Impact Tuesday Declared for Susquehanna Valley as Scattered Storms Expected

A humid airmass and an overhead low will trigger multiple rounds of storms capable of heavy rain, damaging winds and localized flooding.

Overview

  • Local forecasters have declared an Impact Day for the Susquehanna Valley because scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast in several rounds through the day.
  • The primary hazards are heavy rainfall rates and damaging straight‑line wind gusts with isolated storm cells able to reach moderate severe risk levels.
  • The southeast portion of the valley is under a Slight risk while the remainder is under a Marginal risk for severe weather, according to the WGAL outlook.
  • Showers and isolated storms should linger into Wednesday as an upper‑level low weakens, with drier, more seasonable weather expected by Friday.
  • Wet soils from earlier July rains raise the chance of urban and flash flooding and travel disruption during slow‑moving or training storms, so residents should monitor watches and warnings.
