Severe thunderstorms will be possible across central Pennsylvania Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the highest risk for severe weather across northwestern Pennsylvania. Further southeast, strong-to-severe thunderstorms are still possible. Damaging winds will be the main hazard with large hail as a secondary concern; however, an isolated, weak tornado cannot be ruled out across western Pennsylvania.

Important Changes: Minor adjustments to timing information and additional information/forecast challenges.

Damaging winds will be the main hazard with large hail as a secondary concern; however, an isolated, weak tornado cannot be ruled out across western Pennsylvania.

Important Changes: Minor adjustments to timing information and additional information/forecast challenges.

Everyone,

A couple of quick reminders....

Today (Tuesday) at 7PM the Clearfield County Amarur Radio Club Weekly Net will happen at 7PM on the 147.255 repeater. Just as we do every Tuesday. Please feel free to join in and share what you've been up to when they call for a round of comments.

And on Thursday evening at 7PM the Clearfield County Amateur Radio Club will meet.? The?location will be the typical Clearfield County EMA building in the Training Room.? El Presidente Tim N3PUL will preside over the proceedings.? We have a number of projects in the works and there will certainly be lots to talk about.

Also... I meant to get the April newsletter finished up this last weekend.? But with the Easter holiday I seemed to have less time than usual.? I will endeavor to have the newsletter out sometime?this week.? Promise.??

Thank you and 73.
