...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF AL AND

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
AND NRN HIGH PLAINS...

...AL AND VICINITY...
CENTER OF T.D. FAY IS INDICATED OVER SRN MS ATTM...WITH STRONGEST
CONVECTION WELL E OF THE CENTER ACROSS NRN AND ERN AL/GA/THE FL
PANHANDLE. GREATEST THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES SHOULD PERSIST
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL AL...WHERE MOST FAVORABLE
JUXTAPOSITION OF INSTABILITY AND LOW-LEVEL SHEAR EXISTS. FOR
ADDITIONAL SHORT-TERM INFORMATION...PLEASE REFER TO SWOMCD #2149.

...PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND NRN HIGH PLAINS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF THE FRONT RANGE THIS AFTERNOON......BUT MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS
FURTHER E INTO THE PLAINS REMAINS CAPPED. PRESENCE OF THIS
CAP...ONLY MODEST LOW-LEVEL UPSLOPE COMPONENT...AND OVERALL
LARGE-SCALE RIDGING SUGGESTS THAT STORM COVERAGE SHOULD BE LIMITED
-- AND THAT STORMS MAY STRUGGLE TO MOVE APPRECIABLY OFF THE HIGHER
TERRAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

THIS EVENING...THE SELY LOW-LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN A
BIT...PERHAPS ALLOWING SOME SEWD PROPAGATION OF STORMS. COMBINATION
OF ROUGHLY 20 KT NWLY FLOW AT MID LEVELS FROM NRN CO NWD ATOP
INCREASING LOW-LEVEL SELYS WOULD RESULT IN SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR A
FEW STRONGER/ORGANIZED STORMS. THUS...WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT RISK
OVER THE HIGH PLAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POTENTIAL THAT WIND/HAIL
THREAT COULD INCREASE/SPREAD SEWD BY THIS EVENING.

...LOWER GREAT LAKES/MID AND UPPER OH VALLEY REGION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED INVOF COLD FRONT
THIS AFTERNOON...WITHIN A NARROW AXIS OF INSTABILITY EXTENDING FROM
SRN ONTARIO SWWD ACROSS LK ERIE INTO THE LOWER OH/MID MS VALLEY
REGION. MODERATE INSTABILITY IS INDICATED FROM ROUGHLY SRN IN
SWWD...BUT INSTABILITY IS WEAKER FROM SWRN OH NEWD WHERE SLIGHTLY
ENHANCED FLOW ALOFT IS OBSERVED. WHILE SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD
REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...WILL MAINTAIN 5%
PROBABILITY FOR LOCALLY GUSTY/DAMAGING WINDS IN/NEAR THE STRONGEST
CELLS.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 861...

VALID 241955Z - 242130Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 861 CONTINUES.

WIDELY SCATTERED DISCRETE CELLS -- SOME OF WHICH HAVE SHOWN
INTERMITTENT LOW LEVEL ROTATION -- CONTINUE TO MOVE NWD TO NNWWD
ACROSS WW AREA. MOST INTENSE OF THESE DURING LAST 1-2 HOURS HAS
RESULTED IN AT LEAST TWO TORNADO REPORTS OVER PORTIONS ELMORE/COOSA
COUNTIES AL.

