 839

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention: The National Weather Service has now officially stated that a tornado did indeed hit the oceanfront in Virginia Beach a couple of days ago.

Outside the window it looks pretty calm. Not too hot today.

Beautiful day, today. Warm, but low humidity. Unfortunately, I spent most of it in the car, driving.

Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter and more humid.

"Polar Vortex" inspired storms due on Tuesday and Wednesday. Yippee.

Hey, you Tapatalkers-because-its-thundering ..... is a wireless laptop safe from lightning? I gather you are using your phone. Just wondering (because it's lightning out there now!)

WT Sharpe · 07-13-2014, 06:36 AM

I use my iPad indoors during storms because it's much less likely to be damaged by power surges.

HOT - the thermometer on the deck registered 102 F this afternoon - we're all waiting to see if the promised Polar Vortex incursion reaches us at all ....

cromag · 07-13-2014, 11:46 PM

Hot and hazy all day, capped off by a line of severe, but fast moving, thunderstorms.

Oh joy - we're to endure strong/severe storms Tuesday .... followed by marginally cooler temps (high 80's F) ...

A tornado in the southern suburbs killed two people today. That doesn't happen much around here. Sad.

cromag · 07-14-2014, 04:32 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, meeera. It does put my weather gripes in perspective.

It's hot today, but not quite as hot as yesterday. The first of the "polar vortex" inspired lines of thunderstorms should arrive tonight, but despite their origin, they're expected to be dumping warm water.

poohbear_nc · 07-14-2014, 07:53 PM

HOT - It's 90 F with equal humidity levels at 7:30 pm - had to cut my walk short tonight.

Our polar vortex storms roll in tomorrow.

cromag · 07-14-2014, 11:42 PM

Possible tornado touchdown just south of us (we don't get many of those in NJ, but sometimes they come up the Delaware river valley). For us, though, the storms were less windy than last night. But the near continuous lightning was pretty impressive.

We should have another go-round tomorrow.

poohbear_nc · 07-15-2014, 08:37 AM

Severe storms last night (no tornadoes .... yet) - LOTS of lightning & torrential rain ... this morning was like stepping into a sauna - my glasses fogged up walking to the car .... more storms roll in this afternoon - predicted to be severe with downbursts/straight line winds, lightning, and local flooding - just in time for evening drive home ....

astrangerhere · 07-15-2014, 10:56 AM

We hit 100 down here yesterday too. It is currently 85 and we are waiting on storms. You could swim in the humidity outside right now.

WT Sharpe · 07-15-2014, 11:04 AM

We're awaiting "possibly severe" thunderstorms this afternoon. Scratch that. I'm expecting MAJOR thunderstorms this afternoon. I believe that so-called ”titanium plate” the surgeon placed in my skull in May was in reality a barometer. My head is hurting like crazy, and I haven't been able to get any sleep since yesterday.

poohbear_nc · 07-15-2014, 02:53 PM

Tom - injured sinuses often become barometers ....

First storm just hit ... more on the radar ...
