When you say gusting winds, do you mean like 15 MPH...lol.

Maybe a gust to 20 !!!!!

Hey, I am getting my new lawn and Ivy watered finally. A whopping .07 in the rain gauge so far. It probably still will need to be watered tonight as the ground has been bone dry under the surface.

Boy when we get a large MCS moving over Lake Erie they run into a brick wall in Allegheny County.

This seems to have been the case for years now.

A wind gust of 59mph was reported at Pit Int'l today. My wife knows all about it, because she was parked in her work parking lot on her lunch when some guy pulled in right next to her. He opened his door and lost control of it in the wind smacking into and denting my wife's car. Just bought the car 8 months ago too. Figures. Thank God for insurance in this case. I saw an inside out umbrella in a parking lot from the wind as well. It got a little crazy early afternoon.

Must have been a mostly south and west thing.

I only picked up .18 or rain and winds weren't too bad.

Almost in the 30% hatching for tomorrow.

SPC AC 081729

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1229 PM CDT WED JUN 08 2011

VALID 091200Z - 101200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM NEW ENGLAND WWD ACROSS THE

MIDWEST/OH VALLEY INTO THE MID MO VALLEY REGION...

...SYNOPSIS...

RIDGING ALOFT IS FORECAST TO PERSIST ACROSS THE S CENTRAL AND SERN

U.S. THIS PERIOD...WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WRN U.S.

FORECAST TO MAKE EWD PROGRESS ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION WITH

TIME. ADDITIONALLY...SMALLER-SCALE DISTURBANCES ARE PROGGED TO

CROSS THE GREAT LAKES/NORTHEAST U.S. WITHIN FAST WLY FLOW -- WITH

THE FLOW FIELD TO BECOME INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC WITH TIME ACROSS THIS

AREA AS THE SRN FRINGE OF AN EWD-MOVING ERN CANADA TROUGH AFFECTS

THIS AREA.

AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ERN CANADA TROUGH

IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES/ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY AND

MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE FRONT SHOULD MAKE

LITTLE SWD PROGRESS THOUGH ACROSS THE OH VALLEY...AND WILL LIKELY

BEGIN A NRN RETREAT ON ITS WRN FRINGE AS A WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG THE

BOUNDARY INVOF THE MID MO VALLEY. THIS FRONT -- FROM THE NORTHEAST

WWD INTO THE MID MO VALLEY REGION -- SHOULD BE THE FOCUS FOR THE

PRIMARY AREA OF SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS PERIOD.

...NEW ENGLAND WSWWD INTO THE MIDWEST/OH VALLEY REGION...

STORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD ACROSS PORTIONS

OF THE NORTHEAST...WITH LOW-END SEVERE POTENTIAL POSSIBLY ONGOING AS

WELL. POCKETS OF HEATING/DESTABILIZATION SHOULD OCCUR THROUGH THE

MORNING AND AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL SUPPORT MORE WIDESPREAD STORM

DEVELOPMENT NEAR/AHEAD OF THE ADVANCING FRONT. WITH MODERATELY

STRONG DEEP-LAYER WLYS ACROSS THIS REGION...POTENTIAL FOR

DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIZED/BOWING LINE SEGMENTS APPEARS TO EXIST --

ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED THREAT FOR WIND DAMAGE. HAIL WILL ALSO BE

POSSIBLE -- ESPECIALLY WHERE GREATER DESTABILIZATION CAN OCCUR.

WEAKER FLOW ALOFT FARTHER WWD INTO THE MIDWEST SUGGESTS SOMEWHAT

LESSER SEVERE POTENTIAL...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT LIKELY FROM THE

LOWER GREAT LAKES/UPPER OH VALLEY ENEWD. WHILE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE

ENTIRE REGION SHOULD DECREASE OVERALL INTO THE

EVENING/OVERNIGHT...LIMITED THREAT MAY PERSIST ACROSS SRN NEW

ENGLAND/NY/PA/NJ THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

...MID MO VALLEY REGION...

BOUNDARY LAYER EVOLUTION REMAINS DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN ATTM ACROSS

THE CENTRAL PLAINS/MID MO VALLEY REGION...WITH THE MODELS

FORECASTING REDEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGH PLAINS LEE LOW NEWD INTO THE

MID MO VALLEY REGION WITH TIME. THOUGH THE WARM SECTOR BOUNDARY

LAYER SHOULD REMAIN CAPPED INTO THE AFTERNOON...MODEL DEPICTIONS OF

A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH MOVING NEWD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AHEAD OF THE

MAIN TROUGH FARTHER W SUGGESTS WEAKENING OF THE CAP...AND SUBSEQUENT

STORM DEVELOPMENT. OVERNIGHT...MORE WIDESPREAD/ELEVATED STORM

DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED N OF THE FRONT ACROSS IA AND ERN NEB.

SURFACE-BASED STORM COVERAGE IS A QUESTION ACROSS NERN KS/NRN MO/SRN

IA/FAR SERN NEB. HOWEVER...AMPLE CAPE -- AND SHEAR SUFFICIENT FOR

SUPERCELLS -- SUGGESTS AT LEAST 15% SEVERE PROBABILITIES FOR

HAIL/ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO OR TWO.

ATTM...WILL NOT UPGRADE THE PROBABILITY DUE TO UNCERTAINTY...BUT

THIS AREA COULD REQUIRE HIGHER SEVERE PROBS IN LATER OUTLOOKS.

OVERNIGHT...HAIL IS ALSO EXPECTED WITH THE ELEVATED STORMS EXPANDING

WITHIN THE WARM ADVECTION REGIME N OF THE SURFACE FRONT.

...APPALACHIANS...

WITH THE UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE SERN U.S. EXPECTED TO WEAKEN A BIT

THIS PERIOD...ACTIVE AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP --

INITIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE CENTRAL AND SRN

APPALACHIANS. THOUGH THE FLOW FIELD WILL REMAIN QUITE WEAK UNDER

THE UPPER RIDGE...A DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR COLD

POOL DEVELOPMENT -- AND THUS THE POSSIBILITY OF POCKETS OF ISOLATED

DAMAGING WITH THREAT INTO EARLY EVENING.

CONCERNING...OUTLOOK UPGRADE

VALID 091533Z - 091630Z

A CATEGORICAL UPGRADE FROM SLIGHT TO MODERATE RISK--DRIVEN BY A MORE

PROBABLE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND THREAT--WILL BE FORTHCOMING AT THE

1630Z CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK UPDATE. ADEQUATE DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND A

MODERATE TO VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO STORMS

DEVELOPING AND ORGANIZING BY THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING

EXPECTED.

And diving a bit south as well.

We must have a warm cap over our area because storms are fireing to our East also.

Lately almost every MCS weakens as it moves in and re-developes to our East.

I wouldn't be surprised if this thing goes south and then hooks up with the activity to our east and forms a solid line to our south and east.