19Z SFC MESOANALYSIS SHOWED PRONOUNCED AXIS OF SFC HEATING -- WITH
TEMPS MID 80S F -- NEAR VPS-MGM-TCL LINE. TWO SFC TROUGHS WERE
ANALYZED -- ONE EXTENDING ESEWD FROM SERN MS WHERE FAY IS
CENTERED...TO NEAR MAI...N OF WHICH SFC WINDS BACK FROM SLY TO SELY.
NRN TROUGH EXTENDS FROM CENTER NEWD TO NEAR EET-AND-VPC...N OF WHICH
WINDS BACK FURTHER TO NELY. EACH TROUGH SHOULD PIVOT NWD AROUND ERN
SEMICIRCLE OF CIRCULATION. MOST FAVORABLE OVERLAP OF
SHEAR...BUOYANCY...AND RELATIVELY DISCRETE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FOR
SUPERCELLS CONTINUES TO SHIFT NWWD ACROSS WW AREA...GENERALLY NEAR
NRN SFC TROUGH AND INVOF THERMAL AXIS. THREAT MAY SHIFT NWWD
OVER/PAST BHM AREA BEFORE DIMINISHING. MODIFIED RUC SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST AROUND 250-700 J/KG MLCAPE AND 150-250 J/KG OF 0-1 KM SRH
OVERLAPPING OVER THIS AREA. ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR SHOULD DIMINISH
SLOWLY WITH TIME BUT REMAIN FAVORABLE THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z.
THEREFORE...POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR SMALL SUPERCELLS AND A FEW MORE
TORNADOES.

ALTHOUGH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE GENERALLY IS INCREASING OVER SERN
PORTION OF WW AND ADJACENT AREAS OF FL PANHANDLE...LOW LEVEL WINDS
AND SIZE OF HODOGRAPHS IS DECREASING PER TRENDS IN VWP. THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE FROM HERE ON...AS CENTER OF FAY CONTINUES TO FILL AND MOVE
SLOWLY FARTHER AWAY FROM THIS AREA. TORNADO POTENTIAL ACCORDINGLY
WILL BECOME MORE MRGL/CONDITIONAL WITH TIME OVER SERN AL AND SWRN
GA...BUT SLOWLY. THEREFORE WW SHOULD BE CLEARED WITH CAUTION.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 241948Z - 242145Z

TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE FROM NCENTRAL CO
INTO NERN WY/BLACK HILLS OF SD THROUGH 22Z. A FEW OF THE TSTMS MAY
POSE A THREAT FOR SVR HAIL/DMGG WINDS. NRN PORTIONS OF THE AREA IS
BEING MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE WW.

TSTMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NCENTRAL CO/SCENTRAL WY...WHERE MODEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG
THE LEE TROUGH IS COMBINED WITH INCREASING DIURNAL UPSLOPE FLOW.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND THE PLATTEVILLE PROFILER INDICATE THAT
RELATIVELY WEAK MID LEVEL WINDS /AOB 10 KTS/ WILL LIMIT ANY
POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING UPDRAFTS IN NERN CO SERN WY FOOTHILLS...FRONT
RANGE AND HIGH PLAINS. HOWEVER...THE COMBINATION OF STEEP LOW-MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND SOME DIRECTIONAL SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST
THE POTENTIAL FOR MARGINAL SVR WIND/HAIL. IN ADDITION...SLOW STORM
MOTIONS AND RELATIVELY HIGH PWAT VALUES WILL SUPPORT THE THREAT FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES.

FURTHER NORTH...SLIGHTLY STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW OVER NERN WY/WRN SD
EXISTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SUBTLE VORT MAX ROTATING EWD AROUND
THE UPPER RIDGE. SFC CONVERGENCE INVOF OF A SFC LOW EAST OF THE BIG
HORN MTNS AND UPSLOPE FLOW /ESPECIALLY OVER THE BLACK HILLS/
COMBINED WITH WEAKENING CINH /LESS THAN 100 J/KG AT 19Z OVER THE
BLACK HILLS/ SHOULD AID IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT IN THIS REGION BETWEEN
21-22Z. STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR /AROUND 35 KTS/ OWING TO 20 KT MID
LEVEL WINDS WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR GREATER TSTM
ORGANIZATION. ADDITIONALLY...MODERATE INSTABILITY /MLCAPE AROUND
2000 J/KG/ WILL AID IN STRONG UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HAIL/DMGG WINDS. MAIN UNCERTAINTY ATTM FOR WW ISSUANCE IN THIS
REGION IS HOW FAR EAST OF HIGHER TERRAIN WILL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
OCCUR /GIVEN INCREASING CINH AS NOTED BY THE 19Z RAP SOUNDING/ AND
THUS AREAL COVERAGE OF SVR THREAT.

