Good Evening All! My apologies for being absent from the page for quite awhile and “Thank you” to all who have reached out! I’m doing just fine. I accepted an exciting new role in my career earlier this year that has kept me from storm chasing a bit but I’m still around and doing well! This was the view from the air this evening of tonight’s Sunset in Central Bucks County PA 🔥

⚡️Early Morning Storms in Hatfield PA⚡️

Took the drone up this morning to capture a layered shelf cloud as it was rolling through Hatfield Pennsylvania this morning. The structure only held together for a short period of time, but was stunning nonetheless.

❄️Intense Snow Squalls this Afternoon❄️

We had scattered snow squalls throughout the area this afternoon, with brief periods of heavy snow, and high winds. This was an aerial shot of a powerful snow squall that moved through Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania this afternoon with characteristics of the summertime thunderstorm. Capture any snow squalls today?

⚠️ Rough Morning Commute in the Area⚠️

Heavy snow was falling across the area this morning causing traffic issues and reduced visibilities. The weather should start to clear out now from West to east. Video below was in Warminster PA along Street Road.

⚠️Dangerous Snow Squalls Expected Today⚠️

DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALLS TO IMPACT THE REGION LATE THIS MORNINGINTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS... One or more bands of snow squalls will be moving east at 50 to 55 mph along the leading edge of an arctic airmass, with the potential to impact portions of eastern Pennsylvania and adjacent areas of New Jersey and northern Delaware. Near whiteout conditions and a quick one half inch of snow in just 10 to 15 minutes will lead to dangerous travel conditions as a result of the very poor visibility and snow or ice covered roads. Winds will gust up to 50 mph in the squalls. If possible, delay any travel until the mid to late afternoon hours. If you are traveling, your recognition of these squalls and the actions you take to get off the road or help to gradually slow traffic could prevent a high speed, multi-vehicle accident and save your life and the lives of others. If you see terrain features and objects off in the distance being obscured by heavy snow within the dangerous snow squalls, take quick action to pull off the road to a safe location, such as a parking lot or driveway to wait out the squall. If you are on an interstate, it's best to get off the road at the nearest exit as soon as you notice the squall to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. If there isn't an opportunity to safely exit the interstate, slow down gradually, well before entering the squall and turn on your flashing hazard lights.
