Stay safe this weekend. We’ve got some potential for severe storms rolling through the area. If you end up with some storm damage. you know who to call!
** SEVERE WEATHER RISK SATURDAY **
There has been an uptick in the severe potential for tomorrow. A cold front will pose a risk for severe weather Saturday afternoon and evening, especially across western and central Pennsylvania. Ahead of the front, there will be a lot of instability and wind shear. This will allow for the risk of multiple storm clusters and even some damaging wind segments to develop, especially with any prolonged sunshine tomorrow, allowing for decent instability. A few of these storms could also have hail up to quarter-sized or larger. The best risk is for cities such as Pittsburgh and State College.
BEST TIMING: 3pm - 9pm (although any isolated shower/storm could occur beforehand)
NOTE: The isolated/scattered coverage wording is for the severe weather outlook. While the strong storm coverage is only isolated and scattered, the chance of seeing rain or thunder is higher than the chance of experiencing severe weather.
(ZONE 2, RED): Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest storms may pack wind gusts of 60 - 65 mph with hail up to quarter-sized. Non-severe impacts may include torrential downpours and lightning.
(ZONE 1, YELLOW): Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest storms may pack wind gusts of 55 - 65 mph. Non-severe impacts may include torrential downpours and lightning.
Keep in mind, severe weather does not impact every house or neighborhood. Unless it is a large outbreak, severe weather impacts will differ even across small areas. It is always good to be prepared by having multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts and a shelter to take cover in when severe weather strikes.
