While Thursday night’s storms dumped large hail and lots of rain on parts of northwest Pennsylvania, Venango County and the surrounding area went relatively unscathed.
The storm rolled in at about 8 p.m. Thursday and brought trees and power lines down across the county, according to Venango County 911.
Venango 911 reported at least 30 trees and electric lines down over the course of Thursday night. Clarion County 911 reported 12 downed trees and three downed power lines during the evening.
A tornado watch was issued for southern Venango County Thursday evening, but no tornadoes developed, Hendricks said.
Hendricks added that Venango County really didn’t get flooding as a result of the storm.
Today, patchy fog in the morning will give way to a sunny day with highs in the upper 70s, followed by clear skis tonight and lows in the mid 50s, Hendricks said.
On Sunday, the forecast is mostly sunny with highs in the low 80s, Hendricks said.
The next chance of rain is a 40% chance of showers Monday afternoon, he noted.
After that, the next few days are “looking pretty good, especially if you’ve got a pool,” Hendricks said, adding that highs will climb during the week to the upper 80s and perhaps hit 90 by Thursday.
