AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA 303 PM EDT THU AUG 3 2006 .SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... BASED ON RECENT RUC, NAM WRF, AND GFS MODEL RUNS, EXPECT TWO OR THREE BANDS OF PREFRONTAL THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WIND. LOCAL RAIN AMOUNTS CAN GO OVER 1 OR 2 INCHES. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS 2-2.5 INCHES IN 3 HOURS.
