  1. Late October storms can get quite nasty at the low levels compared to some other months around here . Hold on to your candy if your man enough keyboard jockeys .

Severe thunderstorms capable of strong wind gusts are expected across much of the eastern U.S. Thursday -- particularly from areas along and east of the central and southern Appalachians to the mid Atlantic and Carolinas coastal areas. ...Synopsis... An upper trough crossing the central U.S. at the start of the period will evolve into a deepening closed low with time, as the system shifts quickly east-northeastward across the Midwest, and then into the Northeast overnight. As this occurs, the broader trough surrounding the low will gradually take on a more neutral to slightly negative tilt, through the end of the period. As this occurs, a cold front -- initially trailing from a low near the KY vicinity southward across Alabama to near the mouth of the Mississippi River -- will advance steadily eastward during the day. The front should cross the Appalachian crest by afternoon, as the parent low rapidly deepens and eventually occludes over the Lower Great Lakes area, reaching the Atlantic coast after midnight. This front will focus a band of showers and thunderstorms -- and attendant risk for severe weather primarily along and east of the mountains. ...Portions of the PA/NY vicinity southward/southwestward to the southern Appalachians... A zone of showers and thunderstorms should be ongoing at the start of the period from the mid Ohio Valley/Mid South region south-southwestward to the western Gulf of Mexico, in the vicinity of an advancing surface cold front. A secondary area of showers -- perhaps with some embedded lightning -- will be shifting quickly northeastward across the Carolinas/Virginia vicinity. Only minimal severe risk -- mainly in the form of gusty winds or a brief tornado -- is apparent at this time within either of these areas of convection through the first several hours of the period. With time, the advance of the cold front across the southern, and then the central, Appalachians during the afternoon in conjunction with the strengthening upper system will result in gradual organization of a band of frontal convection. Very strong flow aloft will aid in the convective organization, with upscale evolution toward a semi-continuous band of storms expected. By late afternoon/early evening, storms will likely have become fairly well-organized, crossing south-central and southeastern PA, MD, VA, and the Carolinas along with attendant risk for strong/damaging wind gusts. Low-level wind profiles will become supportive of supercells during the afternoon across the pre-frontal warm sector. While suggestive of some tornado potential, pre-frontal warm-sector storms are largely not anticipated. Still, a few mainly QLCS-type tornadoes will be possible, given the overall dynamic/kinematic set-up -- particularly from late afternoon through mid evening. As storms near the coast overnight, gradual weakening of the convection -- and associated diminishing of the severe risk -- is expected, though limited wind risk will likely extend to near the mid Atlantic/Carolina coasts overnight. ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD...

Severe thunderstorms capable of strong wind gusts are possible from the Upper Ohio Valley into portions of the Mid-Atlantic States and Southeast on Thursday. ...Synopsis... A strong shortwave trough is expected to mature into a vertically stacked mid-latitude cyclone as it moves through the mid MS and OH Valleys and into eastern Ontario and the Northeast States. Very strong mid/upper-level flow will accompany this system, with a 100+ kt 500-mb jet streak moving throughout its eastern periphery across the TN/OH Valleys and into the Northeast. Surface low associated with this system will likely be centered over the IN/OH border early Thursday with an attendant cold front extending south-southwestward through middle TN and central AL and off the central Gulf Coast. This low will occlude as it moves north-northeastward throughout the day. The attendant cold front will sweep eastward across the eastern CONUS, moving off the East Coast of the CONUS late Thursday night. Thunderstorms are anticipated along the length of this front, some which could be severe. ...Southeast into Mid-Atlantic States... Showers and isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing within the broad pre-frontal warm sector from the Southeast into the northern Mid-Atlantic. Moisture advection ahead of the front will likely result in low 70s dewpoints across the Southeast, upper 60s/low 70s across much of the Mid-Atlantic, and mid 60s as far north as PA and NJ. Diurnal heating will be tempered by abundant cloud cover and antecedent precipitation but ample low-level will still result in modest instability (i.e. MLCAPE 500-1000 J/kg) ahead of the front. Pre-frontal showers and thunderstorms are anticipated through the mid to late afternoon. Thereafter, the fast-moving cold front will likely catch up to these pre-frontal storms, leading to a consolidation of all the deep convection along the front. The strong southwesterly flow aloft will extend across the entire region and a few of the pre-frontal storms may be able to organize enough to produce damaging wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado. Once storms consolidate along the front, strong forcing for ascent attendant to the shortwave trough coupled with vertically veering wind profiles will likely lead to a narrow but well-organized convective line. Strong wind gusts will be the main threat within the line and the highest coverage of severe storms is currently expected across the Mid-Atlantic states, from central PA through western SC. A few tornadoes are possible within the line, particularly across the northern Mid-Atlantic where low-level flow will be strongest. Current HREF guidance suggests the probability of any pre-frontal supercells across central VA and the central Carolinas is low. However, the environmental conditions ahead of the front during the late afternoon support supercell development with any persistent deep convection. ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD...

