    Mesoscale Discussion 1510
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0126 PM CDT Tue Oct 02 2018

    Areas affected...Western/central Pennsylvania...Eastern Ohio...far
    northern West Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 021826Z - 022030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Initial convective development is occurring in eastern
    Ohio/western Pennsylvania. Storm coverage is expected to increase by
    3-4 EDT. Initial semi-discrete storm mode will be capable of all
    severe hazards. A WW may be needed in the next hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...Current visible satellite shows relatively few breaks
    within the cloud cover across western/central Pennsylvania and
    eastern Ohio. Areas that have remained relatively clear have heated
    to the mid- to upper-70s, contributing to 1000-1500 J/kg. Areas of
    cumulus development along/near a confluence axis in eastern Ohio and
    western Pennsylvania shows that convective inhibition has nearly
    been eliminated. With the approach of an upstream mid-level wave,
    storm coverage should continue to increase by 3-4 PM EDT. Strong
    flow aloft is contributing to effective deep-layer shear of 30-40
    kts. Initial storm development is expected to be semi-discrete,
    posing a threat for damaging wind gusts and isolated severe hail.
    Modest mid-level lapse rates should limit overall hail potential. At
    low levels, per radar VAD profiles within the discussion area, while
    hodograph curvature is modest, strong flow just off the surface has
    contributed to 100-200 m2/s2 of 0-3 km SRH. Given the wind fields
    and overall moist environment, the strongest discrete storms will be
    capable of producing a tornado or two. A WW may be needed within the
    next hour or two.
