The NWS in Pittsburgh confirmed an EF0 tornado about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh Wednesday night. EF0 tornadoes have maximum wind speeds between 65-85 MPH. The storms last night resulted in wind damage and thousands of power outages.
A weak 2.4 magnitude earthquake was reported along the Kentucky/Ohio border this morning about 40 miles southeast of Cincinatti. Earthquakes less than 2.5 magnitude are usually not felt, but can be recorded by seismograph.
The weather in Youngstown yesterday was similar to what would be expected in Orlando, Florida. Temperatures were around 25 degrees above average for the high and low. Anyone feeling a trip to Disney?
Yesterday's high temperature of 78 degrees in Youngstown was the warmest ever recorded on a presidential election day in recorded history. The high temperature was just shy of the daily record high of 79 degrees set in 2022.
The NWS has highlighted most of the Valley for an elevated risk of wildfire spread Monday afternoon. The combination of warm temperatures, dry conditions, and gusty winds could result in brush fires. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Call 911 if you observe a fire today.
This Halloween will likely be the warmest Halloween in over 50 years. The forecast high temperature is 77 which would be the second warmest Halloween of all time. The warmest Halloween ever was in 1933 when the temperature reached 78 degrees.
Many of you turned on the heater for the first time last week, but this week you might flip the air conditioner back on. Temperatures early this week will be near record highs today and on Tuesday as temperatures rise into the upper 70s!
A freeze warning is in effect for the entire Valley except Columbiana County until 9 a.m. Friday morning. Temperatures will likely drop below freezing in many locations for the first time this fall. If you still have any plants outside plan accordingly.
It's not snow, but it is a type of frozen precipitation falling in Grove City called graupel. What is it? Graupel is formed with supercooled (water at temps below freezing) collects on snowflakes. It is sometimes called "soft hail". Many of you are seeing this today.
The NWS in Pittsburgh has upgraded Lawrence and Mercer counties to a freeze warning for tonight.
A frost advisory hass been issued for tonight across the entire Valley. Temperatures will dip down into the mid 30s across the Valley tonight and some low 30s will be possible in isolated locations. If you have mums out, then take those inside to keep them from the frost.
Hurricane Milton is currently a category 4 hurricane off the west coast of Florida. It is forecast to make landfall late Wednesday night and into early Thursday morning as an "extremely dangerous major hurricane" according to the National Hurricane Center.
Did the rainfall last week help with drought conditions? Absolutely! Youngstown went from a 'severe' drought to abnormally dry. Technically there are still parts of Mahoning and Columbiana counties that are in a 'moderate' drought, but the rain helped.
The rainfall over the past 10 days has helped immensely with drought conditions. Most locations in the Valley now have a rainfall deficit that is less than 1".
Despite the fact that the Valley spent much of September with drought conditions, the Valley ended the month of September with above average rainfall. 7 out of the last 10 days in the month of September featured measureable rainfall.
There are numerous counties in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina where most customers are without power. Anywhere that you see purple on the map is a county where 80% or more of the customers have lost power.
There are currently nearly 4 million customers without power due to Hurricane Helene. The heavy rain and storng winds continue to affect the southern Appalachians this morning.
Despite the rainfall this week, the latest drought monitor has placed Youngstown in a 'severe' drought. Thankfully, chances of rainfall will be abundant over the next week which should reduce drought conditions by next week's update.
Helene is now a hurricane with sustained winds of 80 MPH as of 11 a.m. It is forecast to strengthen into a category 3 hurricane and make landfall along the Florida panhandle Thursday evening.
Helene is forecast to intensity into a major hurricane by Thursday and make landfall along the panhandle of Florida by Thursday evening.
