Strong to Severe Thunderstorms have the potential of disrupting your plans for your Saturday. A line of storms will pushing from Northwest to Southeast throughout the first half of your day Saturday, possibly producing bowing segments that have the capabilities of producing damaging winds.

These storms will be hit or miss meaning NOT EVERY TOWN will see a storm.

The earlier this system arrives Tomorrow, the less chance of this line producing Severe Weather. However, if it comes in a little slower, areas that receive this line in the afternoon/early evening hours have the better chance of experiencing Severe Weather and is why the Storm Prediction Center has placed these areas under a MARGINAL RISK.

Below is the latest Storm Prediction Center forecast for Saturday.

Area A – This area is placed under a MARGINAL RISK for Severe Weather. Timing: 11 AM – 2 PM for Wesern areas in this Zone (closer to Harrisburg) and 2 PM – 5 PM for Central and Eastern areas of this zone (Reading, Allentown, Philadelphia, etc.)

Area B – Thunderstorms are possible Saturday Mid-Morning. Most activity will remain below Severe Criteria. Timing: 7 AM – 11 AM, West to East.

Area C – Showers are still possible early Saturday Morning, but due to the fact these showers will happen before Sunrise, little to no instability will be available in these locations to produce Severe Storms. Timing: 12 AM (Saturday) – 7 AM West to East.

Main Impacts: Damaging Winds in excess of 60 MPH.

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!
