SUMMARY…Thunderstorms over central Pennsylvania will intensify as they move eastward, while isolated storms form out ahead of the main activity. A few supercells and bowing lines are expected, capable
of damaging winds, hail, and perhaps a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles south southwest of State College PA to 40 miles east of Atlantic City NJ.
SATELLITE
Thunderstorms to the west are moving across Pennsylvania and have been developing from the get go today. Some renegade cells are running out ahead of the main line. Radars both locally and regionally are picking up on these thunderstorms and they are outperforming the short term model forecasts.
WEATHER RADAR
Timing of these storms from west to east continues to lean on the idea of storms arriving in Eastern Pennsylvania in the next couple of hours and reaching the coast between 5 and 6pm Eastern Time. Additional severe thunderstorm or tornado watches could be required for areas east and south of this current watch.
