The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for the eastern two-thirds of Pennsylvania. Damaging winds are the primary threat, with gusts commonly in the 40-55mph range, isolated higher. A very low hail threat and low tornado threat risk exist as well.

Timing for strong to severe thunderstorms will be 1-6pm in Central PA, and 4-8pm in Eastern PA. This will not be a solid line of storms, making timing almost impossible to nail down to the hour in each locality. Stay tuned to radar and alerts today!

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!
