blackngoldrules Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well, tonight, most of the area from the Ohio Valley to Western PA/NY is capped, but the Slight Risk of severe is still in place, due to the potential of overnight severe storms, which i think is low, but some low tornado probs and 15% hail/wind probs, then tomorrow our situation could be like on June 29th, start with a low threat of severe and end up being in a moderate risk, some of the models have a large MCS heading from IN into OH then WV/PA tomorrow afternoon, then on Thursday, Western PA could be under the gun for a significant severe event, with a fairly decent storm system moving over the area We got a couple busy days coming up Good call. There are some storms popping up this morning already. The NWS changed their forecast from slight chance of showers to a chance of showers and storms today.

north pgh Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Good call. There are some storms popping up this morning already. The NWS changed their forecast from slight chance of showers to a chance of showers and storms today. Just had a storm roll through here. Marble size hail and an estimated wind gust of about 45 mph. Didn't last long. Over in about 10 minutes and picked up .29 inches of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling Snowed Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 ...NEW ENGLAND/OH VALLEY/MID MS VALLEY TO SRN PLAINS... LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE IN PRINCIPAL AGREE THAT AN EARLY DAY MID LEVEL SPEED MAX ON THE ORDER OF 50-60KT WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS UPSTATE NY INTO NEW ENGLAND AND SHOULD PROVE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A CORRIDOR OF ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF ATTENDANT SFC LOW. GFS IS CONSIDERABLY STRONGER WITH LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION/SFC LOW AS IT SPREADS INTO NEW ENGLAND AND ALLOWS FOR A MORE NWD EXTENSION OF TSTMS INTO PORTIONS OF SRN ME THAN THE NAM. THIS EARLY ACTIVITY MAY PRODUCE SOME HAIL BUT THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT THURSDAY WILL OCCUR ALONG/AHEAD OF TRAILING COLD FRONT SWWD ACROSS THE OH VALLEY. STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER HEATING IS EXPECTED AHEAD OF COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND LATEST NAM SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SFC TEMPERATURES MAY SOAR WELL INTO THE UPPER 90S BY 18Z ACROSS THE OH VALLEY...LIKELY AS FAR NE AS WRN PA WITH NEAR 90 POSSIBLE INTO PARTS OF WRN NY. NEEDLESS TO SAY CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES WILL EASILY BE ATTAINED WITH THIS INTENSE HEATING AND COMBINED WITH FRONTAL CONVERGENCE THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT SCATTERED-NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL EVOLVE ALONG THE ADVANCING BOUNDARY. ADDITIONALLY...500 MB FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 40-50KT WILL EXTEND ACROSS THIS DEVELOPING ACTIVITY AND ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY EARLY AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL BE IN PLACE AS CONVECTION MATURES. AS A RESULT THERE IS INCREASING CONCERN THAT DAMAGING WINDS MAY BE COMMON WITH WARM SECTOR CONVECTION. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS AN AREA FROM SRN OH ACROSS MUCH OF WRN/NRN PA INTO CNTRL NY MAY BE UPGRADED TO A MODERATE CATEGORICAL RISK IN LATER OUTLOOKS. FARTHER SW ALONG THE TRAILING COLD FRONT...STRONG HEATING WILL PROVE INSTRUMENTAL IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SRN IND/IL INTO SRN MO WITHIN BASE OF UPPER TROUGH WHERE MID LEVEL FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 30KT IS EXPECTED. THIS ACTIVITY COULD CERTAINLY ORGANIZE ALONG THE COLD FRONT WITHIN A FLOW REGIME THAT WOULD FAVOR ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL LINE SEGMENTS OR CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS. LOWER SEVERE PROBS WILL ALSO BE EXTENDED INTO THE SRN PLAINS OF OK/NWRN TX WHERE PW VALUES COULD APPROACH 2 INCHES WITH SFC TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S. THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ACROSS THIS REGION FAVOR LOCALLY DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS BUT THESE STORMS WILL DEVELOP WITHIN A RELATIVELY WEAK FLOW REGIME THUS WILL MAINTAIN 5 PERCENT SEVERE PROBS. SPC is thinking we could see some good activity tomorrow afternoon, I bolded the info pertaining to us. We might even see an upgrade to moderate risk for tomorrow afternoon.

I expected them around 5:00 or 6:00 am and they got me shortly after 4:00. Both Hrr and the models had them coming through with the warm front but NWS for some reason did not pick up on them or did not include in the forecast.
