Daily News | Severe storms possible in Philly late Saturday, with a slight chance of a tornado
This won’t be a repeat of the April 1 mayhem, forecasters say, but strong storms are possible in the Philly region later Saturday afternoon and evening, with an outside chance of a tornado.already has been posted for all of Delaware and most of Maryland until 6 p.m., and the National Weather Service in Mount Holly says it might be expanded northward later.
With the atmosphere showing some potential for volatility, ”it’s tough to completely rule out some tornado risk,” said Alex Dodd, a lead meteorologist at the Mount Holly office., when nine verified tornadoes touched down in the office’s coverage area, which extends from Delaware to northern New Jersey.“There isn’t quite the degree of instability,” he said. The primary threat would be strong, straight-line winds.
The storm threat is associated with the approach of a strong cold front on what could well be the last truly warm day of a very warm month. Temperatures aren’t expected to get out of the 60s for the next several days, with chilly morning lows in the 40s and perhaps getting into the 30s away from the city.
In fact, said Dodd, the pattern would be quite favorable to cold and snow if this were January, however, in late April it may do little more than put a temporary kibosh on outdoor dining. For the record, the latest measurable snow occurred in Philadelphia on April 27, 1967, all of 0.1 inches.
