No active hail or wind alerts are posted in Pennsylvania right now, and the SPC mesoscale discussions do not place the main severe threat over PA. The strongest severe setup SPC highlights is focused well to the west and northwest, with corridors from the Upper Midwest into the central Plains and Ozarks where storms could produce 2+ inch hail, damaging wind gusts around 55–70 mph, and a couple of tornadoes; any PA impact would be indirect at this point rather than a direct severe threat.
Statewide maxima from SPC verified reports and NWS warnings, last 180 days. Tornado EF ratings are assigned by NWS survey teams after ground surveys and published in NOAA's final storm records.

How Pennsylvania compares nationally
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.
