Check out these cool pics sent in from our blog storm chaser Ron Shawley: If we stop and think about it, Johnstown and the region have seen some big flooding events happen in March. This leads me to my next concern… the weather on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s going to be warm and gulf air will be pumped northward along with an inch of rain or more. We [...] I have not been around the past few days due to the fact that I had surgery. Thanks for all the prayers and support. I hurt really bad but that’s a good thing, it means that my body is healing, I think. Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone… please give yourself extra time [...] JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ON THE STORM THIS WEEKEND. The storm may take a track up the coast instead of west of the Appalachians. The GFS run this morning shows the track going up the coast. The other operational models are still going for a west of the Appalachians track. I think the [...] Storm Chaser Ron Vs [...]
This past week the Laurel Highlands has seen maybe the worst ice storm in a long time. A day later and the ice can still be found on trees, wires anything outside in short. The groundhog saw his shadow… but no matter how you slice it, we still have 6 weeks of [...]
Those of you who live in, or travel through the West End of Johnstown, know all too well that the winds seem to follow the channel of the river. For the most part, the winds will race down the Eastern face of the Laurel Mountains, then roll through the community of the [...]
Jan. 30 2008 High wind warning issued. I clocked the wind at 63.3 on top of Chickoree summit. I feel the winds were much higher, but I was a little late in getting to my look out point. Here’s how I see it… there is tons of moisture to work with, the question is will there be enough cold air in place to prevent a full change over to rain? I think not! The models never take into consideration the mountains, the valleys and all the cold air that’s locked in. I’m [...] My goal was to stay awake and film the front as it passes by, but it looks like we are 3 hours away yet. The line to the west of Pittsburgh is looking really great, lots of high clouds with a few strikes of lightning showing up in Ohio just to the west of [...]
Morning sunrise above Johnstown… This video showcases a 1 hour sunrise in just a couple of minutes, like time-lapse video.
Johnstown Incline Plane – If you have any stories please share with us.
Jesse Ferrell from AccuWeather.Com makes comments on Johnstown.
The world famous Horseshoe curve, located just to the west of Altoona. Do you have any stories to share about the Curve? The summer of 2007 will be long remembered as one of the best summers to view lightning. Here you can see a variety of massive lightning bolts. These shots were all filmed in western Pennsylvania.
Please fell free to give us your stories as you remember from past floods in Johnstown. History has recorded 3 major floods, but I’m sure prior to 1889 Johnstown had seen it’s share of floods.
This is a rare event. While storm chasing the summer of 2007 one evening I was lucky enough to get this on film. Heres the facts of what and how it happened. That type of fog is called upslope fog!!! It happens when T (temperature) equals Td (dewpoint). Since it [...] Forecasters will tell you, it is very difficult to call the weather right on 100%, moreso when you live in Western Pennsylvania. No matter the season, storms roll in from the west and soon they run into the Laurel Mountains. A example of something that really brings this home is a video I did [...] |
