RitualOfTheTrout Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 At this point I'm wondering do we look to break some records and see snow in May? Today certainly looked like winter and even managed some snow accumulation during the day. Pretty impressive for April 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatwad Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0391 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 PM CDT Sat May 12 2018 Areas affected...Central and eastern OH/western to south-central PA/northern WV/MD Panhandle Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 121751Z - 122015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...A severe thunderstorm watch will be needed this afternoon into the evening for parts of central and eastern Ohio to central Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and the Maryland Panhandle. Strong to severe storms are expected to develop by 3-4 PM EDT across central and eastern Ohio into western Pennsylvania, and spread to the east-southeast producing damaging wind as the primary threat. DISCUSSION...Early afternoon surface analysis showed a front extending from central IN through central OH (north of KDAY and south of KMFD and KCAK) and into western PA (between KPIT and KBTP) to an area of low pressure near KDUJ. A warm front extended southeast from this low into northern MD (near or east of KHGR) to central DE (between KDOV and KGED). Ongoing strong diabatic heating across the warm sector has resulted in sufficient weakening of surface-based CINH per modified PIT 12Z sounding with current surface conditions. This has resulted in the development of an extensive cumulus and moderate cumulus field across central and southeast OH into western and southwest PA. Boundary layer moistening combined with the strong heating and steepening lapse rates will support further destabilization with MUCAPE already ranging from 1500-2000 J/kg. Timing of an MCV, currently located in west-central OH, suggests an increase in forcing for ascent with this feature will proceed into the OH and far western PA portion of the discussion area by 19-21Z. This will support thunderstorm development, while a favorable CAPE/shear environment (with 50-kt westerly winds at 3 km per wind data at PIT and CTP) favors primarily a linear storm mode, producing damaging winds. ..Peters/Grams.. 05/12/2018 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mailman Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0395 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0405 PM CDT Sat May 12 2018 Areas affected...Southeast OH/western and southern PA/western and northern MD/northern WV/far northern VA Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 84... Valid 122105Z - 122300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 84 continues. SUMMARY...Severe storms producing damaging wind and hail persist across much of WW 84 late this afternoon. Northern portions of this watch should be able to be cleared first, though storms currently moving into the northwest part of WW 84 preclude any clearing of counties at this time. DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery showed a leading broken band of storms extending from south-central PA (Huntingdon County) to central OH (Muskingum County). Some of these storms have been severe, thus far, producing large hail and damaging winds. Forcing for ascent attendant to a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) will continue to advance from eastern OH through southern PA and northern MD through this evening. This combined with moderate instability and strong effective bulk shear along and south of the leading band of storms will support a continued severe weather threat with the stronger storms. Meanwhile, a second shorter band of storms was located from northern Beaver County, PA to Holmes County, OH, with this activity appearing to be co-located with the MCV. The Beaver County storm was moving to the east at 45 kt and could pose a severe threat. However, this activity may be slightly elevated as it is located north of a wind shift. Locally strong winds and/or hail cannot be ruled out, though the overall severe threat across the far northwest to north-central part of WW 84 may be diminishing. ..Peters.. 05/12/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailman Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0398 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1256 PM CDT Sun May 13 2018 Areas affected...portions of southeast OH...northern WV including Panhandle...western MD...southwest PA...northwest VA Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 131756Z - 132000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms may develop this afternoon and move southeast, with a risk for large hail and damaging winds. A tornado or two will also be possible. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed prior to 20Z/4 pm EDT. DISCUSSION...Mesoanalysis at 17Z placed a nearly stationary front through central portions of OH and extending east/southeast into far northern VA. Strong diabatic heating of a moist boundary layer (lower/mid 60s surface dew points) combined with relatively steep mid-level lapse rates will result in pockets of moderate surface-based instability by mid afternoon. Latest visible imagery shows deepening cumulus clouds near/south of the front, and continued heating combined with weak frontal convergence should contribute to isolated thunderstorm development this afternoon. Veering flow in the lowest 1-2 KM becomes largely unidirectional within the bulk of the cloud-bearing layer, with deep-layer shear ranging between 35-45 kts. Initial thunderstorm development may pose a risk for large hail and damaging winds. Slightly more favorable low-level shear near the front would suggest at least some risk for a tornado, especially within the first few hours of initiation. With time, a couple of small clusters of storms may move southeast with a risk for severe hail/wind. The area is being monitored for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, which may be needed prior to 20Z. ..Bunting/Grams.. 05/13/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Looks like we have gotten off to a good start with severe storm tracking. I have had some good overnight storms recently. They are my favorite when you can just lie in bed and hear the rain and thunder and watch the lightning light up the room. I am heading out to the golf course at 2:00.

Mailman Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0408 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1056 AM CDT Mon May 14 2018 Areas affected...southeast OH...southwest PA...central/northern WV...western MD...and northwest VA Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 141556Z - 141700Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and accelerate east/southeast with a risk for potentially widespread damaging winds. Some risk will also exist for a tornado or two and isolated large hail will also be possible. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be issued prior to 17Z. DISCUSSION...Regional composite radar imagery shows an area of thunderstorms in progress at 1555Z along the PA/OH border, with more isolated development farther west into central OH. These storms are just north of a quasi-stationary composite surface front that extends east-west through central IN/OH and then southeast across eastern VA. Continued diurnal heating of a moist airmass (surface dew points mid-upper 60s) will combine with steep mid-level lapse rates to result in moderate/strong surface-based instability this afternoon. Moderately strong westerly mid-level flow will contribute to deep-layer shear of 35-40 kts across the area. Current expectations are for the cluster of storms to become increasingly organized over the next few hours as updrafts are able to tap increasing boundary layer instability, and possibly merge with storms developing farther west along the front. A forward-propagating linear convective system is expected to develop and moving southeast with a risk for potentially widespread damaging winds. Some risk for a QLCS tornado will also exist, and the stronger updrafts will also be capable of isolated severe hail. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed prior to 17Z based on this expected scenario. ..Bunting/Grams.. 05/14/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
