canderson Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 26 minutes ago, MAG5035 said: Probably a good thing for us it's early in the spring (and not having diurnal heating given time of the day) because a lot of these same dynamics driving the impending PDS situation in the deep south ride up through PA overnight into tomorrow morning. The NAM actually does briefly inject higher surface dewpoints, high helicity, and some CAPE (mainly 500-800) into eastern PA around daybreak but dry air aloft is already punched in at 700mb and most of the scattered showers/possible storms are lifted north. Seeing this type of a dynamic situation in say, May would likely be a much different story. At any rate, the wind situation looks to be a pretty significant deal tomorrow with most of the area easily seeing wind advisory criteria. Guess I'm the lucky one that get's the high wind warning in this situation. I don't often see a high wind warning actually verify here but this is looking like that once in a few years time that it actually does as I'm co-located nearest the best dynamics plus the immediate downslope off the Allegheny Front with the westerly winds. The Euro was through the roof (or blowing the roof away) with wind gusts around here in today's run. 18z 3k NAM coming in isn't quite that nuts but it's close. The headlines are from 10-6, think the wind dies down before then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, I think the timeframe looks pretty solid. Gusty winds are going to linger into the evening tomorrow but It does appear that late morning-mid afternoon period might be the time of highest gusts.

I know it was scattered but for some last years drought was moderate to major. Yes, you definitely had it worse than we did here in York! Here's hoping we see enough rain this spring/summer to rectify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Sounds like at least 5 dead in Alabama today - really hope that isn't any (or many) more than that. Still violent weather ongoing across the mid-south down into Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand loving cold and snow, but Easter is a time for spring flowers and sun dresses and such. Not parkas and long underwear... For me, I think it’s pretty straightforward. An Easter that was cold and snowy is a lot more memorable than an Easter that was 64 and sunny. Also, I wouldn’t refer to any April temperature that is within the realm of possibility in PA as “frigid.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t alive, though I do remember the April 2002 heatwave, which is one of the other standard-bearers for mid-April heat in PA and surrounding areas (though this wasn’t on Easter).
