Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 3:56 PM EDT, 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
356 PM EDT MON JUN 16 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA EARLY TONIGHT...
BRINGING AN END TO THE SEVERE STORMS. THIS FRONT WILL SIGNAL A
PATTERN CHANGE...AS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SETTLE OVER
THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS WILL RESULT IN BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
HEATING HAS RESULTED IN SCT/NMRS TSRA ACROSS THE NORTHERN
MTS...BUT THE CLOUDS AND RAIN IN THE SOUTH ARE KEEPING THAT AREA
SUPPRESED FOR NOW. EXPECT FURTHER DESTABILIZATION WITH THE STRONG
JUNE SUNSHINE. SVR WATCHES IN EFFECT INTO THIS EVENING. DROPPING
HEIGHTS/TEMPS ALOFT WILL HELP US TO REACH CAPES IN THE 1000-1500
J/KG RANGE.

SFC DEW POINTS KINDA LOW FOR SVR...AND CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH IN
WV/KY COULD ROB US OF A SIGNIFICANT INFLUX OF MSTR FROM THE
LL JET. HOWEVER...SINCE TROF IS DIGGING IN...AND A COLD FRONT WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THIS EVENING...WE STILL EXPECT THUNDER TO OCCUR
OVER MOST OF THE AREA. DEEP UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR VALUES AND THOSE
MOD CAPES PUT US IN A GOOD CHC OF SEVERE.

SVR THREAT WILL DIMINISH DURING BY EARLY EVENING IN THE NW AND THE
MID EVENING IN THE CENTRAL MTS AND PTS SE...AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH. IN THE WAKE OF FRONT...EXPECT PARTIAL CLEARING OVR MOST
OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND/EAST OF THE
ALLEGHENIES. THE MOISTURE MAY LINGER IN THE WESTERLY UPSLOPE OF
THE MTS...MUCH MORE LIKE A TYPICAL WINTER SCENARIO THAN JUNE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
EXPECT DRY SLOT TO GIVE US SOME SUN EARLY ON...BUT SHOWERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH LATER IN THE
DAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVE IN. TEMPS WILL STILL BE ON
THE MILD SIDE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN STALLED NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF THE COOL
CONDS. SOME CHC OF SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY WED AND THU. WAVE FCST
TO STAY SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY...BUT FRONT MOVING IN FOR
THE WEEKEND...AND ALSO MONDAY...SO WENT WITH 20 POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
INITIAL LINE OF HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY JUST NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80. THESE WILL SAG SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 22Z. ADDED TEMPO TSRA CONDITIONS AS CELLS DEVELOPING AREA
WIDE. ANOTHER AREA OF LIGHTER RAIN OVER SOUTHERN PA MAY LIMIT THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THAT AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL FOCUS ACTIVITY SO KEPT A SIMILAR
FORECAST FOR KMDT AS AIRFIELDS FARTHER TO THE NORTH.

ACTIVITY WILL WIND DOWN AFTER 01Z BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL KEEP
A SCATTERED LAYER IN OVERNIGHT. STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING A
FALL-LIKE DAY ON TUESDAY. A BKN040 LAYER WITH VCSH WILL BE THE
RULE. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GUST IN EXCESS OF 15 KTS DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

GENERALLY VFR CONDS ONCE AGAIN FOR WED/THU...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED
SHOWERS WILL BE AROUND EACH AFTN...ESP OVER THE MTS OF THE NORTH
AND WEST - WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS ABOVE 3KFT. FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE A
DRY DAY WITH LIGHT WINDS.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
