Just one week after record cold and snow at Penn State and even the Baltimore suburbs, the threat of severe weather may erupt along the east coast. This is part of a strong storm that already brought snow to Denver, flooding rain to Fort Worth and Houston Texas, even tornadoes to parts of Louisiana. This is in part to due the remains of once powerful Hurricane Rick, which had winds of 180 mph last week, then hit Mexico's Pacific coast as a tropical storm. I had shown how some of this energy would get pulled into this storm and increase it's energy. The result today will be the final push as it winds up and moves into Canada.
The surge of warm air has averaged 15-25 mph and kept overnight and morning temperatures in the 60s. The cold front to the west will act to trigger this unstable environment and produce some thunderstorms. The risk of damaging wind over 60 mph in some storms will be the biggest threat. Because of the strong wind sheer, or change in direction with height, there is a small risk of some rotation and an isolated tornado. For the record, this has been one of the most quiet severe weather years this decade. We began tracking this during the summer. Even after the multiple tornadoes that hit Maryland in June. See more images in the slide show below. The forecast maps show the storm will move out quickly and leave for a breezy, but dry Sunday in the Eastern US.
