Strong to Severe Storms Expected in South-Central Pennsylvania Severe thunderstorms are developing in south-central Pennsylvania, with the National Weather Service issuing alerts for parts of the Susquehanna Valley. Storms are expected to move through the area tonight, weakening by midnight. Lingering morning showers are anticipated for the start of Monday, with clearing skies expected by Monday afternoon. The storm system is driven by a cold front moving into the region, leading to scattered thunderstorms primarily north of the PA Turnpike after 6 p.m. Some storms could reach strong to severe levels, bringing damaging wind gusts and large hail. While the threat of a weak, brief tornado is very low, residents should remain cautious. Storm activity will shift south of the PA Turnpike after 9 p.m., with scattered strong storms and heavy rain continuing until midnight. Overnight, moderate to heavy rain is expected as the cold front progresses, with total rainfall ranging from 0.25 inches to nearly 1 inch. Ponding on roads is a potential hazard, though flash flooding is not anticipated. Monday morning will see the last of the showers in southeastern counties around sunrise. Winds will increase to 15-25 mph from the northwest, with gusts up to 35 mph. Temperatures will drop to the low-to-mid 40s in the morning, then rebound to near 50 degrees by afternoon. Tuesday will bring mostly sunny conditions with highs near 50 degrees, followed by partly sunny skies and seasonable highs in the mid-50s on Wednesday. Thursday will be warmer, near 60 degrees, with a chance of showers late in the day as another cold front approaches. Showers are expected to linger into Friday morning, followed by breezy and cooler conditions through the end of the week. Friday’s highs will fall to the low 50s, with upper 40s anticipated Saturday.#national_weather_service #cold_front #susquehanna_valley #pa_turnpike
