The week of March 26-30, 2012 has been designated as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Pennsylvania. The goal is to raise awareness of the hazards severe weather poses to the public and provide safety information in an effort to keep you and your family safe. Each day this week, different hazards are highlighted and safety tips are provided. Tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flooding – both river and flash are discussed. This is brought to the residents of Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), County Emergency Management Officers and the National Weather Service (NWS). Please check back each day this week for the weather event du jour!

Just one day after tornadoes ripped through portions of Kentucky and Indiana, the National Weather Service located in Louisville, KY has already surveyed damage and put together preliminary tornado reports. The preliminary results show EF-2, EF-3, and EF-4 tornado damage in southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. Tornado producing supercell storms, tracking over the same areas in some spots, are making the final assessment difficult. Here's a link with the latest on the cleanup efforts:

During the winter months, the National Weather Service (NWS) puts together an outlook assessing the risk of possible flooding across the Twin Tiers. These outlooks may often go unnoticed by the public, but on the heels of the worst flooding the Twin Tiers has seen in many, many years, I want to draw attention to this product.
It is released about every two weeks and covers two weeks into the future. The NWS stresses this outlook does not attempt to address the severity of any possible flooding. It assesses a list of current hydrologic conditions that contribute to flooding and takes into account future forecasts on the potential of flooding. It DOES NOT address the potential of Flash Flooding.
