Another round of storms is likely today, this time in Eastern and Central PA. The SPC has put much of Eastern PA and eastern parts of Northcentral PA under an enhanced risk today. Central PA is under a slight risk, with a marginal risk in western parts of the state. Below is a table explaining what each risk is.

Here is today’s risk map:

The area most at risk for supercell thunderstorms capable of producing hail and a few tornadoes is Northeast PA. An organized line of strong to severe storms is then anticipated from the Lehigh Valley to the Susquehanna Valley, down into Philadelphia.

Although the threat for hail and tornadoes is somewhat less outside of Northeast PA, it still exists in all of Eastern and Central PA.

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!
