🌪 Its Twistmas Eve! 🎄

Frostquakes are possible this weekend as temperatures quickly drop into the single digits to below 0! Recent thawing has allowed for surface water to enter the soil! Rapidly dropping temperatures may cause this water to quickly freeze and expand!

What is a frostquake? A frostquake or Cryoseism occurs when water in the soil rapidly freezes and expands as the top soil horiozons freeze. This rapid expansion causes the ground to crack or pop usually near the surface. This can sound like loud pops/booms & can even briefly shake the ground. Frost quakes (Cryoseisms) typically don't cause any damage nor are they related to seismic activity, but they can rattle windows.

“Did you hear there’s snow in the forecast?”

Got some gusty winds heading our way in Western PA!

Got a line of Special Westher Statemen's saying we can potentially receive wind gusts up to 40MPH. If you have Halloween decorations out, be sure you tighten them down or bring them inside or it'll be in your neighbors yards!

Estimated ETA for the OH/PA line is about 1½ hours

🌅 Tonight’s Sky in Western PA 🌅

Did you catch the fiery colors lighting up the horizon this evening?

Those brilliant streaks of orange and red aren’t just a pretty sunset, they’re a direct connection to Tropical Storm Imelda spinning hundreds of miles to our south.

The high clouds you see are the outer outflow shield from Imelda, stretching all the way into Pennsylvania. Tropical systems often vent moisture high into the atmosphere, and when the sun sets, that moisture scatters the light and creates unforgettable skies like these.

Even from far away, a tropical system can leave its fingerprint on our skies. 🌎⚡️

🌪️ Tropical systems dancing in the Atlantic! 🌪️

Two tropical systems are currently interacting with the Fujiwhara effect, a phenomenon where two cyclones rotate around each other.

🔹 Hurricane (to the right/east) will soon pull future Tropical Storm out to sea. Sparing the Florida and Carolina coasts the once forecasted direct landfall.

An incredible meteorological dance, and a big relief for the Southeast!

🚨 Tropical Storm Imelda – Key Update (5 PM EDT, Sep 28) 🚨

Imelda is expected to strengthen as it moves near the Bahamas through Monday. Here are the key points you need to know:

1️⃣ Tropical Storm Conditions – Central & Northwestern Bahamas will see strong winds and heavy rain into Monday.

2️⃣ Flooding Threat – Torrential rainfall will bring flash and urban flooding to the Bahamas and eastern Cuba through Tuesday. Mudslides are possible in higher terrain. Coastal Carolinas could also see isolated flash, urban, and river flooding.

3️⃣ U.S. Wind Risk – The risk for significant wind impacts along the Southeast U.S. coast is decreasing, but residents should stay alert for updates.

4️⃣ Marine Hazards – Dangerous swells, high surf, and rip currents will impact Florida and Georgia coasts through Monday, spreading north along the East Coast early this week.

⚠️ Bahamas remain at risk for damaging winds and flooding.
East Coast U.S. faces dangerous rip currents and high surf.

🚨 STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED 🚨

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has issued a State of Emergency ahead of Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine — expected to strengthen into Hurricane Imelda in the coming days.

⚠️ The storm is forecast to bring heavy rainfall, dangerous flooding, and strong winds across the state and much of the Southeast.

Residents are urged to prepare now, pay close attention to forecasts, and follow guidance from local officials.

🌀 Future Hurricane Imelda prompts State of Emergency along the Southeast coast 🌀

Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect, and at least one state has already issued a pre-emptive state of emergency as a developing storm system edges closer to becoming Hurricane Imelda. The system is expected to bring days of heavy rain, flooding, and gusty winds to portions of the Southeast.

What began as Invest 94L was upgraded Friday to Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, giving the National Hurricane Center the ability to begin issuing alerts ahead of impacts. This designation is used when a storm is likely to threaten land but has not yet fully developed into a named tropical storm.

The exact track and strength of PTC Nine remain uncertain, but multiple scenarios are on the table over the coming days. Regardless, residents in the path should prepare now for prolonged flooding and hazardous conditions.

⚠️ Stay alert, and follow local officials and the National Weather Service for updates.
