It’s been a slow start to severe storm season greatly due to persistent northeast troughing and easterly flow off the ocean promoting a cool, stable environment. But that will change starting this week, as we’ve finally broke away from that stubborn pattern.

A cold front will push through as a low pressure moves just to our north, promoting best ingredients for severe storms to be overhead. As a result, the potential exists for a QLCS (line of storms with damaging winds) to develop in Western PA and move east across much of the state. As a result of this concern, an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms has been posted for the eastern two-thirds of Pennsylvania.

Below is future radar from the HRRR Model for Monday. This same future radar is now available on our interactive map in our app, which can be downloaded here.

Below is the Storm Prediction Center Outlook for Monday for the area, which indicates a 30% chance of damaging winds within any point in most of the eastern two-thirds of PA.

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!
