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.
