The eastern half of the state has been upgraded to a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and evening. These storms will be scattered as they move east-northeast. The main threat is wind gusts of 40-60mph.

Storms will develop mainly in South Central PA around 3-4pm, with a few pop-up cells possible in the Endless Mountains and Mid-Susquehanna Valley. From there, they’ll move east-northeast into Southeast PA and possibly the Southern Poconos both around 5-7pm. Philadelphia may not be done with these storms until 8-9pm.

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!
