Friday Afternoon Severe Weather and Flash Flooding Discussion!!!

The Storm Prediction Center has added a Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 5) for severe weather across the Ohio Valley and Central Appalachian region for today. In addition, the Weather Prediction Center has placed much of our region under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall, with a Slight Risk (Level 2 out of 5) in place for portions of central and eastern Pennsylvania near and east of the Susquehanna River.

Central/Eastern Pennsylvania Forecast:

Showers and thunderstorms have developed across our region, and will continue to impact parts of the area into this evening. As of early afternoon, he most numerous and intense thunderstorm activity has developed over the mountains of central Pennsylvania, and will continue to push eastward throughout the remainder of the afternoon. These storms have already prompted several severe thunderstorm warnings, and will continue pose the risk for severe weather.

Eastern Ohio through Western Pennsylvania:

After morning convection brought drenching downpours and flash flooding risks to western Pennsylvania, a lull in the activity is currently ongoing. This break is allowing instability to rebuild across this area, and storms have redeveloped across eastern Ohio. These storms will move eastward through the rest of the afternoon, and could produce a few severe wind gusts and additional flash flooding.

Those with outdoor plans for this evening should monitor forecasts, and stay updated on watches and warnings issued by the Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service.

Active Weather Pattern Expected Over The Next Week From The Ohio Valley To The Central Appalachians!!!

After a comfortable start to the week across the region, a moist, summer-like air mass has returned over the last couple of days. As we approach the upcoming weekend, the warm and humid air will continue to dominate the weather pattern. As expected, this will lead to opportunities for showers and thunderstorms; however rain chances appear to decrease each day through out the weekend. A more active weather pattern will unfold next week, bringing a heightened potential for severe weather.

Here is the weather forecast for each day this weekend:

* Friday Forecast:

Scattered to numerous storms will develop during the heating of the day, and continue into the overnight hours. Marginal flow and relatively moist mid-levels will limit the severe weather potential with the storms tomorrow, though a few storms could produce damaging winds. Another concern will be the high level of precipitable water content in the atmospheric column. This will lead to the risk of flash flooding, especially in areas that have received heavy rainfall in recent days.

* Saturday Forecast:

After a more active day on Friday, Saturday will feature a much quieter setup. Given the warmth and elevated dewpoints, a passing shower of thunderstorm is possible, but the coverage should be more scattered in nature. Any ambitious storm on Saturday could produce some isolated instances of flash flooding and severe weather.

* Sunday Forecast:

Sunday looks to be the winner in the weather department this weekend. Most areas will experience a dry day with q continuation of warmth and elevated dew points. There may be a noticeable drop in the dewpoints on Sunday, though it will still feel somewhat humid. An isolated shower or storm may still occur, but very isolated coverage is expected at this time.

Weather Forecast For Next Week:

While the details are uncertain at this range, it appears that the jet stream will strengthen as we head into next week. With warm, moist air in place, this will likely lead to the potential for severe weather and perhaps flash flooding. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming active pattern that is expected next week.
