Discussion
Multiple tornadoes ripped through Bucks County late yesterday and Mercer County in New Jersey upon the arrival of a powerful cold front and that system is now clearing the coastline. Damage on the ground in Bucks County is quite apparent early this morning (e.g., Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem Township) and will be assessed further by the National Weather Service to determine the strength and longevity of yesterday’s tornadic activity. High pressure builds into the region as we end the work week with a much more comfortable air mass in place including the lowering of humidity and the weekend will actually start off with temperatures in the 50’s in most places – well below the norm for the last day of July. Another cold front could produce more showers and storms here late in the weekend and its early week passage will usher in more comfortable air for the bulk of next week – the first full week of August.
