Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
514 PM EDT Fri May 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms are expected by this afternoon,
lingering into the overnight. Heavy rain is possible for some,
especially in the WV and PA ridges. Drier weather returns
Saturday afternoon through early next week as temperatures warm.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Widespread rainfall today with heaviest rain possible south of
  I-70.
- A Flood Watch is in effect for Preston/Tucker County
- Marginal risk for severe storms across northern WV this
  afternoon
-------------------------------------------------------------------

515 PM Update...
We contionue to monitor the storms across northern WV for any
potential rotation. The latest mesoanalysis shows the most
favorable area of shear is located across this area, though
instability is weak. We expect a gradual weakening trend later
this eveninig. The other potential we are monitoring is the
heavy rain across WV. Issued a flood warning for Wetzel county
as an area of heavy rain persisted across that area. Will
continue to monitor other areas, especially to the east, where
heavy rain has recently fallen.

2pm Update...
Complex of showers and thunderstorms continues to move into the
region with crossing low pressure this afternoon. Low pressure
is expected to move across southern portions of the area this
afternoon, keeping northern WV in the warm sector before a
trailing cold front sweeps through. Ahead of that front, a
broken line of strong to severe storms has developed across
eastern KY, now moving through western WV. Expectation is that
these will remains just south of the Pittsburgh forecast area
this afternoon. A Tornado Watch is in effect to our south.

The primary threat for our area will be heavy rainfall. Heaviest
rain is likely to stay south of Pittsburgh, and is more
favorable across northern WV and the PA/WV ridges. Rainfall
rates of 0.5-1.0 inches continue to be noted over the last 3
hours in areas to our southwest. Given antecedent wet
conditions over portions of northern WV, and expected rainfall
totals near or exceeding 1", a Slight Risk for excessive
rainfall is highlighted for the region. Probabilities for
excessive rainfall are highest across Preston and Tucker
counties (WV), where the likelihood of 2" through Saturday is
30-40%. This area already has saturated soils from previous
mid-week rainfall, so a Flood Watch is in effect for this
evening through early Saturday.

Significant rain and any most of the lightning threat will end
during the evening hours, but another round of showers is
expected after midnight behind the exiting low as cold
advection and northwest upslope flow begins. Low temperatures
will drop into the 50s overnight as showers linger.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Blustery and cool on Saturday with highs 10 to 15F below
  normal
- Dry and a bit warmer on Sunday
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The upper trough axis will pass Saturday afternoon, with
gradual height rises expected on Sunday. Significant low-level
cold air advection with the nearly 3 sigma trough will keep
highs in the upper 50s north of PIT to mid 60s south on
Saturday. Strong cold advection with deep mixing on Saturday
will keep gusts of 25-30 kts in the forecast. Continued to run
with NBM 90th percentile given tendency for guidance to
underperform with strong cold advection.

Diurnally driven showers are expected through early afternoon
before diminishing with subsidence and drying later in the
afternoon and evening. Saturday night should remain dry and
cool.

Ridging will begin to build over the Midwest and into the
western Great Lakes on Sunday. Rising heights and partly sunny
skies should help boost temperatures 5-10 degrees, but still
below-average.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Warming temperatures continue through midweek
- Rain chances increase by Thursday
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Upper ridging will build across the Great Lakes and through our
region by midweek, bringing a large swing in temperatures.
Height rises around 100m on Monday will finally boost
temperatures back to near-average. Continued rises to around
5860m on Tuesday will then quickly boost highs into the lower
80s. Strong warm advection in southwest flow takes over on
Wednesday as the ridge axis passes. Mid/upper 80s are likely for
highs, and the probability of reaching 90F is near 50% for the
Pittsburgh urban heat island. The experimental NWS Heat Risk
reaches moderate (orange) for much of the region on Wednesday.

It should be noted that wildfire smoke could introduce
uncertainty with high temperatures next week. An initial burst
of smoke aloft is likely tonight behind the front, but this
should exit the area Saturday morning with minimal effect on
area temperature. Better and longer-lasting coverage of smoke is
possible early week as the ridge slides into the area.
Substantial smoke aloft could reduce high temperatures by
multiple degrees, so this will warrant watching as we come into
range of the higher-resolution smoke models.

Uncertainty grows late week as crossing waves and a developing
surface low potentially impact the region. Rain chances increase
by Thursday as a result.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Rain chances continue into the late evening with a passing low
pressure system, cigs and vis are already starting to fall for
all terminals (minus FKL/DUJ/LBE). High resolution models have
been consistent that MVFR to IFR cigs are likely through 06Z
with sufficient low- level moisture and periods of higher
rainfall rates. Thunder potential is considered low with weak
instability.

Brief periods of VFR conditions are likely as the low tracks
east and out the region, mainly between 05Z to 09Z. However, a
noted shot of cold air from a passing shortwave over the Great
Lakes will likely lower cigs back to MVFR/IFR between 08Z to
10Z.

MVFR conditions will erode from southwest to northeast between
12Z to 16Z on Saturday. Shortwave movement within NW flow and
strong cold advection aloft will support scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms Saturday afternoon before subsidence/dry
advection diminishes chances.

Outlook...

There is high confidence (greater than 90% probability) in VFR
by 00z Sunday under the influence of high pressure and dry
advection. These conditions are likely to persist under ridge
building to start the next week.
