Three more tornados confirmed 287 NOUS41 KCTP 050026 PNSCTP PAZ051-050430- Public Information Statement National Weather Service State College PA 826 PM EDT Fri Sep 4 2026 ...NWS Damage Survey for 09/01/2026 Tornado Event... .Derry Township Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.87 miles Path Width /maximum/: 250 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 09/01/2026 Start Time: 05:40 PM EDT Start Location: 2 ESE Washingtonville / Montour County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 41.0343 / -76.648 End Date: 09/01/2026 End Time: 05:41 PM EDT End Location: 2 ESE Washingtonville / Montour County / PA End Lat/Lon: 41.0322 / -76.6321 Survey Summary: During the evening of September 1st, 2026, a supercell thunderstorm moved southeastward through Montour County, resulting in a brief EF-1 tornado, which impacted southern portions of the county in Derry Township. We also found damage due to a downburst that occurred on the north side of the tornado, associated with the forward flank downdraft of this supercell. Maximum wind speeds from this tornado were estimated to be 100 mph, and the tornado had a maximum path width of 250 yards. Tornadic damage was first noted in the woods between Steffens Rd and Indian Run Rd, with a start time of 5:40 PM local time. The tornadic damage was primarily on Stable Ln and the hairpin turn on Indian Run Rd. In this location, two large trees snapped and fell on a shed, with a trail of snapped and uprooted trees into the woods beyond the property. The tornado continued eastward before dissipating near Fossil Hill Rd at 5:41 PM local time. Surrounding this track, numerous trees were snapped and uprooted from straight-line winds, making a broadly divergent pattern particularly to the north of the tornado path. We would like to thank Montour County Emergency Management, local homeowners, and other members of the local community for their assistance in this damage survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data.

Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 6.5 miles Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 09/01/2026 Start Time: 05:33 PM EDT Start Location: 4 W Gaines / Potter County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 41.794 / -77.6155 End Date: 09/01/2026 End Time: 05:48 PM EDT End Location: 4 ESE Galeton / Tioga County / PA End Lat/Lon: 41.7082 / -77.5748 Survey Summary: On September 1, 2026 at approximately 5:33 PM EDT, an EF-1 tornado impacted areas of eastern Potter County and western Tioga County in the vicinity of Gaines Township. Maximum wind speeds were estimated at 110 mph with a maximum path width of 150 yards. Damage associated with the tornado began north of Galeton near Phoenix Run in Pike Township, where multiple hardwood trees were snapped along with numerous large branches on both sides of Phoenix Road. There was more extensive damage just east of Phoenix Road, where a larger swath of EF-1 damage was observed with some uprooted trees alongside snapped trees and large branches. Damage continued southeastward on Phoenix Road in Potter County with more sporadic damage including broken large branches and snapped trees. There was an area where the tornado potentially lifted as it approached US Route 6 with damage being largely sporadic and not as concentrated as it crossed the roadway. Once crossing US Route 6, more widespread damage was observed across Hanky Panky Road in Gaines Township, Tioga County. Numerous uprooted and snapped trees were observed across approximately a 150 yard segment with eyewitnesses mentioning that there were trees across the roadway in a convergent pattern. This damage continued towards the intersections of Dingman Road and Bloody Run Road, where concentrated areas of snapped and uprooted trees continued to be observed. There was another eyewitness that noted multiple trees uprooted at their residence on Dingman Road with what appeared to be a convergent pattern. As the storm continued into Marshlands, multiple large branches as well as uprooted and snapped trees were in a convergent pattern, with surrounding vegetation also outlining a convergent pattern. The tornado likely continued to parallel Elk Run Road just south of the roadway before dissipating on the north side of the intersection with Straight Run Road. We would like to thank Gaines Township Emergency Management, Tioga County Emergency Management, multiple first responders, and the multiple eyewitnesses from Gaines Township for their assistance with this damage survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Beaty/Krantz

I believe it might have been confirmed this afternoon.
090 NOUS41 KCTP 050042 PNSCTP PAZ066-050445- Public Information Statement National Weather Service State College PA 842 PM EDT Fri Sep 4 2026 ...NWS Damage Survey for 09/01/2026 Tornado Event... .Salisbury Township Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.08 miles Path Width /maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 09/01/2026 Start Time: 07:44 PM EDT Start Location: 4 NNE Gap / Lancaster County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.034 / -75.9802 End Date: 09/01/2026 End Time: 07:48 PM EDT End Location: 3 NE Gap / Lancaster County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0189 / -75.9781 Survey Summary: At 7:44 p.m. local time on September 1, 2026 an EF-1 tornado, with maximum wind speeds of 90 mph, touched down in Salisbury Township northwest of the Mount Vernon Road and Old Philadelphia Pike intersection with a width of 100 yards. It traveled south as it ripped off the roof of a barn and threw sections through the Old Road Mennonite Church graveyard before crossing Old Philadelphia Pike and paralleling Mount Vernon Road. It ripped a roof off another barn and snapped many larger limbs from a tree in the neighboring pasture. Continuing south it took some sections of roof and loose items from three farm outbuildings and ejected them throughout the fields. As it continued along Mount Vernon Road, a clump of trees was hit where many trees were uprooted and large branches snapped. Farther south, a barn sustained some minor roof damage before a one room school house was impacted with its whole roof torn off. At the intersection of Buena Vista Road and Mount Vernon Road, another tree was uprooted and a telephone pole was bent. It continued south to the east of Mount Vernon Road where it crossed Pequea Creek, snapping many large branches and uprooting a few more trees. Past the creek, another clump of trees saw large branches snapped before the tornado dissipated in a field. We would like to thank Lancaster County Emergency Management and Salisbury Township officials for their assistance in this damage survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Krantz

