A cold front crossed the commonwealth during the afternoon and evening hours, scattered severe thunderstorms across the eastern half of Pennsylvania. Initially, the storms were primarily pulse storms. However, some of this activity became severe as it reached the Susquehanna Valley. A bow echo crossed the immediate Harrisburg area, producing considerable wind damage. One severe hail report was received from York County, as a new cell developed just south of the bow echo.
