A warm and humid day is on tap, and unlike yesterday, we expect some sun to break out by the late morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to pop-up by mid to late afternoon, however there is a low chance of severe activity. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Marginal Risk for today across most of western and central Pennsylvania.

Today’s setup is not impressing the models at least around here, but much of the Southeast US is looking at a greater risk. Below is the HRRR loop for 2-9 PM today, showing those scattered showers and storms.

A few showers are possible Wednesday as a gust front goes through, meaning we will also see wind gusts of 20-30 MPH. Afterwards, we will fall back into a cooler pattern with probably little to no severe thunderstorm potential for the next week to possibly two weeks.

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!
