The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) just issued a special discussion for our area. They state that there is a 60% chance of them issuing a severe thunderstorm watch for this afternoon and evening. Storms are organizing at this hour and intensifying well.
The main threat remains damaging winds. That threat has been increased by the SPC with their last update at 11:30. There is also now an increased risk for some storms to produce large hail.
The map below shows the discussion area that was just issued for us. As you can see, this front is getting active from here to New England.
Radar at this hour shows showers and storms developing across the region. Coverage and intensity is expected to increase through the afternoon and evening. Have multiple ways to get a warning, should one be issued. I circled Cumberland County on the map below.
