Appalachia is poor. It's isolated. It's remote. Its people know hard times. They know starvation. They know hopelessness.

These things are all true. But this Appalachia is our Appalachia. It's beautiful to us, and we will serve it to the end! 😍

HOW THIS ....... PRODUCED NOT MUCH... IS 🤯
Really shocked how the forecast played out last night. You couldn't get a more pronounced negative tilt and wind shear. One tornado warning down over the DC area but beyond that nothing. I was surprised it wasn't a bit more pronounced in rain/wind.

[Max Velocity @MaxVelocityWX]

32 MILLION PEOPLE are under a low-end tornado threat overnight across the Northeast, including New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia.

Make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings, as a couple of brief tornadoes are possible.

[Sam Brandt @sambrandt99]

I took pressure measurements as a narrow cold frontal rain band passed through State College this evening. A perturbation pressure of 1.75 mb is quite respectable, and it's cool to see the suppression of (presumably mostly mechanical) turbulence after the frontal passage.

[Allegheny Stormfront @MountainWX]

@ReedTimmerUSA Lore accurate.

[Allegheny Stormfront @MountainWX]

@JoshGriffithWX Sounds like it finally dipped below 85 down there 🤭

@SokolZishe2233 @PezexWx @KeystonePRIME We know

[Allegheny Stormfront @MountainWX]

Light analysis from PIT-

-Hodograph- arc'd as it should be.
-SbCAPE in the 200's-300's. Just where it was 4 years ago.
-A mild cap sits at 800 mb up.
-Wind direction- again SE'ly at surface and W'ly in the mid-upper levels
-Dew points are only *just* reaching the upper 50's

@KeystonePRIME Truly.

Better for me- wasn't able to get out into it this time.

@BGatesIsaPyscho When you look up "ragebait" for its definition, this post is what you find.

Maybenado in Greene County PA?

[Connor Sipe @PAweatherPhoto]

Caught some very suspicious cloud tags with strong vertical motion off the ground as this small kink in the squall and weak vorticity couplet came toward me in Mercer County PA a few minutes ago, some video screenshots here

@hugetulip If it pokes, it eats.

[NWS Pittsburgh @NWSPittsburgh]

Gust to 44 MPH reported at Zanesville at 1232 PM associated with the main line of showers. Similar gusts can be expected as the line moves east over the next few hours.

[Allegheny Stormfront @MountainWX]

@SokolZishe2233 Some.

[Allegheny Stormfront @MountainWX]

A wind advisory has been issued for highland areas of east-central WV.

Expect severe loss of fall foliage, especially on western slopes of mountains.

[Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @CC_StormWatch]

The NWS/NOAA meteorologists putting out the #tornado warnings and #severe warnings tonight - are doing so WITHOUT PAY. They don't know when their next paycheck will be. But they have to keep working to protect lives and property.
