Scattered Severe Thunderstorms Possible Friday Across PA -

It has been a while since we have seen a day with more than one or two severe thunderstorm/tornado warnings. Normally we would be stretching all the way back to last fall but this year we just look back to Late February.

Friday, severe thunderstorms will be possible especially across Southern Pennsylvania which is no surprise for this time of year. Storms will develop in Western PA just after noon and move east through Central and Eastern PA between 3-10 PM. Anytime in these seven hours, areas labeled under the marginal & slight risk could see storms.

Next week looks very active for not only the Plains but potentially our area. With that said, let’s get through Friday first. Here is our Severe Thunderstorm Threat Map.

We have a brand new key for this severe storm season, as shown below.

Be sure to stay tuned to our facebook page, we will be posting all watches and warnings. Stay safe everyone!

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!
