0141 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
Areas affected...western PA/NY
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 291841Z - 292045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to
develop this afternoon and persist into the evening. Damaging gusts
will be the main hazard accompanying this activity. A watch may be
needed in the next 1-2 hours.
DISCUSSION...Persistent southwesterly low-level flow has allowed
surface dewpoints to increase by 2-6 degrees F over the past 3 hours
across much of the region, with values now in the upper 50s to low
60s F. Additionally, strong heating into the 80s has resulted in
steepened low-level lapse rates. Modest instability also is
overspreading the region, and a large area of cumulus is evident in
visible satellite imagery. Convection is expected to develop across
western NY over the next couple of hours ahead of the southeast
sagging cold front. Additional development may occur into western
PA. Additionally, an eastward propagating severe thunderstorm
cluster over central Ohio is also expected to persist. This cluster
is tracking east/northeast around 50-60 kt as should arrive at the
OH/PA border by 21z.
Unidirectional vertical wind profiles will continue to favor
clusters/line segments. Steep low-level lapse rates and a mixed
boundary layer will support damaging gusts. Modest midlevel lapse
rates could support isolated hail if any more discrete cells can
develop and be maintained. A severe thunderstorm watch may be needed
in the next 1-2 hours for portions of the MCD area.