VALID 251200Z - 261200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
STRONG/PROGRESSIVE UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE NWRN
U.S. THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHILE A SECOND MOVES STEADILY EWD ACROSS
THE NERN CONUS.

AT THE SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ERN FEATURE
SHOULD CROSS NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE DAY...MOVING OFFSHORE DURING
THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...A STRONG COLD FRONT -- ASSOCIATED WITH
THE WRN TROUGH -- IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EWD/SEWD...CROSSING MT AND
MOVING INTO WY/NRN UT BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

ELSEWHERE...REMNANTS OF FAY SHOULD LINGER OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY
REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD.

...CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
LARGE-SCALE RIDGING IS FORECAST TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD OVER
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE OVERALL CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL.

STRONG HEATING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON IS LIKELY TO YIELD AROUND 2000
J/KG MIXED-LAYER CAPE ABOVE A CAPPED BOUNDARY LAYER.
HOWEVER...BOUNDARY-LAYER MIXING COMBINED WITH WEAK SELY UPSLOPE
COMPONENT COULD RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STORMS
BY LATE AFTERNOON. WHILE FLOW ALOFT WILL NOT BE PARTICULARLY
STRONG...PRONOUNCED VEERING WITH HEIGHT MAY RESULT IN SUFFICIENT
SHEAR FOR SOME ORGANIZATION WITHIN ANY STORM WHICH DOES DEVELOP --
AND THUS WILL MAINTAIN A LOW-PROBABILITY THREAT AREA FOR HAIL AND/OR
WIND.

...ELSEWHERE...
REMNANTS OF FAY SHOULD REMAIN INVOF SRN MS THROUGH THIS PERIOD PER
LATEST NHC FORECASTS...WITH A SLOW WEAKENING TREND FORECAST. WHILE
AMPLE SHEAR WITHIN THE ERN HALF OF THE REMNANT CIRCULATION MAY
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED/BRIEF
TORNADO OR TWO...WILL NOT INTRODUCE A SEVERE PROBABILITY AREA THIS
FORECAST AS TORNADO THREAT APPEARS ATTM TO BE LESS THEN 5%.

MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD. WHILE FLOW ALOFT COULD
SUPPORT SOME SEVERE POTENTIAL...VERY LIMITED INSTABILITY IS FORECAST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. DUE TO THE LACK OF INSTABILITY...AND EARLY
PASSAGE OF THE BOUNDARY THROUGH MOST OF NEW ENGLAND...WILL NOT
INTRODUCE A SEVERE PROBABILITY AREA ATTM.

TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 861
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1145 AM CDT SUN AUG 24 2008

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA
SOUTHWESTERN AND EXTREME WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA

EFFECTIVE THIS SUNDAY MORNING AND EVENING FROM 1145 AM UNTIL 900
PM CDT.

TORNADOES...HAIL TO 0.5 INCH IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS TO 70 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE
AREAS.

THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 75 STATUTE
MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 20 MILES SOUTHEAST OF DOTHAN
ALABAMA TO 15 MILES NORTH OF BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA. FOR A COMPLETE
DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).

REMEMBER...A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

DISCUSSION...DESPITE WEAKENING CENTRAL REGION...OUTER PORTIONS OF
RESIDUAL TD FAY CIRCULATION CONTINUE TO SHOW FAVORABLE SHEAR FOR
SUPERCELLS WITH ONLY GRADUAL WEAKENING OF WINDS JUST ABOVE GROUND
LEVEL THROUGH AFTERNOON/EVENING...AND 0-1 KM SRH REMAINING IN
200-400 J/KG OVER MUCH OF WW AREA. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FCST TO
INCREASE IN VERY MOIST AND WEAKLY CAPPED AIR MASS...INCLUDING
ADDITIONAL MINI-SUPERCELLS WITH INCREASING RISK OF A FEW TORNADOES.

