Strong to Severe Storms Again Possible Today in Western & Central PA

Yesterday’s activity can be summarized in one word: scattered. While some areas saw one to two inches of rain and multiple rounds of heavy storms, others had a dry day with dark clouds in the distance. That’s what we expect again today, as another Marginal Risk is out for severe thunderstorms across western and central Pennsylvania.

Temperatures will be nearly identical to Monday as well, with highs around 90 in eastern and central PA, and in the low 80s in western PA. Thunderstorm coverage will also be in the same areas, as you’ll see on future radar.

Showers and storms will develop in western PA by early afternoon. We don’t expect storms to be strong this early in the afternoon. Hi-Res NAM future radar for 2:00 PM today is below.

By the late afternoon we expect thunderstorms to pop-up in central Pennsylvania, most likely west of the Susquehanna Valley. These storms will have the potential to turn strong or severe quicker. Storms will move straight east today, as the cold front is arriving. Here is future radar for 5:00 PM.

Thunderstorms will continue to develop in central PA as they move east in the early evening. They will move into the Susquehanna Valley just before sunset, and some storms may be strong to severe. Damaging winds is the main risk, and some very isolated hail is possible. Below is future radar for 8:00 PM this evening.
