NY NJ PA Weather Forecasts

Local Storm Reports From Monday August 11th, 2008

The upper low that rotated through the forecast area produced some pretty impressive isolated severe thunderstorms yesterday.  The cold air aloft significantly destabilized the atmosphere while the strong disturbances rotating around the upper low produced strong wind shear.  As a result, the thunderstorms were capable of producing large hail, wind gusts over 55 mph, very heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and even a few water spouts!  The following are official storm reports from the National Weather Service:
