Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 9:45 AM EDT, 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
945 AM EDT WED JUN 4 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
A STRONG HIGH WILL BRING HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TORNADO WATCH 446 THROUGH 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON FOR EAST CENTRAL
OHIO...NORTH CENTRAL WV...AND WESTERN MD. ONE COMPLEX OF STORMS
THAT PRODUCED PENNY SIZED HAIL IS NOW EXITING WESTERN PA...WITH
THE NEXT COMPLEX ENTERING EASTERN OHIO...WITH ANOTHER LINE OF
STORMS BEHIND IT ACROSS EASTERN INDIANA/WESTERN OHIO. WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS/NUMEROUS TSTMS WILL CONTINUE FROM PITTSBURGH SOUTH...WITH
LESSER ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL PUSH NORTH THIS AFTN WITH PRECIP SHIELD REACHING
THE I-80 CORRIDOR BY LATE THIS AFTN. THINK THE GREATEST SEVERE RISK
WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH ALONG THE INSTABILITY AXIS AND HIGHER
SURFACE DEWPOINTS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT
FAVORABLE FOR SOME ROTATION IN THE STRONGER STORMS...ESPECIALLY
I-70 SOUTHWARD. ALSO WITH THE CONTINUING TRACK OF THESE COMPLEXES
ACROSS THE SAME AREA...THE FLOOD THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS AFTN UNTIL THE FRONT MAKES A PUSH NORTH...THUS WILL KEEP
THE FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES NORTHWARD TONIGHT AS LARGE SFC LOW OVER
CENTRAL US MOVES NORTHWARD AS WELL. IN ADDITION...UL HEIGHTS
BEGIN TO SLOWLY RISE INTO THU MORNING AS LARGE EASTERN RIDGE
STARTS TO TAKE HOLD.
THIS UL RIDGE WILL BE THE MAIN PLAYER IN OUR WEATHER THROUGH
FRIDAY. BENEATH THIS RIDGE...SFC HIGH DEEPENS AND PROVIDES STRONG
AND CONSISTENT FLOW FROM THE SOUTH. NOT MUCH ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
WITH SUCH STRONG SUBSIDENCE...HOWEVER...A MUCH WARMER AND HUMID
PATTERN WILL MAKE IT FEEL VERY MUCH LIKE SUMMER BY FRIDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CURRENT MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WANT TO KEEP STRONG RIDGE OVER THE
EASTERN US INTO EARLY MONDAY.
THIS WILL MEAN A MAINLY DRY WEEKEND...BUT WELL ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND HUMID CONDITIONS. WITH SO MUCH HUMIDITY...A
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM REMAINS A POSSIBILITY THIS WEEKEND...BUT MAIN
TRACK OF ACTIVITY WILL BE WELL NORTH OF THE REGION INTO EARLY MONDAY.
RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN MONDAY AND FRONT TO THE NORTH WILL
START TO SINK SOUTHWARD.
AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TAKE TILL TUESDAY UNTIL FRONT
WILL HAVE ENOUGH PUSH TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRONT LYING ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND SOUTHWEST PA WITH AREAS OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN TERMINALS. QUITE VARIABLE
CONDITIONS WITH VFR AT TIMES QUICKLY BECOMING IFR IN SHOWERS AND
STORMS. NORTH OF BOUNDARY AREAS OF STRATUS AND FOG CREATING MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS MORNING. BOUNDARY
WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH THIS AFTN WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPANDING NORTH WITH GENERAL MVFR CONDITIONS.
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY. WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS EARLY MORNING FOG AND HAZE WILL LOWER
CONDITIONS TO MVFR/IFR AT TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION.
