Near Stationary Storms litter radar with outflow boundaries

The radar tells the story with outflow boundaries going every which direction in a very tropical but nearly stationary atmosphere ...

That's probably what is going to happen with some storms that develop here over the next couple of days........I don't know though. Stay dry if you get under one of those storms! :o

The southeastern United States thunderstorm activity typically moves much slower than the activity in the northern latitudes.

The activity in Pennsylvania is closer to the frontal system, thus the severe thunderstorms just to the east of Lancaster (in the last several minutes) are moving southeast at 35 to 40 miles per hour.

I was watching those storms very carefully, Tom... skies were very dark to the South, and I heard some nice rumbles of thunder for about 30 minutes. Had a period of light rain, too... just wish I could've got in on the "good stuff." ;)

Colin, I thought of you when I saw the cluster of thunderstorms moving toward Philadelphia on the radar.

My point in my above post was referring to the speed of the storms compared to the activity in the southeastern states.
