Heavy Tropical Rain & Thunder Continues Along Guld Coast
09/06/24 9:46am ET
Good morning everyone. Quiet weather is slowly pulling away from the Northeast as the area sits sandwiched between departing high pressure, subtropical low pressure to our southeast, a strong cold front approaching, and stubborn tropical moisture along the Gulf Coast.
With that cold front bumping into tropical moisture and very cool/dry air behind it, the stage is set for the possibility of some severe weather today and tomorrow. Today’s risk of severe weather is further back towards the Ohio River Valley, but could also extend into western New York and Pennsylvania. As of now, we’re watching a batch of heavy showers and storms entering Ohio and along the Lake Eerie shorelines.
These storms will eventually intensify as the day wears on, plus grow outward south and west into a broken line stretching from Kentucky, into West Virginia, Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and western New York. The primary threat with these storms will be damaging winds, but we could also see large hail, frequent lightning, torrential rain, and the risk of an isolated tornado. We also cannot rule out waterspouts possible across lake Eerie & Ontario.
