TUESDAY AM STORMS: VIEWER PICTURES & LIVE EYE VIDEO
Patty in Harborcreek caught a great picture of the storms that developed this morning. She is in Harborcreek, where the storms approached the "severe" limits (winds greater than 60mph & 3/4" hail). It is quite an impressive picture. Our...
MONDAY NIGHT STORM CLOUDS: VIEWER PICTURES
Just before the storms rolled in, last night, the Casells snapped pictures of these clouds. The sunbeams that you see shining here are (warning: here comes a "weather nerd" word) crepuscular rays. Sheri and Will in East Springfield sent...
BROKEN RECORD
Yesterday, June 9th, we broke the record, as our temperatures soared into the mid-90's! This record breaking heat is a thing of the past, though. Expect cooler temperatures into the next couple of days. Ray Petelin, WSEE Storm Team...
VIEWER PICTURES: VENANGO STORM
Last night (6/08/08), a line of severe thunderstorms developed inland. For the most part, these storms were classified as severe because of their winds that were in excess of 58 miles per hour. As this line moved into Venango County,...
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE
Despite the sunshine to start the day off, some bumpy weather is looming for this evening, and this will probably last into tomorrow morning. We have the ingredients for severe thunderstorms to develop in our area during this time...
BELOW AVERAGE
We have been in the midst of cooler weather for quite some time. Actually, over the past 10 days, our temperatures have been at, or below average. Mostly below. Only six days this month have been considered "warm". It looks...
SET UP FOR A SOGGY SATURDAY
You hate to forecast this on a big weekend, like the one about to occur in Northwest Pennsylvania, but you have to take what Mother Nature sends your way. A disturbance dropping in from the north will start spreading rain...
COOL SNAP
Chilly temperatures will be with us at least through the weeekend, and realisticly until the end of next week. This, as the jet stream, the divider between warm and cold air, migrates back to the south, allowing cold air...
MAY SHOWERS
Last month, we were over an inch below average, when it comes to precipitation (both rain and melted snow). It was dry, but pleasant for April, but now it looks as if we have been making up for that...
CATCHING UP
I am sorry for not blogging as much as usual last week. It was kind of hectic. I was worrying over my first ever stand up comedy act that I performed Thursday Night at Jr's Last Laugh. It was part...
SOGGY AND STORMY
Thunderstorms will develop today, as we are currently in the midst of a warmer, more humid airmass. A cold front moving in from the west will trigger these thunderstorms. While nothing is expected to become severe, these storms may...
FROST TONIGHT?
Coming off of an impressive streak of warm weather, it is hard to believe that we may see some areas of patchy frost tonight. With this being the case, I just wanted to pass along a little inside information when...
A SOGGY START
While rain and fog may not be the ideal way to start the work week off, keep in mind that we have been running a little dry through much of the month. An inch and a half below average,...
STORMY START TO THE WEEKEND
The Spring showers that have been neglecting the region are finally on the way. With them, we also have the potential for thunderstorms. Warmer air lifting into the region, today, will bring areas of rain, and possible thunderstorms to the...
APRIL SHOWERS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, SO FAR
While we did manage to pick up .06" of rain yesterday with the weak cold front that breezed through the area, it was not enough to put a dent in the rain deficit that we have been buiding during the...
SPRING IN FULL BLOOM
With temperatures above average for a full straight week, and six of the last seven days hitting 70 degrees or better, it is starting to look like spring all around the region. The daffodils are springing up out of the...
VERY HIGH UV LEVELS
As the sun continues to shine today, just a quick reminder that you can get a sunburn, even in mid-April. I can personally attest to this. Ray Petelin, WSEE Storm Team Meteorologist...
LAKE SHADOWS
An interesting thing that occurs near larger lakes is the "lake shadow". This is not really a shadow, rather a lack of clouds near the lake while away from the lake, fair weather clouds develop. You can see this on...
APRIL SNOW
Sunday morning, many looked out the window to seen some snow flakes mixing between rain drops. Not the sight we like to see coming off of some warmer weather a few days ago. Above is an image from Storm...
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY
It appears as our first round of severe, spring weather could develop tomorrow. Here is the set-up. A very warm and humid airmass will bring temperatures on Friday into the lower 70's. The cold portion of this storm system will...
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
A cold front moving through the area will be responsible for stirring up some thunderstorms today. The storms should wrap up later this afternoon, however our temperatures will suffer. Expect them to drop into the 50's this afternoon, with overnight...
IT'S BEEN A WHILE
Yesterday's 68 degrees was the highest temperature we have seen in quite some time. To be exact, yesterday was the the warmest day since October 22nd! That day we hit 80 degrees. My family and I went for a walk,...
LAKE ERIE OPENING UP
Since the start of our current warm spell, the bay has thawed, and the ice on Lake Erie continues to melt away. Here is a satellite image of the eastern portions of the lake ice from Sunday, April 6th. The...
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES
After seeing temperatures in the mid 60's yesterday, it is kind of shocking to step outside this morning. As of 7am, we are 31 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. We will see kind of a trade off, though. While...
THE APRIL FOOL
For this first day of April, A.K.A. "April Fool's Day", it looks like the weather is going to try to play us as fools. Good thing you have the Storm Team ready to foil this evil plan. Temperatures for Erie,...
SPRING THOUGHTS
First of all, let me wish you a Happy First Day Of Spring! It began at 1:48 this morning. Even though this year Spring is going to begin on a cold note with a little snow, I thought I...
VERNAL EQUINOX
Ahhh, Spring is finally in the air! We are about to experience the Vernal, or Spring Equinox. This is the time when the sun makes its transition from South of the Equator into the Northern Hemisphere. The exact time of...
VIEWER QUESTION: HOW COME THERE IS NOT "EQUAL DAY AND NIGHT" ON THE EQUINOX?
This is a great question since equinox means "equal night". However, if you look at the sunrise and sunset times for our first day of Spring (March 20th), you will see that the sun rises at 7:23am and sets at...
SPRING FEVER
While we are on the brink of one of the snowiest season on record, the on thing we cannot deny is that spring is on the way. In honor of that, the Storm Team is helping you count down! Spring...
