Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 5:11 PM EDT, 5 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 511 PM EDT Wed Jun 8 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Showers and thunderstorms return this evening and overnight with crossing low pressure. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, mainly south of I 76. Drier weather returns on Thursday before additional rain chances Friday night into Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... No significant chances were made to the evening/overnight forecast, though PoPs were nudged slightly to a blend of the latest CAM runs. Widespread showers with embedded thunderstorms are expected this evening into the overnight as sfc low pressure with relatively strong upper jet support crosses the region. Convection will progress east of the ridges through the early pre-dawn hours Thursday. Isolated strong to severe storms are still possible this evening primarily south of I-76 where CAMs prog Eff. Bulk Shear in the 45-55 kts range. Waning instability and llvl LRs with loss of daytime heating will be the limiting factor as these storms progress eastward into the CWA. Isolated hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat with any strong storms that do develop, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out given the anticipated shear profile. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... Drier air will begin to overspread the region on Thursday while upper troughing sets up over much of the east. Thursday will see more cloud cover as cooler air spreads across the region. A few isolated sprinkles pop up during the late morning/afternoon. Low confidence forecast for Friday with large differences in model solutions. Will rely on a blend of models for the Friday forecast. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Long range model ensembles indicate a low in the periphery could introduce rain to the area this weekend. Temperature looks to remain seasonable and summer-like through the period. && .AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR should prevail through the late evening ahead of advancing low pressure. Shra and tsra coverage should then increase after 00Z, with deterioration in both cigs and vis to MVFR/IFR thereafter through early Thurs. Storms that do impacts regional airports may have the potential to produce damaging wind, large hail, and isolated tornadoes, with convection ending from west to east through 06Z. Lingering llvl moisture within increasing subsidence should promote gradual improvement from IFR/MVFR and eventual VFR by early Thurs aftn. .Outlook... Isolated restrictions within upper troughing may impacts ports Friday morning, but overall VFR is expected through late Fri under sfc high pres. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. OH...None. WV...None. &&
