AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
902 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT NO MORE THAN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT WITH FOG IN
AREAS THAT GOT HEAVY RAIN. BROAD HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN HOT
AND HUMID CONDITIONS ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
HAVE DROPPED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH EXCEPT FOR 4 PA-WV-MD MOUNTAIN
COUNTIES, WHICH ENDS AT 10 PM.  AREAS OF FOG CAN DEVELOP LATE
TONIGHT WHERE HEAVY RAIN HAS OCCURRED.

RECENT RADAR DATA SHOWS NEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO,
MOVING SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE I-80 CORRIDOR. HRRR MODEL OUTPUT SHOWS
THESE DISSIPATING, SO ONLY HAVE ISOLATED MENTIONED FOR A COUPLE
HOURS PAST MIDNIGHT, BUT WILL MONITOR AS SATELLITE DATA SHOWS CB
TOPS COOLING.

FORECASTED TEMPERATURES BASED ON BLEND OF RECENT SURFACE DATA AND
HRRR AND GFS LAMP MODEL OUTPUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
RECENT SREF MODEL OUTPUT CONTINUES TO SHOW THE BROAD HIGH PRESSURE
ACROSS THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL U.S. STRENGTHENING THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY, THEN SHRINKING SOUTH SATURDAY.

THE MAIN EFFECT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE TO CONTINUE THE HOT
HUMID CONDITIONS, WITH GFS, NAM, AND ECMWF MOS SHOWING THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY HAVING THE HIGHEST AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE SHRINKS SOUTH SATURDAY, HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY MAY BE
A COUPLE DEGREES LOWER THAN FRIDAY. HOWEVER, HUMID CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST.

SO HAVE ADDED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY FOR MOST OF THE UPPER
OHIO VALLEY, EXCEPT THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS AND I-80 CORRIDOR.
IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK HAVE MENTIONED HEAT INDICES WELL INTO
THE 90S FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THERE IS GFS/ECMWF ENSEMBLE AGREEMENT TO BEGIN THE PERIOD THAT DEEP
RIDGING WILL BE CENTERED ACROSS THE MISSOURI VALLEY. THE UPPER OHIO
VALLEY WILL BE IN A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE. THE MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATES AN AMPLIFYING TREND WITH THE
RIDGE DOMINATING THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CONUS AND LOWERING
MID-LEVEL HEIGHTS ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AS A TROUGH BUILDS
INTO THE NORTHEAST.

AFTER A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA AND BRINGS
CHANCE POPS ON SUNDAY, A DRIER AND COOLER FORECAST IS IN PLACE FOR
EARLY NEXT WEEK. HAVE GONE DRY OR WITH SILENT SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR
LOWERING HEIGHTS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. UNCERTAINTY ENTERS THE FORECAST
BY NEXT THURSDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A MID-LEVEL TROUGH PUSHING
FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPS ARE
AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON SUNDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL THEN LOWER TO NEAR SEASONABLE VALUES FOR MONDAY, TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
EXPECT ONLY RESTRICTIONS TO VFR ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY WILL
BE MVFR FOG LATE TONIGHT DUE TO CONTINUED HUMID CONDITIONS. RECENT
RADAR SHOWS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM
NORTHERN OHIO, WHICH WILL BE MONITORED TO SEE IF THESE HOLD
TOGETHER TO AFFECT TAF SITES SUCH AS KFKL, KBVI AND KPIT. IFR FOG
CAN OCCUR WHERE HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED, BUT THIS RAIN HAS MISSED
OTHER TAF SITES. EXPECT NONSTOP VFR THURSDAY AFTER 13Z.

OUTLOOK...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
VFR EXPECTED, EXCEPT FOR MORNING MVFR HAZE. RESTRICTIONS WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE IN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE SATURDAY AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY
