Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Likely Saturday, Some Bringing Wind Gusts Over 60mph & Cloud-to-Ground Lightning

        The Storm Prediction Center has labeled much of PA under a slight risk. Damaging winds, quarter size hail, and an isolated tornado will be possible. Being that temperatures will be over 90 degrees tomorrow in many regions, storms will likely get started in the mid-morning. However we don’t expect them to gain strength until the afternoon.

        There is no specific timing because the storms will be pop-ups and scattered in nature throughout the day, so if you have any outdoor plans be sure to check the radar every so often and stay tuned for any weather alerts for your area. Below are the Main Thunderstorm Risks for Saturday.

        Storms will be moving from northwest to southeast. For example if a storm is over Harrisburg, then it will likely be heading into Western Lancaster County of Eastern York County. As mentioned, the greatest threat will be damaging winds especially if an organized line forms. Here is the Storm Prediction Center’s Risk Map.

        If you hear thunder, then you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Don’t forget to like us on facebook by clicking here.
