Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 549 PM EDT Mon Jul 15 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible in most locations Tuesday. More widespread rain is expected Wednesday with the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. Hot and humid weather is forecast Friday and Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... Evening Discussion: An increase to the POPs has been made for the late evening hours. Convection continues to stay focused in Eastern Ohio/Northern WV, where weak convergence is located. Due to weak upper-level flow and likely warm-rain processes, heavy rain showers may linger in this area. Otherwise, no other changes have been made to the forecast. Previous discussion: An isolated thunderstorm could remain around Zanesville overnight,where a sfc trough/moisture discontinuity will be found, but otherwise activity will diminish. As the warm front moves through Tuesday morning, it will bring a chance of thunderstorms to all locations. While the high temperature won't change much between today and tomorrow, moisture/dewpoints will be noticeably higher. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... Low pressure will move from Indiana toward Cleveland and into eastern Pennsylvania Tuesday night through Thursday morning, bringing widespread rain Wednesday and Wednesday evening. Rainfall totals during that time period should range anywhere from a quarter inch across Garrett County to an inch across eastern Ohio. Unless training occurs with thunderstorms, the several-day dry stretch should prevent these amounts of rainfall from causing any flooding issues. The bulk of the associated rainfall should move east Wednesday night, although a warm front could bring another chance of rain Thursday afternoon. Temperature will be brought back down toward average on Wednesday with widespread rain, but will rise a few degrees on Thursday. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... An upper-level ridge will build across the southeastern United States through the weekend, leading to broad heat and humidity. Friday appears to be the worst day with respect to heat indices, with most locations reaching advisory criteria on Friday and slightly less coverage on Saturday. Had enough confidence at this point to include a mention of the high heat indices in the HWO. Saturday/Sunday will not be as torrid, as 500 mb heights start to drop off, but still will be quite warm and humid. Shortwave troughs rounding the ridge will maintain chances for isolated/scattered convection in the forecast for each day. && .AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Despite poor depiction of convection in hi-res models, the forecast features higher confidence in the synoptic evolution. Current convection appears to be focused in a convergence zone associated with a weak sfc trough/moisture discontinuity near a ZZV-MGW line. Storms have struggled to develop nwd despite outflow boundaries being generated by the ongoing storms owing to limited CAPE and weak convergence. Moisture will continue to increase from the SW ahead of Barry's remnants, so cannot rule out showers or storms along the convergence zone from ZZV-MGW from 15/2100-16/0000UTC. Coverage should subside after sunset. Included fog for Tuesday morning at KHLG and KMGW as increasing moisture combines with forecasted light wind and limited cloud cover. Showers from Barry will begin to impact the area late Tuesday afternoon. Confidence is lower in pre-dawn visibility, which certainly could be lower than forecast at Wheeling between 09Z-13Z. Scattered showers developing in the sfc trough axis and advancing slowly sewd should weaken as they arrive, so convection was not included at terminals overnight into Tuesday morning. Light wind predominantly from the SSW will continue through the forecast period on the wrn edge of sfc high pressure. .Outlook... Brief MVFR/IFR restrictions are possible during the balance of the forecast period from showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. OH...None. PA...None. WV...None. && Update...12/Kramar
