Overview
- The National Weather Service in State College issued successive Severe Thunderstorm Warnings Thursday evening for parts of Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties as storms moved east and southeast.
- Warnings cited radar‑indicated hazards of 60 mph wind gusts and about 1.00‑inch (quarter‑size) hail that could damage vehicles, roofs, siding and trees.
- A later warning noted radar rotation in a Dauphin County storm and said tornadoes can develop quickly, though no tornadoes had been confirmed in the latest updates.
- Authorities warned of very heavy rain with flash‑flood potential and specifically listed communities and interstate mile‑marker ranges, advising people to shelter indoors and avoid driving through flooded roadways.
- The alerts fit a pattern of late‑summer short‑lived severe storms in the region, and the NWS said it will continue near‑real‑time radar monitoring and issue updates as storms move or intensify.
