A Good Evening Everyone,<\/span><\/p>\n


\nAll eyes are on Thursday’s potential severe weather and flooding event. I’ll have one more update on what I think the type of risk level we’ll see on Thursday as I turn over the official outlooks starting tomorrow.\u00a0 I’ll have the special updates on this site as this situation unfolds tomorrow.\u00a0 The best thing everyone can do is be ready. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, what do we know at this hour.\u00a0 The system is just starting to develop over the Midwest where there is a higher risk fro severe weather, which means damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes.\u00a0 In addition to those hazards, flooding is another major threat.\u00a0 <\/span>Tonight will be a very active one for this area, which will spill over into Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania late tonight before weakening.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

As this system heads east and the real crux of this forecast will be where the low tracks and its associated warm and cold front.\u00a0 If the low tracks further south, then that means a lesser risk of the severe weather across our region, but if the low tracks just enough north, then we face a widespread severe weather event.\u00a0 Right now, I still think this low will track just enough north, where most of the Philadelphia will face a major severe weather threat.\u00a0 So, my thoughts haven’t changed from yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from the severe weather threat, is the risk for flooding.\u00a0 Right now, I’m going with a high risk for significant flooding.\u00a0 Basically means, 2 to 4 inches could fall, which is what the NWS is thinking for tomorrow.\u00a0 They even note in their briefing, that some areas may receive high amounts, especially north of the Philadelphia Area.\u00a0 Given that we had a lot of rain over the weekend and on Monday, it won’t take much to see areas flood again.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The other facet to this forecast will be how the low will deepen as it heads to the coast.\u00a0 Believe it or not, this system will develop into a Nor’easter and bring heavy rain and high winds\u00a0 for portions of Northeastern PA, NJ and up into eastern New England.<\/span><\/p>\n

All and all, a very active day.\u00a0 Finally, when does the worst hit.. The worst part of the event looks to be\u00a0 the afternoon versus the morning.\u00a0 The estimated time of the severe weather would be between 2 and 6pm.\u00a0 So, big impacts will be felt with PM rush hour and air travel.\u00a0 Expect quite a few delays later tomorrow as the weather goes down hill.\u00a0 With all this said, please plan accordingly keep checking back on the latest forecasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I may have the 5 Day outlook updated, but obviously the focus is for tomorrow.\u00a0 The good news is that once we get past this event, the rest of the outlook appears to be quiet.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
