Most of the storms across CTP were already going when our shift started, so Shasta and I had to play catch up. We found using the ProbSevere model was the easiest to help discern which storms were the strongest and where we should focus our attention.

The first storm we warned was across Northumberland and Schuylkill Cos and we warned it for hail and wind. We did have a report of the storm previously producing a funnel cloud.

ProbSevere first went above 50% at 1756z (56%) with the funnel cloud reported at 1805z near Selinsgrove.
