** SEVERE WEATHER RISK UPDATE **

Here is a quick update regarding the severe weather risk this afternoon and evening. After analyzing the current trends and current storm complexes, I decided to make some changes to where there could be a better risk of damaging storms.

'BEST' TIMING: 3pm-11pm (earlier the farther west you are located)

ZONE 3 HATCHED (black line overlays)- Watching for a severe squall line to move through this region between 4-8pm. Wind gusts within this line of storms have been over 65mph in portions of Indiana and Ohio, and further strengthening is expected. Expect the risk for wind gusts of 65-75+ mph as this line moves through this evening. With these strong wind gust,s tree damage and power outages will be expected. A spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out but the greatest risk will be damaging wind gusts.

ZONE 3 NON-HATCHED - Watching for *NUMEROUS* strong to severe thunderstorms. Supercells and high wind bowing segments will be possible. Within these storms, there may be the risk for damaging wind gusts, large hail (up to quarter-sized in the most severe cells,) and low risk of a tornado.

ZONE 2 - Watching for *SCATTERED* strong to severe thunderstorms. Supercells and high wind bowing segments will be possible. These storms may produce damaging wind gusts, hail, and a very low risk of a tornado. Non-severe thunderstorms may still produce gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall.

ZONE 1- Watching for *ISOLATED* strong to severe thunderstorms. These storms may produce damaging wind gusts. Non-severe thunderstorms may still produce gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall.

Stay tuned for weather updates and remain weather aware this evening!

** WINTER STORM SNOWFALL MAP THIRD CALL **

Posted: 1/4/2025 at 4pm. Check back for more updated informaiton.

Timing: Late Sunday Night (after 11pm) through Monday night (10pm)

Confidence: MEDIUM/HIGH

Our much-talked winter storm will be arriving in the state late Sunday night and linger throughout the day on Monday. The overall trend has been toward a more northerly and amplified track with high-resolution guidance, which is what I am shifting my weight to in my newest forecast despite the southern trends on other global model guidance.

Significant impacts are expected across much of southern Pennsylvania where there is an increasing risk for 6" or more inches of snowfall. Minor to moderate impacts will stay at I-80 and southward. Travel plans on Monday should be put at a halt, with snow-covered roadways and interstates likely expected.

** HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES OF 1"+/HR WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA MONDAY MORNING WHICH WILL LEAD TO VERY ROUGH TRAVEL CONDITIONS **

There are still some uncertainties with the storm. Wobbles in the track and intensity of the storm could still shift the snowfall amounts 15-30 miles in either direction. It is possible my snowfall amounts may still be too low or too high for some areas, but I will continue to track the recent model guidance throughout the day with another snowfall map update by this evening.

If you are planning to travel, especially Monday morning and Monday afternoon, be on alert for snow-covered roadways and interstates, especially close to the PA/MD/WV borders.

Stay tuned and reach out with any questions/concerns!

Watch out for potential road hazard ⚠️

** MID-WEEK STORM CHAOS **

After a rather meager pattern with weak frontal passages and storm systems, we will have a changing pattern this upcoming week! A strong low pressure system will move into the Great Lakes region, bringing with it a surge of all types of precipitation and winds.

All precipitation will begin as rain for all regions, with air temperatures as high as 50-60degF ahead of the storm. Expect potentially gusty winds of 30-40 mph with the approaching system late Wednesday evening through the overnight hours.

As we head into late Wednesday night through Thursday morning, this system will begin to rapidly depend and potentially 'bomb out' (drop 24mb or more in 24 hours or less) , wrapping cold air on the south side of the cyclone. Whenever this happens, those south of the low pressure system could change to a period of accumulating wet snow. The location of where this occurs is still highly uncertain, but it could occur somewhere between Indiana and Pennsylvania.

To make the process more complicated, a secondary low-pressure system could develop along the temperature gradient (baroclinic zone) along the Eastern Seaboard, which could also allow for a greater amount of cold air to mix into the system.

Eventually, as this system weakens and lingers around, lake effect snow and upslope-induced snow (higher elevations) will become the greatest concern and some areas could see snow linger into the weekend.

Key Takeaways and Questions:

- Rain begins late Wednesday as the system moves in.
- Low pressure could 'bomb out' late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The location of where this occurs is highly uncertain, although those to the south of this location could see a period of accumulating snowfall.
- Does a secondary low pressure form and draw colder air into Pennsylvania, which could also allow for more snow?
- Gusty winds of 30-40+ mph are expected throughout the day on Thursday.
- Lake effect and elevation snow possibly continues through Friday and into next weekend.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW:

Nothing in particular, but continue to stay tuned to updates as we progress throughout the week! This will likely not be a complete doorbuster rain or snow storm, but a deepening low pressure system will make for a fun forecast this week. Stay tuned and feel free to reach out with questions and/or concerns!
