A southwest to northeast oriented line of strong to severe storms will move southeast through parts of the state Friday. The area most at risk continues to be western and northern PA, as well as the Northern Poconos. As the line weakens and breaks apart late Friday evening, it will be more hit-or-miss in the Lower Susquehanna Valley, Lehigh Valley, and Southeast PA.

Below is the Hi-Res NAM future radar 8 PM:

Damaging winds of 50-70 MPH are the main risk with this line, as mentioned yesterday. Isolated small hail is possible as well. Here is the future radar for 10 PM:

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!
