I am getting a booming thunderstorm moving over my location now. The TWC lightning strike map is showing this activity over southern NJ and SE PA and it's moving towards the north.

One extreme to the other with the weather lately. We're going from gorgeous to utterly atrocious again.

[satellite_eyes]

downpours with thunder.

[lab94]

Just got back from sparta and its like summer down pours. Water is already filling up the smaller streams

[snowshoe]

Moderate to heavy rain for the last few hours. Had a thunderstorm with a downpour just before 5pm.

[icehater]

Heavy rain and very close to ground lightning strike (only 1) with bomb like thunder just now. No warning on the lightning and good thing for me I got back in the house as that strike happened just minutes after putting out the garbage.

[njblizzard]

just had lightning and thunder...

That happened to me at about 3:30 this afternoon. Real quick hitting system.

Here's a link to a different realtime lightning site than the one I posted earlier.

I also have 2 lightning detectors. I have a Thunderbolt Pro and a Skyscan. Does anyone else have one of these?

[wxtracker93]

Heavy rain right now with some very loud rumbles of thunder.

[weatherbowl]

Raining hard with gusty southeast winds.

[robbbs]

Echoing what others have reported -- some impressive lightning and thunder here in the last 1/2 hour.

[LongIslandCoastalWx]

Raining pretty hard here too.

[Snowamp5]

Raining off and on here all day, but the fog is what is making it so yukky up here, all day...I think, and maybe someone can confirm, it is due to the lakes in the area melting, because it seemed so isolated to a 5 mile radius of me all day..... Pouring now....except for some huge piles, most snow is now melted.

[weatherbowl]

Nasty outside, rain at times heavy and winds gusting to almost 30mph out of the SE.

Definitely fog from the melting lakes, water is colder than the air, creating the fog. It's benn pouring here since about 5pm, though i haven' t heard any thunder.
