In all seriousness, I found a YouTube video of old Chuck from 5 months ago. I was delighted to know that it seems like he was doing pretty good.I've talked about Chuck and made up stories about him a few times over the years, in here. Definitely, an integral part of my childhood and teen years, and one of the reasons that I like weather so much along with Dr Greg Forbes and the old weather channel crew. Chuck talks about some of his favorite snow memories in this video.

Lol I Miss old Chuck Rhoads to, he's definitely the king of local weather, but i'm talking about Charles Doogley. He did our school weather senior year and earned the nickname Chuck Choads due to an instident involving a farmers stolen goat and a jar of extra chunky jiff. The Great part actually has nothing to do with his weather forecasting abilities and everything to do with a jar of peanut butter.

The Great Chuck Chodes wouldn't have screwed it up this bad. Speaking of the king, he had a term for this kind of storm behavior. I believe he called it circle jerking the Commonwealth, but I could be mistaken.

I did notice the bottom of the conversation mention 18z but the update time is 7:48pm so i'm a little confused. I guess i'm just assuming they would take it down if they thought if all risk was over at that 7:48 update is the point that I was trying to make.

I know a lot of people have given up hope. And I i myself assumed severe is over, but as of the last updates, at 7:48pm Nws seems to still have their eye on the sky. I would have thought they would have changed that if they weren't still foreseeing some possibilitie. National Weather Service State College PA 748 PM EDT Tue Jul 21 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * No significant changes at this time. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through the evening hours today. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through the evening hours today. We are in standby mode for now as the copious amount of energy/lift/strong upper level diffluent flow (associated with the left exit region of a 100+ KT jet) has produced an expansive area of weak convection embedded in light to moderate rain. All of this thick/debris cloud cover will prevent deep convection through the early afternoon, but pockets of fairly quick destabilization via breaks of sun should spread into western PA and remain over our far SE zones to trigger some deeper convection by or shortly after 18Z. We`ll be closely monitoring satellite trends and meso-B stability and shear fields to better hone in on areas under the gun for potential impact of fast-moving TSRA.

I had to get to work.I'm not sure exactly what happened to that the expansive break in the clouds geo was showing this morning, but I maybe got 45 minutes of sun today. Last night's mcs really seems to have things all mucked up now with debris. The cold front's still out in the western Ohio with plenty of time for things to happen. There may be no sun but we still have plenty of time and a powerful system to plow that cold front through. I'm sure the severe risk is falling, but we got a long way to go to say that we're done for the day with storms.

Certainly, can't rule out, you're seeing more storms this morning but either way, it looks like you'll see some sun.

. What's your experiencing should lift north with the warm front , it looks like we're gonna bake off nicely in the warm sector today.

I saw some lighting and heard some thunder from a distance but no rain here . It started as a little blip near Carlisle and became a nice little cluster relatively quickly. Very fast NE motion on those storms already with another weak echo, blazing, due west across the mason dixon. It already seems like there's going to be some ugly stuff around today.

Right now lol.

This video was made five hours ago and the enhanced risk has expanded since, however I'm still always interested to hear Trey Greenwood's take over convective chronicles.

Thank you for checking it out. The Dauphin county youtube channel has some good stuff. I really enjoy the friends of Wildwood and Friends of Fort hunter lecture series. https://youtube.com/@dauphincounty?si=Uhbac1Gt5xRdxPjr

This video has some really fascinating info on the geology of eastern Pa and the Susquahanna river. I had no idea that many of us were living on a piece of Africa that returned after the breakup of Pangaea or that the Little Atlas Mountains in Morocco and the Appalachian mountains were once the same chain.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0210 AM CDT Sun Jul 19 2026 Valid 211200Z - 221200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Numerous severe thunderstorms are expected across a broad region from the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Tuesday. All severe hazards are possible, but swaths of damaging wind gusts should be the primary severe risk Tuesday afternoon into the nighttime hours. ...Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast... A vigorous upper trough will spread across the region on Tuesday. A broad area of strong deep-layer flow, especially by July standards, will overlap a very moist airmass ahead of an eastward progressing surface cold front. Widespread dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s are expected. While some uncertainty exists regarding potential morning convection in the form of a remnant MCS from the Day 2/Monday period across parts of MI/IN/OH, pockets of stronger heating should occur, and given rich moisture/continuous warm advection ahead of the surface front, strong destabilization is forecast. While boundary layer moisture will begin the day somewhat muted across parts of the Northeast, strong warm advection and increasing southerly low-level flow across the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast will also result in northward transport of richer boundary layer moisture through evening. While instability may be somewhat less further east into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast, strong deep-layer flow will envelop this region as well. Supercell wind profiles are evident across the broad warm sector, with 40+ kt westerly flow common above 850 mb. Where supercells can develop and be maintained, all severe hazards will be possible. However, given the strong flow field, and the progressive trough and surface front, one or more bowing segments will quickly develop and spread eastward. Swaths of damaging winds will be the primary concern during the afternoon and into the nighttime hours. ..Leitman.. 07/19/2026

Yes sir. 11Lbs short of a personal best, but I'll still take it at 44lbs. The past two trips my son has hooked something absolutely monstrous and it's thrown the hook both times. My son and I are on some really big fish at the moment and I think it's only a matter of a trip or two until we land something on a whole other level. We've had some opportunities at something special the last few trips but we just can't land it. I've been a few pounds short of the state record twice in the past 20 years when it was still down in the 50lbs range. Now that it's at sixty six pounds, and i'm fifty years old, the Flathead record is starting to become a tall order
