The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Ah, Mike. You just couldn't step away from your coverage! Good man. I figured the only thing that MIGHT pull you away at this hour would be a nice Italian dinner, but you're a true weather man to the core. Appreciate your coverage and hope you'll pop in to Stormtrack more often to chime in on the forecast thread.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. The violent storms were getting into an area where there is sparse TV coverage, so I felt I should.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about an Italian dinner but not tonight!