  4. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 448 AM EDT Thu Sep 12 2019 A potentially interesting situation is hinted at next week with the upper high parked over the SE US. A wave in the Bahamas is brought under this ridge into the eastern Gulf of Mexico, with the ECMWF/GFS/Canadian all remarkably close in bringing a possible tropical cyclone toward the NE gulf states perhaps as early as later Monday. By the middle of next week there are hints that whatever moves ashore could be heading north up the Appalachians toward the OH Valley or NERN US, or at least a stream of deeper tropical moisture advecting up this way
  5. I wouldn't use the past to forecast tomorrows weather, Its not just a front. Most of us will see the warm sector tomorrow with good timing and I believe the low its self tracks across north central Pa. Unlike the last few systems that have come through my area the moist LLJ and LLWS tomorrow should produce plenty surface base stuff tomorrow dreams are made of . Birds of pray will be be riding the rotating thermals and updrafts tomorrow. Watch for tree canopy's exposing the undersides of there foliage. I know a bunch of you Modern Cell Phone Joes write that shit off as hokey but there just a few things that work and could save your life someday. Until then stay safe and piss off :)
  6. Despite the high air/water temps fishing has been epic in the Conawago Adams/York Co. the past week so even though I knew It could get hairy overnight I decided to do a over night kayaking trip last night. It turned out I missed every storm musky and catfish down that way I dont know if I was lucky or unlucky. It did turn out to be much cooler then previous nights and the wago was absolute glass and peaceful this morning.
  7. Stay safe today and tonight Cpa. My last post was supposed to be a funny joke to make you go hehehaha and snort.
  8. I dont know about you fellows but after a few weeks of week sauce weather I'm ready for the next 7 to 10 days of old school heat and hopefully an mcs mcv type event or two. After hours of hard core crunching with my zeus like forecasting abilities this is what I have to say about the next 7-10 days in the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6QZn9xiuOE If you dont like it your a ass clown big time.
  9. It hammered down rain here for about 10 minutes tonight other than that a great long deration lighting event looking north ,east and south from my garden. Convection and cloud cover are waning fast in the OH and TN valley this morning. Should be FN BOOM TOWN today. Jubilee day and strong convection are almost synonymous . Anyways if anyone wants to punch me in my face I will be at Jubilee day today if the weather allows . Look for the guy with orange curly hair ,big red nose , size 26 shoe with has arms around your wife.
  10. on a dangerous day like today I suppose its a good idea to use every outlet you have digital and non
  11. you could yous your cell phone but you wont learn anyting and it will let you down
  12. keep an eye on birds of pray flight patterns and how exposed the underside of the foliage is on the tallest trees to know if you are in an area strong lift today if the tree canopy is light green and the foliage upside down and pointing up get in side or move. If birds of pray are in the area doing circles and not flapping there wings your in a hot spot.
  13. The above is my favrite radar image of all time. classic Bookend vort, super cells inflow notches mcv complex and more its all there.
  14. I belive this MCV back in 2003 also prompted a state wide watch but I don't remember.
  15. its quickly becoming a parade of super cells. With so many strong cells so early this baby should congeal into a nice MCV before nights end
  16. oil city super cell just took a hard right turn she is spinning good
  17. Its happening now stay safe friends and foe I am out to chase be back late tonight
  18. storms just east and west of Butler are starting to show rotation
