Enhanced Risk outlines parts of Pennsylvania

ALTOONA, PA. (WTAJ) — A passing shower did not really disrupt much of our Saturday, but more widespread and active weather is on it’s way for Sunday.

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded our region to an Enhanced Risk for severe weather, which is a three out of five on the severe weather scale.

Primary concerns at the moment tend to be damaging winds and downpours that could lead to ponding water on the roadways.

A favorable environment is in place that a stray tornado could form. The threat for this to occur is low, but not zero. One of which I am taking seriously.

We are watching the developments of a cold front that will be working into the region late Sunday morning through the afternoon.

The leading edge is set to move into our western counties late this morning and into the afternoon.

This will also bring an increase in winds as the front passes. Wind gusts for the day could approach 40+mph.

A steady, soaking rain event is in the works as well.

Ranges from a half inch to an inch is the trend.

How about temperatures?

Rounding off the weather discussion this evening, let’s talk about temps.

Moving forward, we will see an up and down pattern with 40s, 50s, and 60s all possible.
