Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio – Residents of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio should brace for the possibility of severe thunderstorms on Sunday. The National Weather Service warns of storms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., as a strong cold front sweeps across the region.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, the storms will intensify along the frontal boundary, driven by afternoon heating. A delay in the cold front’s arrival could lower the chances of severe weather, but the forecast indicates a Level 1 (marginal risk) for severe storms. This includes the potential for isolated tornadoes, damaging wind gusts exceeding 60 mph, and large hail.
Residents are urged to monitor local weather updates and activate severe weather alerts on their devices. The National Weather Service stresses the importance of preparing for sudden changes in weather, particularly during the late afternoon and early evening hours.
As the cold front approaches, localized tornadoes remain a concern, and residents should have a plan to seek shelter if needed. For more detailed forecasts and safety tips, visit the National Weather Service’s website and stay tuned for further updates.
