Today might be one of those days where the severe parameters look great but being too far from either the warm front/cold front/low we don't have a trigger to set some good storms off... MOS for both GFS and NAM have temperatures on Friday afternoon in the low to mid 60s for a number of us... indeed crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 WTF kind of story is this? PA tornadoes "different animal" from what happened in Oklahoma “The tornadoes we get here are much different animals for a variety of reasons,” said Greg DoVoir, senior forecaster with the National Weather Service in State College. DeVoir said the central and southern plains areas provide “ideal ingredients” for extreme storms. When those ingredients – flat terrain, a dry line from the west, rich Gulf of Mexico moisture and winds that change directions – come together that “produces some incredible instability that is able to produce some very destructive tornadoes.” “We don’t have the extremes that those areas have,” DeVoir said. We have some of the conditions in varying degrees. If we didn’t, we also would not see thunderstorms, hail or small tornadoes. In Pennsylvania, DeVoir said the “benchmark” is May 31, 1985, when there were 18 tornadoes in the central part of the state – eight of them were the strongest at F4 or F5. Um, the story says eight were F4 or F5 yet "we can't get them" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 WTF kind of story is this? Um, the story says eight were F4 or F5 yet "we can't get them" ... i saw that. and just because they don't happen as often in PA doesn't mean we can't get them. it just takes more effort to get them compared to most. and the terrain doesn't help for northeast PA, especially the w-b/scr area as well as in the poconos, but they can get them. I had childhood friends get picked up in the harvey's lake tornado in the 80's when their parents tried to drive away. there was the Crestwood event in December of 2007. but I know southeast PA happens to get some nasty ones, as well as in the northern Tier of PA and western PA, especially when they get lake-breeze help off of Lake Erie. but the byline of the story should have been "we don't get them as often as tornado alley", not "we can't get them".

Jim Marusak Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 so how long until we fill in the central PA with a watch as well, like say i-81 west to us220? because the storms from the west will eventually turn into gusty cells for central pa, and those cells may lead to a bit of re-development for northeast PA, depending on progress.

Grew up in Texas, lived through two tornadic direct hits. People here don't a) understand true severe weather (they freak out over too small of events, thus don't get amped up enough for true threats) and have no idea what to do to prepare. I was talking to a coworker yesterday about what to do if a tornado hit and he said they'd open their windows and go lean against their house OUTSIDE so it wouldn't fall on them. He still doesn't believe me you should get to the centermost, bottom-level floor (basement if you have it) without any windows and if you have time get pillows or even a mattress on top of you. We have a psuedo safe room under our stairs (no basement for us) that has an mattress and some water and food just in case a tornado hits. People think I'm crazy for it here. P.S.

We got it here in Port Matilda, fire sirens going, and I saw a tree go down in the woods at the end of my yard. My poor neighbor across the street, I called her to see if anyone could come close her window, maybe one of us here had a key. She didn't. Her and her partner had their window wide open on the second floor, squarely facing the wind. They must have a helluva mess to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no wind at all then had a gust to about 40. Then for about a minute had sustained winds about 45 and gusted probably about 60. Not much thunder. That's a shame about your neighbor's house. Hopefully not to many things got blown over inside. Our neighbor's trampoline was obliterated. Smashed into a fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
