Area forecast discussion, Feb 28, 5:55 AM EST, 3 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
555 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TODAY
BRINGING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
GENERALLY DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL THEN
PREVAIL THROUGH MID WEEK WITH THE RETURN OF HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS OHIO THIS MORNING AND DRAG A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS FORMED IN THE WARM ADVECTION
REGIME OF THIS SYSTEM AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING
AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

WIDESPREAD ADDTIONAL RAINFALL ON THE ORDER OF AN INCH IS
ANTICIPATED TO ACCOMPANY LAST NIGHTS PRECIPITATION AND LAST OF THE
SNOW MELT.  FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT.

IN ADDTION, ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE LACKLUSTER, SHEAR
VALUES ARE HIGH IN THE WIND FIELD OF THIS SYSTEM. A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 WITH
MAIN THREAT COMING FROM DAMAGING WIND...ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT, SO TORNADO WATCH WAS ISSUED THIS MORNING FOR COUNTIES
SOUTH OF IN 80 EXCEPT FOR LAWRENCE IN THE NORTH AND GARRETT IN THE SOUTH.

THE COLD FRONT WILL COMPLETE A SWEEP OF THE AREA BY THIS EVENING
WITH ANY REMAINING SHOWERS CHANGING TO SNOW, BUT COVERAGE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL RAPIDLY DECREASE; THUS, EXPECT ACCUMULATIONS TO
BE MINOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR TUESDAY WITH THE
REGION UNDER ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. A SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE GREAT
LAKES MAY SPREAD SOME SNOW SHOWERS OVER COUNTIES ALONG AND NORTH
OF I 80 ON WEDNESDAY AS IT DRAGS A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE UPPER
OHIO VALLEY, BUT PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES ARE SLIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO SLIDE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
INTO NEW ENGLAND BY FRIDAY. DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY REGION OVER THE WEEKEND...BRINGING SCATTERED RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS. WEEKEND TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM TO BETWEEN 5
AND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXPECT DETERIORATION OF CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS MORNING AS LOW
PRESSURE CROSSES OHIO AND PULLS A COLD FRONT TOWARD THE AREA.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS, AND INTO EARLY AFTERNOON AT MGW.

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR POTENTIAL WILL ALSO CONTINUE THROUGH THE PRE
DAWN HOURS AS LOW LEVEL JET SURGES WARMTH AND MOISTURE NORTHWARD.
AS SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS, SURFACE GUSTS OUTSIDE OF
ANY SURFACE BASED CONVECTION ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO NEAR 30
KTS.

THE SYSTEMS COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE TERMINALS LATE THIS
MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THAT FRONT WILL QUICKLY SHIFT
THE WIND TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AND CHANGE REMAINING
PRECIPITATION TO SNOW.

SURFACE RIDGE WILL BUILD ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING
DRIER AIR AND VFR CONDITIONS. A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS THE
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR RESTRICTIONS
ACROSS NORTHERN TERMINALS. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL
RETURN WITH THE APPROACH OF LOW PRESSURE ON FRIDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RIVER FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR WILLS CREEK AT CAMBRIDGE FOR
TUESDAY. A FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE OHIO RIVER AT THE
POINT IN PITTSBURGH FROM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.

48 HOUR RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 0.75
TO 1.80 INCHES MOST OF THE REGION. THIS WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ON
TOP OF THE RECENT 0.75 TO 1.40 INCHES OF RAIN FROM THE END OF LAST
WEEK WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF FLOODING ON WILLS CREEK AT
CAMBRIDGE ON TUESDAY. WILLS CREEK IS EXPECTED TO RISE TO 15.3 FEET
TUESDAY MORNING. THIS IS 0.3 FEET ABOVE THE FLOOD STAGE OF 15.0
FEET.

AT THIS TIME...THE ANTICIPATED RAINFALL AND THE RESULTING RUNOFF
WILL CAUSE RISING RIVER FORECAST STAGES ON THE MONONGAHELA...LOWER
ALLEGHENY AND UPPER OHIO RIVERS. AT THIS TIME...FORECAST ESTIMATES
DO NOT WARRANT A RIVER FLOOD WATCH FOR THESE RIVERS.

HOWEVER...RISES ON THE MONONGAHELA RIVER ARE EXPECTED TO CAUSE THE
MONONGAHELA RIVER TO RISE TO 23.4 TUESDAY EVENING. THIS WOULD AFFECT
BOTH THE MONONGAHELA RIVER PARKING WHARF AND THE TENTH STREET
BYPASS. THIS IS SUFFICIENT TO OVER 5 FEET OF WATER ON THE
MONONGAHELA PARKING WHARF AND NEARLY 1.5 FEET OF WATER ON THE
TENTH STREET BYPASS.
