A tornado watch is in effect for our area until 5pm this evening.

I will be honest, I did not think severe weather parameters warrant a tornado watch, but it is better to be safe than sorry. The cold front is still in central PA, so there is still some time before it gets here.

I think the strength of the low level jet and the sun appearing this morning is what prompted the watch....but I'm with you, I think it will not be too severe, but gusty winds and heavy rain for sure.....

Look at temperature differences behind and ahead of the cold front. Almost 20+ degree difference

12z NAM begins popping t-storm cells before the main line gets here...and those could be the ones SPC is concerned about in terms of tornadoes. These cells begin to develop around noon time.

Not to mention we can get some pretty gusty winds out ahead of the front today. And especially during the main event. I think we can exalt see some 50+ gusts in stronger sections of the front with the strong LLJ today.

Had a really good downpour and gusty winds here at 3:20 just as school was letting out, got .25" of rain, trees down and power lines on fire in Emerson, the next town over, is on Channel 7.

Yea, winds were pretty bad. Have not seen gusts like today in quite awhile. But I do not think there were any tornado reports.

Today was kind of demoralizing. Nothing impressive other than some winds. Rain was not heavy, no tornadoes, no hai, I did not even hear thunder.

Line definitely fell through at the last minute.
I thought due to sun I would have a more unstable atmosphere and a better chance for some stronger storms. But I just had rain, and a little more rain. With little or no wind.

Blustery and getting dark in the west here.
Got to sign off for the night, I can't post from my IPAD at home. Our PC is shot so we only have IPHONES and an IPAD in our house. So I'll post tomorrow am if we get any drama. Although somehow I doubt the severe weather will make it this far.