SUMMER 2026 RECAPWe still have a few weeks of Astronomical Summer left, but Meteorological Summer ended earlier this week. Here is a look at the final statistics for Summer 2026 from the Susquehanna Valley's official NWS climate site - Harrisburg International Airport (HAI).We had 3 days with highs in the 100s. The last time we had 3 days or more in the 100s during a summer season was 1999. Even though we had some incredibly hot days, we were only 0.8° above average for the whole season. This places Summer 2026 as the 15th warmest on record (out of 139 years).Summer 2026 was dry for some and wet for others in the Susquehanna Valley. At Harrisburg International Airport, it was dry with only 9.05" recorded all season. This is 3.44" below average and places Summer 2026 as the 47th driest Summer on record (out of 139 years).NOTE - some areas across the Susquehanna Valley saw very heavy rainfall due to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Due to the high variability with rainfall over short distances, the 9.05" recorded HIA may not reflect the Summer season for everyone in the Susquehanna Valley. #PAwx #WGALWeather

Another 65” from midnight to 7 am.
Those storms overnight were marvelous and rare for us.
I can remember we used to have them years ago. And it seemed to occur during around the last week of July, not the first week of September. Also I remember September 2011 Labor day evening had heavy drenching Thunderstorms that dumped over 2 in. Of rain in a very short time on the drought stricken area. My creek came up 3 feet from that thunderstorm. Then a few days later Lee showed up...the rest is history.

256 FXUS61 KCTP 031135 AFDCTP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 735 AM EDT Thu Sep 3 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * Issued a Flash Flood Watch for all of our CWA through Midnight this Thursday night. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Late summer surge of heat and humidity continues with a severe thunderstorm and excessive rainfall threat through this Thursday evening && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Late summer surge of heat and humidity continues with a severe thunderstorm and excessive rainfall threat through this Thursday evening Main change this forecast cycle was to issue a Flash Flood Watch for the entire CWA based on the current wide distribution of moderate to heavy rain and embedded/training TSRA along with a HREF/NAM/MRMS blend of short range model guidance and remote sensing. A seemingly endless train of mid/upper level impulses riding ESE along the southern edge of a persistent jet and within a region of broad upper level diffluence and anomalously high PWATs of nearly 2 inches will continue to interact with numerous, converging convective outflow boundaries to produce several more bouts of heavy showers/TSRA today through at least early tonight. Basin "Average" rainfall across the CWA will likely range between 0.75 to 1.25 inches but as we saw Wed/Wednesday night, training/and back-building TSRA could easily dump over 3 inches of rain in just an hour and lead to significant flash flooding. The target areas for the heaviest rainfall today and this evening should be the Southwest half of the CWA as a well- defined outflow boundary has pushed into southern PA early today. We do expect the airmass to recover quickly late this morning/early this afternoon as this first MCS moves SE. However, a glance just to the left shows another developing MCS close on its heels over West-Central Lake Erie. This feature is progged by high res near term model guidance to track SE twd the laurel and diminish by 14-15Z. By 19-20Z today, more TSRA fire across Northern PA and a second larger area follows for this evening over a similar part of the state that experience the heavy rain over the past 24 hours. Additionally, increased southwest to westerly flow today will continue to pump in the late summer heat and very high dewpoints. A heat advisory remains in effect from 11a-8p Thursday across a portion of south central PA where max heat index values are projected to reach/exceed 100F. As mentioned above, SPC`s severe risk are will encompass primarily the SW half of the state where ML CAPE will be the highest, but the MRGL risk area will cover practically the entire rest of Eastern PA. An upper level trough passage favors one final round of showers and storms on Friday, but fortunately the Labor Day weekend is trending dry. The upper ridge is forecast to retrograde by the end of the week which allows for a return to more seasonal temperatures and lower humidity this weekend into early next week. &&

Strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and heavy rainfall are expected once again today through early tonight.

5:30am update on the monster coming off the Glaks.
As the overnight's storms push to the southeast, another round is beginning to move in from the northwest. The environment doesn't look very supportive, so this is anticipated to weaken as it pushes southeast. All hazards threat for activity later in the afternoon/evening
