🌩️ STRUCTURE. STRENGTH. IMPACT. 🌩️

📍 Frizzleburg, PA | July 7, 2025 – 7:53 PM

🛰️ Radar + Real-Life Views from the Ground

1️⃣ First Photo:
This towering cumulonimbus cloud is the storm building up just west of Frizzleburg. The storm from that Photo was 5 miles away! Notice the bright white tops? That’s strong vertical development, a sign the storm is rapidly growing and likely intensifying. These clouds are the birthplace of severe weather including hail, damaging winds, and even rotation.

2️⃣ Second Photo:
Radar reflectivity shows a solid wall of reds and even a dark purple core (just north of Pulaski/West Middlesex). That purple shading represents very high reflectivity, often associated with hail or extremely heavy rainfall. Storms like this can produce localized damage in a hurry.

3️⃣ Third Photo:
This was taken moments before the core moved in. What you're seeing is the leading edge of the hail shaft or core. The contrast in color (even with some filtered sunlight) hints at hail within the core, which matched what radar was picking up as that deep purple signature.

🔍 Why it matters:
Seeing a storm like this evolve, from towering structure to radar confirmation to on-the-ground impact is a reminder of how dynamic and fast-changing severe weather can be.

⚠️ EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OUTLOOK – MONDAY, JULY 7, 2025

Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center

🌧️ SLIGHT RISK of Flash Flooding Today across:

🔹 South-Central Texas (Hill Country) –
Another round of slow-moving storms may bring 2–3+ inches of rain to already flooded areas. Flash flooding is likely in spots still recovering from recent deluges.

🔹 Mid-Atlantic (VA to NJ/PA) –
Tropical Depression Chantal is moving out quickly, but not before dumping heavy rain across southeastern Virginia, Delmarva, New Jersey, and eastern PA. Urban and poor drainage areas are at greatest risk for flooding during the first half of the day.

🔹 Upper Ohio Valley to Central New York –
Training thunderstorms and saturated soils could lead to flash flooding in eastern Ohio, western PA, and up into central NY. Watch for heavy rain through this evening.

🔸 Other Areas to Watch:

Northern Plains & Midwest (SD, NE, MN, IA, MO): Fast-moving storms could produce isolated flash flooding.

Southwest/High Plains (NM, AZ): Localized flooding is possible near burn scars and mountainous terrain.

💧 Stay weather-aware, especially in flood-prone or recently impacted regions.

Never drive through flooded roads. Turn around, don’t drown.
