Severe Thunderstorm Warning 23, NWS Pittsburgh, PA

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
702 PM EDT Sun Apr 14 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and potential severe thunderstorms will accompany the
approach and passage of low pressure this afternoon and evening.
Cooler temperatures and lingering showers are forecast for Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
7pm update...convective line continues to rush eastward. Latest
update will include the expansion of the tornado watch and the
removal of some of my Ohio counties behind the main line. Gusty
thunderstorms are still possible behind the main line along the cold
front.

Previous discussion...

Substantial dry slot is now working into the western counties,
particularly Ohio, where temperatures are already recovering towards
the upper 60s/around 70 and CAPE is starting to build.

Still looking at the potential for a significant round of severe
weather during the late afternoon/evening. Damaging
wind gusts remain the overall higher threat. However, it is not
often we see a 10% tornado risk contour in the SPC Day 1 convective
outlook, as we do today in southeast Ohio. Initial storms in
southeast Ohio will tend to be more discrete ahead of the advancing
cold front and will be able to take advantage of 70-80 knots of
effective bulk shear, as well as CAPE of 1000-1500 j/kg. HREF
maximizes STP values and updraft helicity in Ohio as well. Expect
storms to conglomerate into a more linear structure with time as they
cross into WV/PA, with the tornado threat decreasing a bit, but
damaging wind gusts remain quite likely. Hail may also be a concern
as well in the strongest updrafts. Convective watches for our area
are almost a foregone conclusion.

Have timed PoPs to the hi-res model consensus, bringing categorical
values along with the main convective line. Earlier rainfall of one
half to three quarters of an inch may set up isolated locations for
high water issues later, particularly urban areas, but still expect
this threat to remain secondary in nature at this time given the
overall progressive nature of the system.

Once convection pulls east with the front by late evening/midnight,
showers will linger through the night as the upper trough axis moves
into the region. These will linger through Monday in northwest flow. Snow
may mix in late as dramatically colder air aloft moves in aloft, but
the warm ground and mostly above-freezing air temperatures will
limit virtually all accumulation to zero. Winds will continue to be
gusty during the day. Advisory-level gusts are possible along the
ridges, but will hold off on any issuance for that given the
impending severe weather. Shower activity will mostly cease by
sunset as low-level ridging arrives.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
500 mb heights will rise Tuesday and Wednesday as a new trough digs
across the Rockies and Plains. This will push temperatures back above
normal. Some light rain chances remain mostly north of Pittsburgh on
Tuesday, but may sink a bit further into the central CWA on
Wednesday as shortwaves ride over the ridge. Impacts should be
minimal.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
That western trough will make eastward progress towards the end of
the week, bringing more substantial rain chances by Friday
night/Saturday, with strong southerly flow bringing another round of
deep moisture. Depending on timing, a severe weather threat may exist
with this system. Behind the system's cold front, troughing will
provide lingering showers and cooler temperatures next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
General VFR conditions remain ahead of convective line of storms.
These storms will continue to rush eastward as a line, restricting
visibilities with moderate to heavy rains and gusts to 40kts. The
strongest storms could produce wind gusts in excess of 50kts.

MVFR to IFR intermixed with light rain showers will follow the fropa
during the overnight hours, with WSW winds gusting to 25 to 30kts.
Cold air filtering in will change rain over to snow sometime Monday
morning.

.Outlook...
Restrictions should continue through Mon under upper troughing.
Restrictions are possible again N of PIT with a Wed warm front.

&&

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