There is a high chance of strong to severe thunderstorms that can cause destructive winds and heavy rainfall throughout Central Pennsylvania on Tuesday and today due to the region’s unstable weather pattern.
Several rounds of thunderstorms are predicted by the National Weather Service for today and Tuesday, with the possibility of severe weather. Intense thunderstorm formation will be aided by a warm, humid atmosphere, especially this afternoon and evening. Because the storm risk is highest west of a line between Bloomsburg and Johnstown, residents should be ready for sudden changes in the weather.
Tuesday afternoon might see a spike in storm strength, with higher wind shear possibly fostering the formation of supercells. Large hail and destructive wind gusts might be produced by these storms, and as a cool front moves eastward, there’s a chance that the storms will group together into a more organized line.
A major pattern change is anticipated in the middle of the week. Temperatures in Harrisburg are predicted to reach a high of 90 degrees on Friday, marking the return of heat and humidity by the weekend.
In the event that thunderstorms develop quickly, residents are encouraged to remain weather-aware, have many ways to receive severe weather warnings, and be ready to take shelter.
