AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
318 PM EDT TUE JUL 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL MAINTAIN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY...BRINGING COOLER AND MORE COMFORTABLE
CONDITIONS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER
CENTRAL OHIO WHERE BETTER HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION HAS BEEN
ABLE TO TAKE PLACE UNDER MINIMAL CLOUD COVER. THE MODELS HAVE
HANDLED THIS QUIET WELL THUS FAR...AND WHILE THE MESOSCALE
ANALYSIS AND MID LEVEL SOUNDING DATA SUGGESTS MID LEVEL WARMING IS
CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE...CAPPING THE REGION...THERE COULD BE AN
EROSION IN THIS WITH HELP OF A WEAK WAVE AS IT CROSSES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. DESPITE WEAK SHEAR...MOST OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS DECENT DOWNBURST POTENTIAL WITH LARGE THETA-E DIFFERENCE
VALUES...ESPECIALLY OVER OHIO. IN ADDITION...MOST OF THE HI RES
MODELS THAT ARE HANDLING THE CURRENT SITUATION QUITE WELL SUGGEST
TO VARYING DEGREES THAT AN MCS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS EVENING.
WITH THIS IN MIND HAVE BUMPED UP POPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS.

IN ADDITION...WITH PWAT VALUES RANGING FROM 1.7 TO NEAR 2 INCHES
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS PER THE BUFKIT SOUNDINGS THERE IS A
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS COULD POSE A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IN
ANY OF THE AREAS THAT EXPERIENCED HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS AND ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEASTERN OHIO THIS MORNING.
THUS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN
OHIO...NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA...SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA...AND GARRETT
COUNTY MARYLAND.

TEMPERATURES WERE LEFT CLOSE TO A BLEND OF GFS LAMP/NAM GUIDANCE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PCPN ONGOING WED MRNG SHOULD DECR IN CVRG BY MID-MRNG. MDT INSTBY
XPCD TO BCM ESTABLISHED THRU FCST AREA BY LATE MRNG OWING TO
COOLING MID-LVL TEMPS AND ABUNDANT LOW-LVL MSTR CHARACTERIZED BY
DEWPTS IN THE LWR 70S.

MRNG CLD CVR XPCD TO BCM BKN AND ALLOW PATCHY HEATING OF THIS VERY
MOIST AMS...WHICH WILL AID IN BOTH WEAKENING THE CAP AND
STEEPENING LOW-LVL LAPSE RATES. TSTM CVRG XPCD TO INCR MARKEDLY BY
EARLY AFTN. DESPITE WEAK MID-LVL FLOW...MDT INSTBY MAY BE
SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT TSTM ORGANIZATION. GIVEN XPCD DRY AIR ATOP
DP MOIST LYR...LRG HAIL AND DMGG WIND GUSTS BOTH WILL BE PSBL FROM
ANY TSTMS.

MRNG CLD CVR WILL RESTRICT HEATING INITIALLY. BUT OVNGT MINIMA IN
THE 70S WILL OFFER A HEAD START TO MAXIMA IN THE LWR 80S-MID 80S
FOR TMW.

PWATS WILL RMN QUITE HIGH THRU WED NGT...PSBLY APRCHG 2.0 IN. SUCH
VALUES ARE MORE THAN 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABV NRML VALUES AND
WILL ENCOURAGE VERY HIGH PCPN RATES IN TSTMS. FLASH FLOOD WATCH
CONTS THRU WED NGT DURG THIS PD OF HIGH PWATS.

CDFNT WILL PROGRESS THRU FCST AREA WED NGT...LKLY PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL FOCUSED PCPN WED EVE. PCPN WILL SHIFT SEWD OVNGT AND
SHOULD VACATE THE FCST AREA BY MID-MRNG THU.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS ARE NOW IN BETTER AGREEMENT BUILDING IN HIGH PRESSURE FOR
THE WEEKEND. THIS WOULD MEAN DRY AND COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS FOR
MUCH OF THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AS CLOUD COVER BECOMES A BIT MORE BROKEN IN NATURE. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE KFKL AND KDUJ...WHERE IFR CIGS IN STRATUS AND
FOG MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS. AS THE ATMOSPHERE
DESTABILIZES THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
WILL EXPAND...AT LEAST OVER POINTS SOUTH OF I-80. THUS...VCSH AND
VCTS HAVE BEEN ADDED THROUGH THE EARLY EVE HOURS AT ALL SITES.
ONLY ADDED TSRA AT ZZV WITH BETTER CONFIDENCE. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTINUE AFTER SUNSET ALTHOUGH THE LOSS OF
HEATING SHOULD ALLOW FOR OVERALL COVERAGE TO DIMINISH. THINK THAT
WITH SO MUCH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PRESENT...MOST SITES COULD
EXPERIENCE LOW CIGS OR FOG ONCE AGAIN.

SOUTHWESTERN WINDS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 15-20KTS WILL BE
EXPECTED UNTIL AFTER SUNDOWN TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A BTR CHC FOR WIDESPREAD RESTRICTIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE
APPRCH AND PASSAGE OF A CDFNT ON WED AND THU. VFR WL RTN FOLLOWING
FRONTAL PASSAGE.

Heavy Rain: Rainfall totals unusual for the place and season that did not produce a flood.
Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.
Hail: Hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, or smaller hail that caused damage, filed with the largest stone measured.
Flash Flood: Flooding that begins within six hours of the rain that causes it, or of a dam or levee failure or ice jam release, often with deadly speed.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
