Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
715 PM EDT Tue Jul 7 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Flash flood watch cancelled in western PA.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) More limited convection on Wednesday

2) Unsettled pattern Thursday through the weekend, with some
severe thunderstorm and flood potential

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
Conditions are expected to be less favorable
for convection on Wednesday, with flat ridging and a possible
cap aloft. Expect the best chance for convection across the
higher terrain areas, though outflows and low convective
temperatures could result in a shower or storm outside of the
terrain as well.

KEY MESSAGE 2...
The Thursday period and into the weekend will feature a trough
setting up over the east and deepening. This will allow multiple
shortwaves to pass through the forecast area in northwest flow.
The Thursday through Saturday period will feature the best
chance for showers and thunderstorms to create some issues with
flood or severe weather. Daytime heating each day along with the
lift in place will allow showers and thunderstorms to develop
by midday and persist through the evening. A slight risk of
excessive rainfall is in place for Friday and Saturday. As well,
although not outlooked by SPC, the CSU machine learning
highlights the area for Thursday through Saturday with a
potential of severe weather due to the wind outlook. This setup
into the weekend will need monitored for an upgrade to a
Marginal in SPC and/or the potential for a Flood Watch Thursday
and into the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR prevails to begin the TAF window as shower and storm
activity wanes and moves further south and east with the
departing shortwave. Morning fog and stratus still looks in
store for many ports overnight but effects may be curbed a touch
without reinforcing moisture from additional rainfall this
afternoon and evening. As such, some prevailing groups have been
cut back to TEMPO groups. Fog impacts seem likely closest to
river valleys, the eastern ridges and south of PIT in areas that
did see rain this past afternoon.

Fog and low stratus are expected to lift and break beginning
after sunrise but widespread VFR may not return until mid-
afternoon. A couple of PROB30 groups have been included for LBE
and MGW, where additional isolated shower and storm activity is
expected tomorrow afternoon.

Outlook...
Mainly VFR broken by morning fog and stratus is expected
through Thursday under high pressure and capping warmth aloft.
Shower and thunderstorm chances return Friday as the high
begins to weaken.

.PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
OH...None.
