Supercell, Intense Downburst and Hail in New Jersey. May 28, 2019.

Published 2019-06-01
On May 28, 2019, I intercepted a Tornado warned Supercell near Elizabeth New Jersey. I filmed quarter sized hail and a brief period of straight line winds likely over 60 mph within the storm core.
On this day, a warm front was inching northward through northern Pennsylvania. South of this front, significant amounts of heat and instability built through the day. Storms developed along the boundary by 3pm and moved eastward. With mid level winds of over 60kts, and southerly winds at the surface, a significant amount of speed and directional shear was present. Several of these storms would develop rotating updrafts. Several of these Supercells would go on to produce hail, high winds, and even a few brief tornadoes. The northern most Supercell would continue to move eastward into northern New Jersey, where I filmed its passage around 10 pm that night.

    I filmed a severe thunderstorm what later turned out to be a supercell back on 8/13/23. Powerful storm with tons of heavy lighting and thunder but no hail although a tornado warning was issued in the path of that storm.

  • I was staying in a rental house in pigeon forge when a severe storm hit. The cloud was dark as night. The glass door shattered because a few hailstones hit the glass
