Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
704 PM EDT Thu Jun 10 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and humid conditions will lead to scattered showers and
thunderstorms through Friday. Brief dry weather is expected
Saturday under weak high pressure.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
700pm update...Areas of mid-level convergence are and will continue
to dry convection overnight, with the lifting axis continuing to
shift with the upper low. Flood threats remain low given warm air
aloft and the loss of insolation limiting instability.
Previous Discussion...
Convection will generally diminish tonight as the region lacks
enough forcing from the upper low to offset loss of heating. An iso/sct
shower may remain possible as the upper low continues to pivot and
provides weak lift that can tap into any residual instability.
Otherwise, patchy fog may develop by early Friday morning, favoring
areas that previously received rainfall and the river valleys of
WV/PA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
The meandering upper low will slowly trek east Friday as it attempts
to merge with a more northern-stream trough. Closer proximity to the
low center will create additional areas of lift, aiding another
round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. A decrease of
insolation will limit instability (and keep daytime highs closer to
seasonal averages), but localized flash flooding will remain possible
thanks to deep moisture and slow storm motion.
A shift to weak NW flow will develop into Saturday as the upper low
moves east of the Ohio River Valley. Brief ridging and sfc high
pressure will limit aftn convection and be mostly driven by daytime
heating as highs return to above seasonal averages. However, chances
will increase during the evening with the approach of a weak
shortwave.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Shower chances should continue Sunday morning as the trough/sfc cold
front complete passage. A longwave trough is then expected to
persist across the Eastern CONUS through mid week. A few isolated
showers are possible as shortwaves cross through the main trough. Dry
and cooler weather is expected by mid week as sfc high pressure
builds under the trough.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Isolated to scattered showers will trend down in coverage overnight
due to the loss of heating, though the upper low may help additional
showers develop mainly south of KPIT through Friday morning. Light
wind and a moist boundary layer reinforced by daytime rainfall will
again create MVFR/IFR stratus and patchy fog Friday morning.
Convection will renew through the day Friday due to diurnal heating
and upper support, favoring eastern OH into northern WV. Limited
instability will keep probability of thunderstorms too low for
mention for most terminals. Restriction improvements will be slow
and mainly driven by diurnal heating as abundant moisture remains in
place.
.Outlook...
Restrictions may linger into Saturday morning until drier air moves
into the region behind a weak front. A series of shortwaves in
developing NW flow may provide additional periods of precipitation
chances and restrictions into early next week.
&&
.PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
OH...None.
WV...None.
