pawatch Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Picked up 0.50" of rain last night. Sounds like it is going to be an interesting afternoon. NWS Eastern Region @NWSEastern 2h Potential for severe thunderstorms across much of the East today and tonight. A squall line is expected to develop ahead of a cold front this afternoon. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat from these storms, a few tornadoes & localized flash flooding are also possible. pic.twitter.com/CI44l06VX1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My specific township has not cancelled trick or treat and I do not have enough candy to try and hit their bags each time a tornado would circle them around to my house, ala Wizard of Oz, so the kids better get here before that happens or I better hope my aim is top notch tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Going to go out on a limb here and call this a bit of a surprise for the beginning of the event. We have had nothing but a light rain event at this point and radar indicates nothing else is imminent. I understand there is a cold front coming and all hell could break loose for a period but the longevity of the event was progged to be a bit more severe than the reality has turned out to be. Our first dry slot "bust" of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 SPS issued for the region stating gusts of 60 to 80 mph possible with squall line passage. " A line of severe thunderstorms is expected to cross Central Pennsylvania, roughly between 5 and 10 pm. Some areas will see damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph along this line of storms. Given how strong the winds are in the lower levels of the atmosphere, isolated tornadoes are also a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def one of the more confident and stronger worded special weather statements I've seen for the area. Severe watch issuance is a quite likely and potentially may come with a tornado watch for the southern counties for potential QLCS tornadoes given the dynamics. Winds not very far aloft are screaming, even 850mb winds on mesoanalysis are showing 45-55 knots over PA. It won't take much for the impending squall line to tap down severe wind gusts. Some CAPE being shown in the south central as well (few to several hundred J/kg) which is notable in this type of later fall setup with the high low level shear present. This lends to the potential for QLCS tornadoes imbedded within the squall line.

A line of severe thunderstorms is expected to cross Central Pennsylvania, roughly between 5 and 10 pm. Some areas will see damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph along this line of storms. Given how strong the winds are in the lower levels of the atmosphere, isolated tornadoes are also a possibility. Here is some initial timing as to when severe weather is expected: Bradford from 5-6 pm, Coudersport, Johnstown, and Somerset County from 6-7 pm, Wellsboro, Lock Haven, State College, and Altoona from 7-8 pm, Williamsport, Sunbury, Lewistown, and Carlisle from 730-830 pm, and Laporte, Bloomsburg, Shamokin, Harrisburg, and Lancaster from 8-930 pm. Please stay tuned for the latest weather updates, including the likely issuances of watches and warnings later today. Lastly, the Laurel's/Alleghenies will be seeing their first flakes of the season late tonight/early tomorrow morning with the remaining moisture behind the front. This may also include the immediate central areas off the Laurel's (UNV/AOO region). Any accums should be little to none, but some of the highest Laurel's areas could get a coating.

Yeah, tonight looks like it'll wipe out a lot of the remaining foliage. It turned really pretty around here this week so sadly we'll miss a few more days (very late color this year, but I didn't expect much so it was a nice surprise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 FROPA came through here with torrential rain but very little wind. Stable boundary layer stayed pretty firm here as it usually does in these type of situations. Probably will be another couple hours before things finally get mixed out post front and the winds ramp up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like down in Franklin County they have gusts up to 70, headed pretty much right at harrisburg. And moving at 50 mph. Like I says upthread, this is very similar to a Texas March setup.