AVIATION...TORNADOES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL
SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 0.5 INCH. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE
WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO
500. MEAN STORM MOTION VECTOR 16035.

...CENTRAL GULF COAST...
WIND FIELDS AROUND REMNANTS OF FAY CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS
THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION MOVES SLOWLY FURTHER INLAND. HOWEVER
SHEAR PROFILES REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR LOW LEVEL ROTATION PROVIDED
SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP FOR FORMATION OF STRONG UPDRAFTS.
SINCE SOME MID LEVEL DRYING HAS ROTATED AROUND THE CENTER AND
INLAND ACROSS AL...SURFACE TEMPS ARE CLIMBING THRU THE LOW/MID 80S
WHICH COULD RAISE MLCAPES TO AOA 500-750 J/KG. THUS WILL BUMP UP
THE TORNADO PROBABILITIES SOME THRU THE AFTERNOON AND ADD A SLIGHT
RISK.

FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THIS AREA REFER TO MCD 2147.

...CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS SPREAD UPSLOPE INTO HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NERN
CO/ERN WY. WITH THE PRESENCE OF AN ELEVATED MIX LAYER WITH LAPSE
RATES IN EXCESS OF 9C/KM REF BOU AND RIW 12Z SOUNDINGS...THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF MDT INSTABILITY DURING THE
AFTERNOON VICINITY ERN WY BORDER INTO NERN CO.

DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF AROUND 30KT IS MARGINAL FOR OTHER THAN
MULTICELLULAR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. BUT WITH MLCAPES TO 2000
J/KG A FEW STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP BY 21Z
WITH LARGE HAIL AND BRIEF DOWNBURST WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT.

ACTIVITY WILL BE SLOW TO SPREAD EWD INTO HIGH PLAINS GIVEN THE
GENERALLY WEAK NWLY STEERING FLOW AND GREATER CINH.

AND LK BREEZE BOUNDARIES OVER PARTS OF OH...PA AND NY. WEAK
DEEP SHEAR WILL FAVOR PULSE/MULTICELL STRUCTURES. RELATIVELY STEEP
LOW LVL LAPSE RATES MAY SUPPORT A THREAT OF ISOLD STRONG WIND GUSTS
THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

BRIEF/SPORADIC SUPERCELLS MAY DEVELOP WITH OUTER BANDS REVOLVING
AROUND REMAINS OF TS FAY. TORNADO POTENTIAL IS WEAK/MRGL ATTM BUT
MAY INCREASE THROUGH MID-LATE AFTERNOON.

SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS DIFFUSE LOW OVER SERN MS BETWEEN PIB-MEI...WITH
WEAK CENTRAL WINDS AND FILLING PRESSURE AS CIRCULATION OF FAY
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. LOW-MIDLEVEL REMAINS OF TS FAY HAVE BECOME
INTERMINGLED WITH PRE-EXISTING MID-UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT PIVOTED

COINCIDE WITH WEAKENING OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR...A TREND ALREADY EVIDENT
IN DECREASE OF SELY NOCTURNAL LLJ FROM VWP SITES OVER SERN AND

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0751 AM CDT SUN AUG 24 2008

VALID 241300Z - 251200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER THE CNTRL/NRN HI PLNS...

...SYNOPSIS...
RIDGE WILL PERSIST OVER THE FOUR CORNERS THIS PERIOD AS STRONG NE
PACIFIC TROUGH PROGRESSES E INTO BC/WRN WA. DOWNSTREAM TROUGH NOW
OVER ONTARIO AND THE UPR GRT LKS WILL BE REINFORCED BY IMPULSE NOW
APPROACHING LK SUPERIOR. THE TROUGH SHOULD REACH SRN QUEBEC BY 12Z
MONDAY. ELSEWHERE...WV LOOP SHOWS A DISTURBANCE NOW OVER NW WY/SRN
MT THAT SHOULD CONTINUE E/SE AROUND NERN FRINGE OF UPR RIDGE LATER
TODAY/TONIGHT. FINALLY...T.D. FAY EXPECTED TO REMAIN MORE OR LESS
STNRY OVER SRN MS AS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MERGE WITH WEAK UPR
DISTURBANCE THAT MOVED SE ACROSS AR/LA EARLIER TODAY.

