At the moment, the NWS believes it may have been a “macroburst.”
Channel 9′s Severe Weather Center Meteorologist Madi Baggett explains that a macroburst is a quick hit of strong, straight-lined winds coming from a storm cloud.
“The air leaving the downburst is cooled and is capable of producing wind gusts over 160 mph. A macroburst is defined as a large downburst with a wind field extending over 2.5 miles long. Macrobursts are wider than a mircoburst but often not as strong.”
Baggett says the radar showed wind gusts faster than 60 mph in York’s Saturday night cell.
