Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
601 PM EDT Sun May 26 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and some isolated thunderstorms will continue until passage
of a cold front later this evening.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
The eve update featured precip prob adjustments based on radar and
high res mdl trends. Nmrs to widespread shwrs and isold tstms can be
expected this eve with the cold front moving off the Great Lakes.
Despite favorable deep layer shear, instability is insufficient for
any sustained svr threat. Isold potential conts south of I 68.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Minimal changes were needed for Memorial day's forecast as ridging
moves over the region and conditions are dry with seasonal
temperatures during the day

A ripple in the westerlies may initiate some convection across
eastern Ohio overnight Monday, but timing and confidence is rather
low given antecedent convection in the plains Monday will influence
this.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Strong southeast CONUS ridging will continue through Wednesday
before a deep high-plains low ejects towards the eastern CONUS.
Wednesday will be rather warm with a chance of rain in the late
afternoon and evening as small perturbations move through zonal-flow
aloft.

The aforementioned low will then bring rain and slightly cooler
weather on Thursday into Friday before the southern ridge asserts
dominance once again.

After Friday, warm conditions will continue for several days with
daily rain chances with each passing shortwave trough or perturbation
in quasi-zonal flow on the northern periphery of the ridge.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
After a relative lull, shower activity has incrsd again with
encroachment of the cdfnt. Convection will end overnight as high
pressure builds. If wind remains low enough and there is enough
cloud clearing, there may be some fog development, especially in the
favored valley areas.

.Outlook...
Possible restrictions return Tuesday with the passage of a warm
front.
