Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
322 PM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Unsettled weather is expected through Tuesday with a series of
crossing disturbances. Strong wind gusts and localized flooding
remain possible in heavier storms. Dry conditions expected
Tuesday night through Thursday night. Wet weather expected to
return Friday.

&&

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

- Flood Watch in effect today through 10pm for excessive
  rainfall.
- Marginal Severe and Slight Excessive Rainfall Outlooks.
---------------------------------------------------------------

The warm front from a low over eastern Ohio has already passed
through the area which brought the steady area of rain. The cold
front is forecast to move through the region this afternoon/evening
bringing thunderstorms and the potential for locally heavy rainfall.
The current track will take the low center across Ohio and just
north of Pittsburgh. A northerly low over Lake Erie and western New
York would put us in a warm sector where the latest HREF suggests
moderate probabilities (40%-60%) of at least marginal instability
(SBCAPE > 500 J/kg) and deep-layer shear exceeding 40 knots in
southwestern PA and northern WV, which would support hail and
damaging wind threat.

The other main threat for today will be rainfall. Right now, the
highest confidence in the potential for heavy rainfall is generally
near and Laurel Highlands and south of the Mason-Dixon line. In
these areas, both the NBM and HREF suggest medium to high
probabilities (40-70%) of at least an inch of rainfall from this
system. Meanwhile, farther north, there is lower confidence as
the NBM shows a 15-25% probability for an inch while the HREF
suggests a second local probability maximum of 30-40% over
portions of southern Mercer and Venango counties. These
variances are likely attributed to differences in the surface
low track, but the key takeaway is that at least a low-end
threat for additional heavy rainfall exists across southern
portions of our area. This is especially the case for areas that
have already seen heavy rainfall in recent days, where soils
are more likely to be saturated and runoff more efficient. A
Flood Watch remains in effect through 10pm.

Overnight, some lingering showers and thunderstorms are expected in
the eastern portion of our region as a trailing cold front drapes
across the area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Slight Severe and Excessive Rainfall Outlooks for Monday
- Unsettled weather continues through Tuesday morning.
- Conditions dry during the daytime on Tuesday.
----------------------------------------------------------------

The trailing cold front will serve as a focus for additional
convection on Monday. Ensembles suggesting moderate to high
probabilities of at least 1000 J/kg SBCAPE and 30 mph 0-6km
wind shear ahead of this front. There will once again be a risk
for strong to severe storms Monday afternoon with the main
threats as wind and marginal chance for isolated tornadoes. The
Storm Prediction Center has highlighted marginal risks for
severe storms.

Additionally, the residence time of the boundary will continue
to support some potential for excessive rainfall. The Weather
Prediction Center has highlighted a slight risk of excessive
rainfall for Monday. With PWATs crossing the 1.4 to 1.5
threshold, we begin to get into the 90th percentile for
precipitable water.

On Monday night, the upper trough finally advances eastward
across the Ohio Valley and northeast of the area by Tuesday
evening. More showers and storms will accompany this passage
and, given amount of rain that will have fallen on prior days,
carry a continued threat for excessive rainfall and localized
flooding. With the front out of our region, Tuesday night is
expected to be dry.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Dry and less humid weather returns Wednesday through Thursday
  night.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

High pressure builds into the region Tuesday night into
Wednesday resulting in dry weather from Wednesday through
Thursday night, along with a slow warming trend. A passing
trough will bring a chance of rainfall back to the area for
Friday. Deep-layer flow during this period will be out of the
southwest and thus it will remain to be seen if the potential
leads to any severe or flood risk. Saturday will likely hold a
continued chance of precip.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A surface low currently located over eastern Ohio will drift
northeastward across the local area through the remainder of the
day. The shield of more widespread, steady rainfall associated
with the warm front has moved north of PIT and will continue to
impact FKL/DUJ over the next few hours. Farther south, deeper
mixing in a destabilizing warm sector has helped scatter clouds
and lift bases to high-end MVFR or VFR, though this is also
where scattered thunderstorms are beginning to develop and will
continue to do so through the remainder of the afternoon. A few
of these storms could produce strong wind gusts and large hail.

Convection tapers off after sunset with the loss of daytime
heating, with low-end MVFR or IFR ceilings and visibilities
settling into most of the area (except ZZV) overnight due to
lingering near-surface moisture from the day's rainfall.

Conditions improve to low-end VFR mid to late Monday morning
with the onset of daytime heating/mixing.

Outlook...
A strong cold front brings showers, thunderstorms, and
restrictions to the area Monday afternoon and evening. Cig
restrictions are possible Monday night after FROPA, with patchy
restrictions in scattered showers Tuesday under a crossing upper
trough. VFR returns Wednesday and Thursday under high pressure.
