Lancaster County under a severe t-storm watch

Lancaster County has been placed under a severe thunderstorm watch until 8:00 p.m.

This is very strange as the Local WFO State college has been extending the weather watch well to the east of the original watch box issued by the Storm Prediction Center. I am not sure why the SPC did not issue a new watch box. It can be confusing and misleading.

T-storms should arrive in Lancaster County between 6 and 7:30 p.m. and then move into the rest of the Lehigh Valley and Eastern Pennsylvania between 8:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., and into the rest of the area after 9:30 p.m. Thunderstorms could lose their intensity as the sun sets, however very unstable air is existing ahead of this cold front as highs today reached well into the nineties. I would suspect at least isolated damaging winds and marginally severe hail even late tonight.

Thus far, this line has had a history of wind damage in Western Pennsylvania.

I am a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey. I also am the Assistant Skywarn Coordinator for Burlington County, New Jersey. An assistant Skywarn Coordinator works with spotters from all across the county in which you are responsible for and also coordinates with the head coordinator. There are several trained weather spotters throughout the FOX 29 viewing area. I was the weather anchor at Seneca High School, which is located in South Jersey, from February 2006 to June 2008. When I was the weather anchor, I interviewed several well known names to the weather world. Dr. Steve Lyons from The Weather Channel, Dean Gulezian who is the Eastern Director of NOAA, and Bill Proenza, former director of The National Hurricane Center. I also was a sideline, sports reporter for the Lenape District Television Channel from January 2007 to June 2008. I graduated from Seneca High School in June of 2008.
