GFS and EURO confirm... ugliness on the way. I think SE PA gets railed. Under day 2 moderate already. 

 

As you said...Day 2 Moderate Risk out for the Mid-Atlantic..Slight Risk has been pushed farther north to include many people in this forum. Definitely a "Keep you eyes to the sky kind of day"

I think the MDT will expand a bit more NW. Meanwhile tonight PA might get railed as well.

I am really sick of the hyping of weather events done by the ratings-starved media. Yesterday a story was going around on facebook from a media source saying that Pittsburgh could see 100 mph winds today. I had people tell me that businesses were discussing letting people go home from work early today. I saw TWC this morning using terms "Dangerous and Fierce Severe Storms." Aren't severe storms always dangerous for somebody? I saw "Dangerous Winds" and "Dangerous Heat". In the 1970 and 80's when the temperature got to 90 the terms were "Hazy Hot and Humid". "Drink lots of water and stay in the air conditioning". Now 90 degree weather is "dangerous", "life threatening etc" 

This is not a hurricane and this is not Oklahoma City. Now it looks like western Pa. will see possible severe weather weather after 8:00 tonight and no different from any other severe weather event. Social media is making it worse because facebook users and twitter users are now making reports and treated the same as skywarn spotters and they have no weather experience.

It looks like the "Weenies" have taken over and the hype will continue.

Sorry but I needed to vent.

Lol...it will rain heavy tomorrow and there will be some T-storm warnings. Unbelievable hype for this event lol a lot can go wrong.

I think it's fairly safe to say that those north of the turnpike will see primarily rain. Points south, specifically closer to the mason-dixon have a far greater chance of severe wx.

Luckily 12z caved from it's frightening solution, to what will probably be a slight risk at the next update. All models staying progressive with no real deepening to speak of.

Euro still has decent rain hit for much of PA... if models under predict strength of system there will still be a good threat
