Severe Thunderstorms To Produce Damaging Winds Thursday

Much like yesterday, scattered thunderstorms will be in the forecast state-wide, however this time around, there is more of an upside potential in terms of meeting Severe criteria.

Timing: Storms will fire up in the mid-morning hours across Western PA and continue to develop and push Eastward throughout the Afternoon hours.

The Storm Prediction Center has stated that the main impact with Today’s storms will be damaging winds in excess of 60mph.

Area A – The Storm Prediction Center has placed this area under a SLIGHT RISK for Severe Weather. Based on Today’s setup and the ingredients that will be coming together, this area stands the best chance for storms capable of producing Severe Weather.

Area B – This area has been placed under a MARGINAL RISK for Severe Weather. Although a lower threat than Area A, this area still stands the chance of damaging winds.

Area C – All storms will remain under Severe Criteria.

**Please note, although the Storm Prediction Center did not mention this in their discussion, yesterday’s storms “trained” over the same areas for an extended period of time causing flash flooding, Today’s setup is pretty similar, so included with Damaging Winds, Flash Flooding in our opinion is also another big threat.**

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!
