    Mesoscale Discussion 1332
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1145 AM CDT Tue Aug 21 2018

    Areas affected...WV into southwest PA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 211645Z - 211915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong wind gusts will be possible during the
    early afternoon across much of West Virginia into southwest
    Pennsylvania. Given a marginal severe wind threat at this time, a severe-thunderstorm watch is not expected, though trends will be
    monitored for any increase in storm coverage and intensity later
    this afternoon that would warrant greater need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in lightning data and satellite/radar imagery
    showed short line of storms extending from extreme southeast OH
    (Monroe County) into WV (Wirt County), with additional convection
    developing eastward across WV and southwestward into eastern KY.
    Visible imagery indicated skies had become mostly cloudy again
    across much of the discussion area, after a break this morning that
    resulted in pockets of stronger diabatic heating and steepening
    low-level lapse rates per surface observations and objective
    analyses, respectively. Height falls attendant to a trough
    advancing east through the Ohio Valley and 30-40 kt southwesterly
    midlevel winds will continue to support bands of storms forming
    across WV into southwest PA through the early afternoon. Despite a
    high moisture content air mass, limited surface heating is expected
    to inhibit stronger destabilization in the short term and is a
    primary factor precluding the need for watch issuance at this time.
