Area forecast discussion, Sep 28, 5:27 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 527 PM EDT Sat Sep 28 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A crossing cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms into this evening. Mainly dry weather is expected Sunday under building high pressure. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... No major alterations were needed for the eve update as a cold front will cross the Upr OH this eve spawning scattered showers and a few storms with passage. A marginal severe threat continues with possible damaging wind gusts, but the supporting shortwave is not improving mid level lapse rates and is filling the mid levels with moisture, thus degrading downdraft cape. Any severe threat looks to be short lived and isolated with dependence on modest deep-layer shear and updraft balance, best potential for looking to be generally along the I 70 corridor where warmth and dewpoint are maximized. Post-frontal low level moisture and llvl lift is expected to spawn areas of lower clouds overnight. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... In the wake of the shortwave tonight, the southeast CONUS ridge is projected to reamplify in response to deep low pressure digging north of the Great Basin. Sunday will thus feature dry weather and temperature about 10 degrees above the averages with mitigation via weak ene low level flow. The rest of the short term period will feature continued warmth marred by some low, shortwave dependant precip chances with a couple disturbances crossing the northern periphery of the eastern CONUS ridge. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... The ridge is projected to reach maximum intensity over our region on Tuesday, with dry weather and very warm temperature. A frontal boundary is still forecast to sink into the region during the midweek period, bringing the next best chance of rain. Behind this front, drier weather and more seasonable temperature can be expected for weeks end. && .AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Evening VFR will be marred by nmrs shra and isold tsra being spawned via a crossing cdfnt. Convective restrictions are expected to be brief, and possibly accompanied by some 30 to 40 kt wind gusts. Wind will veer toward the north after fropa and cig restrictions are expected to become more widespread as IFR stratus forms with a shallow inversion forming with the cool influx. Improvement may be slow on Sunday for terminals fm pit n and ewd as ene llvl flow reinforces the inversion. .Outlook... No widespread restrictions expected under high pressure ridging. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. OH...None. PA...None. WV...None. &&
