    Mesoscale Discussion 1388
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0155 PM CDT Wed Aug 29 2018

    Areas affected...Central and Eastern Ohio...Western Pennsylvania

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 291855Z - 292130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible with
    stronger cores embedded within a squall line. A WW issuance is not
    expected at this time.

    DISCUSSION...A cold front extending from far northern New England,
    across Lake Erie, to east-central Indiana, is moving southeastward,
    providing enough low-level convergence to support deep-moist
    convection along much of the front.

    The ambient kinematic environment is characterized by nearly
    unidirectional shear throughout the troposphere (with marginal speed
    shear in the 0-3km layer), resulting in 30 knot bulk effective shear
    vectors oriented roughly normal to the cold front. As such, linear
    storm structures are expected to be the predominant mode throughout
    the afternoon. Despite poor mid-level lapse rates (mainly under 5
    C/km), deep moisture within the sfc-850 mb layer, along with
    temperatures in the upper 80s, are contributing to 1500-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE across the discussion area, supporting the potential for
    updrafts of modest intensity/organization when factoring in the 30
    knots of effective bulk shear. The weaker low-level shear and poor
    mid-level lapse rates suggest that isolated damaging wind gusts
    associated with water-loaded downdrafts will be the primary severe
    threat for the next few hours.

    Given the isolated and marginal extent of the severe threat, a WW
    issuance is not currently anticipated.
