Either or both areas of storms will spread into central Pennsylvania through the afternoon, and potentially as far south as the West Virginia/Maryland Panhandles. Damaging gusts will be the main threat, though the strongest storms could also produce isolated large hail (1-1.5 inches in diameter). The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles south southwest of Dubois PA to 40 miles northeast of Harrisburg PA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Nothing in the current or forecast parameters looks particular unfavorable, unless I’m missing something. I think that SPC agrees, given the inclusion of northern MD in the ENH area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Just now, high risk said: Nothing in the current or forecast parameters looks particular unfavorable, unless I’m missing something. I think that SPC agrees, given the inclusion of northern MD in the ENH area. SPC mesoanalysis shows 500+ (and increasing) CAPE, okay enough ML lapse rates, better LL lapse rates, and 30kt effective shear 0-6km all in the NOVA area. With a forward motion towards the metro of 35ish MPH and it being 100 miles away it should approach us by sundown. I think we could at least get a decent line of showers and storms with much needed rainfall. Maybe Harper's ferry and MD will get some nasty severe weather too.

vortex95 Posted 16 minutes ago Share Posted 16 minutes ago 9 minutes ago, Eskimo Joe said: New warning for Carroll and Baltimore counties has the considerable tag on it for 70 mph winds. That large of an area to the E of a lead warning? The eastern edge of the warning, it is going to be almost an hour before anything occurs When ppl get a svr tstm warning, and say, 30 min goes by, and nothing has happened yet, that I would argue promotes apathy, and ppl will start to stand down/go back to what they are doing. Many ppl are only willing to take so much time out of the day for short-fused, convective-related warnings like this. A longer lead time is not always better. There comes a point of diminishing returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
