Another day, another threat for showers and thunderstorms. The areas with the greater risk of strong to severe thunderstorms today will be across the Eastern half of Pennsylvania.

First, morning showers are expected across Western PA into the Laurel Highlands, as well as parts of Central PA. Below is a look at the future radar valid for 11:00 AM: 

These showers will then begin to enter a more unstable environment across the eastern half of the state as we head into the afternoon hours. This will allow for storms cells to fire up and potentially produce severe weather. Below is a look at the future radar valid for 5:00 PM this afternoon: 

The main concern with today’s storms is the potential for flash flooding. Almost all of Central Pennsylvania and into Northeast Pennsylvania are under a FLASH FLOOD WATCH until tomorrow morning due to the already saturated grounds.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
