WOW, impressed by 30 percent put up by SPC. However, in the AFD State College basically says MEHHHH about tomorrow lol.

SPC has been terrible lately. I don't see much for anyone really southeast of state college. Nw of there ya. CTP and LWX have isolated storms. SPC is talking numerous. I don't buy it.

it's a running joke with a friend of mine and myself... when SPC goes 30% or higher for us... we get sunny skies

some of the good severe storms/confirmed tornadoes we have had around here the past few years have come on days with low to no forecast % for severe... seems like more often than not when we get put into a high % that it ends up a bust. I believe it was back in the spring, for example, we were under 30-45% for hail/severe wind and i think 5% for tornado... well the low tracked further north than was modeled and we barely saw any thunderstorm development with CAPE 3500-4000 and other severe parameters in favorable ranges.

Seems like a good shot. IDK why CTP always says heat indices around 100, the air temp will be 100, heat indices tomorrow will be like 105-108.

Tomorrow might be a good day to stay home, hang by the pool and drink beer.
