The National Weather Service shared this radar image from the powerful squall line that moved through our area late last night.

The bright red areas on the image show very strong wind signatures within the storm, including winds approaching 70 mph about 500 feet above the ground as the line moved west to east across Burlington County, New Jersey and Camden County, New Jersey.

As this line passed over communities including Palmyra, those stronger surges of wind likely contributed to the downed limbs, scattered debris, and power outages reported around the region.

Storms like this can move through very quickly and intensify rapidly. It’s a good reminder to always stay weather aware and have a way to receive warnings, especially overnight.

A closer look at a portion of last night's squall line as it was racing across Burlington and Camden counties in NJ. Note several enhanced velocity signatures in the radar image along the squall line. The two yellow arrows depict the forward surges with the strongest signatures that had 70 mph winds at about 500 feet above the ground. This is where the more significant straight-line wind damage occurred. The white arrows show several weaker wind signatures, however these could still produce some damage. These signatures in the radar velocity data were seen along the entire length of the squall line as it raced from west to east.
