Recommended Posts

I seen yesterday there were 6 tornados confirmed by NWS in western Pa.

Just a quick update: so far, a total of six tornadoes have been confirmed in SW Pennsylvania from the Saturday storms: three in Washington County, two in Fayette County, and one in Westmoreland County. Additional details forthcoming both this evening and tomorrow.

Temperatures today will be close to average for the date with highs well into the 70's to near 80 degrees. We start a warming trend tomorrow with the peak hot day being on Friday which is the only day that higher elevations have a shot a 90 degrees. Most valley spots should reach the 90's Thursday and Friday including higher humidity. While we will cool by a few degrees over the weekend it will remain hot until Monday when temperatures will fall back toward the middle 80's. We have shower chances tomorrow morning and again both Thursday and Friday afternoon.

We are only running around 80% of normal rainfall for the year to date here in East Nantmeal. It looks like we should see at least some showers and thunderstorms today that could give us some welcome rain. A heat advisory goes into effect tomorrow with highs both Thursday and Friday in the low 90's with increasing humidity. Shower chances will be around both later in the day Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks cooler but still warm before we turn much cooler to start the new work week. Temperatures both Monday and Tuesday may only be in the 70's for high temperatures.

   The 00z models have trended toward a much stronger short-wave trough
   and associated mid-level jet, which will progress from the Great
   Lakes and OH Valley into the Northeast. Elsewhere, a short-wave
   trough is forecast to move from the northern Rockies into the
   central Plains. At the surface, a cold front attendant to the
   Northeast short-wave trough will move through that region with the
   trailing extension of the boundary pushing south through the OH and
   TN Valleys into the Gulf Coast states.

   A much stronger low-level jet is now forecast ahead of the cold
   front across the Northeast, which will aid in greater air mass
   destabilization than indicated in previous model runs. When coupled
   with notably stronger vertical shear, the setup appears favorable
   for organized severe storms across the Mid-Atlantic, potentially
   into southern New England Sunday afternoon and evening
