    Mesoscale Discussion 0012

    Areas affected...Portions of OH...far northern WV...and western PA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 081854Z - 082100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong/gusty downdraft winds could produce isolated damage
    through the afternoon and early evening. Watch issuance will
    probably not be needed, but radar trends will be closely monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough
    and exit region of a 90-100+ kt mid-level jet is beginning to
    overspread the OH Valley and lower Great Lakes region per water
    vapor and visible satellite imagery. A recent increase in showers
    and thunderstorms has occurred over northwestern OH along/near a
    cold front, and this activity is expected to continue increasing in
    coverage as it moves eastward around 35-40 kt through the remainder
    of the afternoon and early evening. Low-level moisture observed in
    the 12Z ILN and PIT soundings was quite limited, and 18Z surface
    dewpoints generally remain in the mid 40s due to mixing of the
    boundary layer. Still, some diurnal heating and related steepening
    of low-level lapse rates has occurred. Strong flow in the
    cloud-bearing layer, particularly at mid levels, could potentially
    be brought to the surface in convective downdrafts. Resultant
    strong/gusty surface winds may produce isolated damage, even with
    the strongest observed winds probably remaining in the 35-50 kt
    range. The limited low-level moisture and weak instability (MLCAPE
    less than 500 J/kg) should tend to limit the strength of updrafts.
    For now, watch issuance remains unlikely, but radar trends will be
    closely monitored.
