Along with the heat, we have some storms to deal with as well. Northern PA looks to be the focus Thursday and Friday evening. Below are the SPC outlooks for Thursday and Friday.

A cold front will slide through Friday night and Saturday, bringing some serious relief by Sunday. Here are some heat tips to use for the rest of the week.

Lead Forecaster Josh Adams

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!
