Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
232 PM EDT MON JUL 25 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving cold front will pass through the area this evening
bringing the chance for scattered storms. A dry mid week before
the weather pattern gets active Friday and Saturday. Above normal
temperatures are forecast all week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As we remain in the warm sector strong daytime heating has allowed
the mercury to climb along with the heat index. As of 2pm
Zanesville, Wheeling, New Philadelphia, and Latrobe already have
hit a 100F+ heat index. Zanesville has set another new record high
for the day. Expect the number of triple digit reports to
increase as we see several more hours of sunshine and soundings do
not show a lot of dry air mixing to the surface. Recent runs of
the RAP model portrayed dewpoints getting into the lower 60s.
Upstream there are no indications of that given parcel
trajectories from that airmass 24 hours ago.

Convective complex over western NY and Lake Erie will be the
focus for storms this afternoon. Experimental HRRR did a great job
on timing and coverage yesterday, so opted to roll with that again
today for Pop forecast. This means any severe threat will be
focused in our eastern zones /Venango south to Fayette/. The line
will intensify as it reaches northwestern PA then traverses
through the central part of the state during the early and mid
afternoon hours. Meanwhile, daytime heating will ignite scattered
thunderstorms elsewhere that will be very tall as SBCAPES are
already over 4000 jkg-1 with no CINH. After looking at forecast
soundings wet microbursts and brief downpours are the primary
threats. DCAPES remain above 1000jkg-1 supporting strong
downdrafts. Again, do not expect widespread severe weather, but
isolated down trees are possible much like Sunday until the
baroclinic zone crosses tonight.

Weather will quiet down this evening as the cold front /in name
only/ passes. There are still questions how far south the
boundary gets. Recent runs from the NCEP suite have trended
farther north keeping it just south of our forecast area in
central WV. Thus, there could be a chance of showers and storms
tomorrow south of the Mason / Dixon line.

H8 temps do not drop more than 1-2C, so if you are looking for a
reprieve to this heat, it is not in the cards. Dewpoints will be
lower, however heat index values around 90F will be common
Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Zonal flow aloft will keep the short term almost entirely dry. H8
temperatures around 18C will keep the area hot. No significant
changes to the short term given the above two sentences. The
timing of the next short wave could bring measurable precipitation
to eastern Ohio Thursday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Highlights:
- Continued above normal temperatures
- Best shot at rain arrives Friday
- Chance of showers and storms has been extended into Saturday

Active weather to start with a shortwave trough traversing the
region. If timing gets pushed back, would not be surprised if
severe weather becomes a possibility given its passage during the
prime heating hours. With moisture surging out ahead, an
extensive amount of clouds are forecast. Slightly more agreement
amongst the ensembles and Superblend, opted to increase pops into
the likely range Friday for much of the region. The mid level
disturbance continues to move slowly east allowing the chance for
showers and storms into Saturday as it lifts northeast through the
Great Lakes.

H5 heights and high pressure build into the region permitting dry
weather Sunday and Monday, but again no signs of any cool downs.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
General VFR expected in a warm, moist airmass ahead of an
approaching front. A few showers have popped up across the region,
but they have missed the terminals to this point. Expect coverage
to increase as we become more unstable through the afternoon. With
winds becoming westerly looks like most of the activity will be
over with before 00Z. Opted to carry VCTS in the TAFs given no
strong signals of a widespread line and will handle them with
AMDs. Restrictions will be limited to any terminal that
experiences a thunderstorm.

The rather diffuse front will slowly sag across the region through
this evening, with a wind shift from southwest to west. IFR fog
could develop during the predawn hours especially at any sight
that sees rainfall this afternoon. After morning fog erodes VFR
returns with diurnal driven clouds.

.OUTLOOK /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Sub VFR weather possible with the next weather system Thursday
night into Friday.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Record highs for today
DuBois 90 set in 1989
New Philadelphia 94 set in 1989
Wheeling 95 set in 2005
Zanesville 95 set in 2005
