Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
1218 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
The advance of a strong cold front has brought showers and
thunderstorms to the Upper Ohio Region for today.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
The midnight update included adjustments to timing of POPs as a
couple waves of convection are anticipated today. The first in
the predawn of this morning. Showers and thunderstorms with
potential for damaging wind and isolated tornadoes remain the
problem of the day given strong deep layer shear.

Locally heavy rain potential is also being monitored, especially
over areas along and south of I 70 where rain fell yesterday
and where instability and storm-track indications are better
for today.

Late day cold frontal passage will end these threats and return
cold and snow showers chances to the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
After the FROPA, upper troughing, cold advection, and limited
lake and terrain enhancement should result in scattered snow
showers through Thursday. After temperatures peak on Wednesday
around 25 degrees above average, a return to below seasonal
average temps are expected through the rest of the period.

Clipper system which has been well-advertised by the models
blows in Thursday night with some light snow. A reinforcing shot
of cold air arrives behind the system Friday, as snow showers
linger and possibly reenhance Friday afternoon with sharp low-
level lapse rates. Accumulation rates may initially struggle
with warmish ground, but cannot rule out the eventual need for a
winter weather advisory in at least the ridges. Overall snow
totals were increased slightly for the 24 hour period.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Troughing pattern in the wake of the clipper Saturday
transitions to a more zonal/flat ridge pattern for Sunday and
Monday, and then a more amplified pattern once again by Tuesday
with another trough/front approaching. Mainly dry weather for
Saturday may be followed by a weak disturbance on Sunday, and
then better precipitation chances thereafter as southwest flow
and moisture ramp up again. Below average temperatures at the
start will rise moderate early in the new week.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Shortwaves ahead of an approaching cold front should result in
mainly MVFR conditions through early this morning. The waves
should spread showers and thunderstorms across the region
through this morning with occasional IFR possible, with
additional showers and possible thunderstorms are expected with
the passage of the cold front this afternoon.

A strong jet in place will result in a LLWS potential early
until mixing begins later this morning results in mixing some of
this wind to the ground as sfc gusts. A strong pressure gradient
and cold advection should keep strong W gusts in the TAF
tonight.

.OUTLOOK...
Periodic restrictions are likely through Friday as cold low
pressure crosses the region.

&&

.PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MD...None.
OH...None.
PA...None.
WV...None.
