Area forecast discussion, Jul 24, 6:08 AM EDT, 1 hour 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA 608 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TODAY...SEVERE WEATHER COULD IMPACT LOCATIONS TO THE SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH. ANOTHER FRONT WILL BRING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY DRAPED ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN...EXTENDING EAST TO JUST NORTH OF LAKE ERIE. THE FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION TODAY...WITH ENHANCEMENT PROVIDED BY AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE THAT IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM WISCONSIN SOUTHEAST INTO NORTH CAROLINA. WHILE EFFECTIVE SHEAR VALUES AROUND 30-35 KTS ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK ALONG THE FRONT...MODERATE CAPE VALUES WILL PRIMARILY REMAIN SOUTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE. AS A RESULT...THINK THAT BEST LOCAL POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WILL REMAIN GENERALLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM ZANESVILLE TO MORGANTOWN. HOWEVER...IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SPC SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDES ALL LOCATIONS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM NEW PHILADELPHIA TO WHEELING AND LATROBE. WITH THE SHORTWAVE RACING SOUTHEAST...BEST CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE LATE MORNING AND THE EARLY AFTERNOON...PROVIDING ANOTHER POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE WEATHER. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE TONIGHT...AND MUCH COOLER/DRIER AIR. LOWS SHOULD DROP INTO THE 50S IN ALL LOCATIONS. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... TODAY/S FRONT SHOULD LIFT BACK TO THE NORTH WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT. STILL UNSURE AS TO JUST HOW PRECIPITATION THE FRONT WILL GENERATE ON ITS RETURN TRIP. 00Z MODEL RUNS HAVE ACCELERATED THE WARM FRONT PASSAGE...AND NOW SHOW THAT THE FRONT WILL LIKELY MOVE THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS TIMING SHOULD LIMIT DIURNAL ENHANCEMENT OF SHOWERS/STORMS. THE FASTER TIMING WILL ALSO KEEP WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOWS A BIT HIGHER AS WELL WITH THE REGION RETURNING TO THE WARM SECTOR MORE QUICKLY. LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM LOWER MICHIGAN TOWARDS NEW ENGLAND ON THURSDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT TO THE SOUTHEAST. WITH THE FRONT SLIDING THROUGH THE REGION SLOWLY...THIS COULD PROVIDE AN EXTENDED PERIOD FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR ALL OF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ANY POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ON THURSDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON LOCATION OF THE FRONT. FOR NOW...SPC HAS DEPICTED A BROAD AREA FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL ON THURSDAY..INCLUDING THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THURSDAY APPEARS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY WHILE THE REGION IS IN THE WARM SECTOR...WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90. TEMPS SHOULD BE SEASONAL FOR WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL DIG A SHORT WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION FRIDAY AND SLOWLY MOVE THE TROUGH AXIS MOVE EAST TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY MONDAY. KEPT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH DRY WEATHER EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST AND A WEAK SURFACE HIGH BRINGS DRIER AIR IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. FORECAST TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE AND NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. && .AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SHRTWV IN NW FLOW WL SUPPORT MOIST...DEEP CONVECTION ALONG SWD SAGGING CDFNT TODAY. THIS WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT PORTS FM PIT SWD WITH MVFR/ISOLD IFR CONDITIONS AND TAFS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED ACCORDINGLY USING THE LATEST HRRR TIMING AND GENL PLACEMENT. OTHERWISE SFC WND WL VEER TO THE W AND NW WITH PASSAGE OF THE SFC REFLECTION. BUILDING SFC HIGH IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL PORTS BY LATE AFTN. OUTLOOK...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY... GENL VFR...BUT WITH PERIODIC CHCS FOR TSRA/ASSOCIATED RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHRTWVS TRACK ACRS THE UPR OH VALLEY. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
