It's looking like a stormy start to Memorial Day weekend with the threat of severe storms and potential flooding in our region Friday afternoon. katebilo reports
The system responsible for these storms is over the Mississippi Valley Wednesday night, where it has produced a few severe storms. The system will lift through the region on Friday, ushering in an antecedent south wind.This warmer flow will destabilize the atmosphere ahead of a line of storms that will progress through central Pennsylvania during the midday hours and reach our area by mid to late afternoon.The timing of the line of storms looks to be between 3 and 6 p.m.
The storms appear to be widely scattered, however, any one of these cells or clusters of cells has the potential to produce damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph. The storms also appear to be rather slow-moving, leading to the risk of flooding in areas that sit under a period of heavy rainfall.4 People On Way To Prom Party Injured In West Philadelphia Quadruple Shooting, Police Say