...CNTRL HI PLNS...
LEE TROUGH WILL BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED OVER THE CNTRL HI PLNS
TODAY AS LARGE SCALE TROUGH APPROACHES THE PACIFIC NW. ASSOCIATED
INCREASE IN LOW LVL SSELY FLOW WILL ALLOW UPR 50S TO LOW 60S F
DEWPOINTS TO SPREAD NNW THROUGH WRN NEB...SW SD...AND ERN WY BENEATH
NERN FRINGE OF RCKYS EML. COUPLED WITH STRONG SFC HEATING...EXPECT
AFTN SBCAPE ACROSS REGION TO RANGE FROM 1500 TO 2500 J/KG.

EML WARM LAYER AND ABSENCE OF LOW LVL FORCING LIKELY SHOULD KEEP THE
PLNS FREE OF DEEP CONVECTION THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. BUT
HEATING...WEAK UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO FLOW...AND ASCENT ASSOCIATED
WITH WY/MT IMPULSE SHOULD SUPPORT SCTD AFTN STORMS OVER HIGHER
TERRAIN JUST TO THE WEST. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE/DEVELOP SE INTO
THE PLNS BY EVE...BEFORE SUBSEQUENTLY WEAKENING AS BOUNDARY LAYER
COOLS AND UPR IMPULSE CONTINUES E BEYOND AXIS OF GREATEST LOW LVL
INSTABILITY.

20 KT WNWLY MID LVL WINDS ATOP 15-20 KT SSELY NEAR-SFC FLOW COULD
SUPPORT A FEW ORGANIZED STORMS/MARGINAL SUPERCELLS. THESE COULD
YIELD LARGE HAIL...LOCALLY DMGG WIND...AND PERHAPS A BRIEF TORNADO.

...CNTRL GULF CST...
VWP AND RAOB DATA SHOW THAT DEEP WIND FIELD WITH FAY HAS WEAKENED
OVERNIGHT...AND WINDS OVER AL/MS AND LA SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
WEAKEN TODAY. A MID LVL DRY SLOT HAS OVERSPREAD PARTS OF AL AND THE
FL PANHANDLE AS SYSTEM INTERACTED WITH MID LATITUDE IMPULSE THAT
CROSSED AR/LA. ASSOCIATED EROSION OF DEEP CLOUD FIELD WILL ALLOW
FOR MORE SUBSTANTIAL SFC HEATING IN SE QUADRANT OF REMNANT LOW LVL
CIRCULATION THAN HAS BEEN THE CASE IN RECENT DAYS. WHILE THIS MAY
SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF BANDS/CLUSTERS OF DIURNALLY- ENHANCED
CONVECTION/POSSIBLE STORMS...WARM 700-500 MB TEMPERATURES SHOULD
LIMIT COVERAGE/STRENGTH.

EXTRAPOLATION OF CURRENT PATTERN SUGGEST THAT SOME MID LVL COLD
ADVECTION COULD OVERSPREAD THE CNTRL GULF CST THIS EVE AND TONIGHT
AS PART OF FORMER AR/LA IMPULSE THAT IS NOW OVER THE NW/N CNTRL GULF
ROTATES NEWD. THIS FEATURE APPEARS...IN PART...TO BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR TSTMS NOW OVER THE GULF S OF LA...AND COULD ENHANCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR EVE/OVERNIGHT STORMS IN SRN MS/SRN AL AND THE FL
PANHANDLE. MODERATE DEEP SHEAR WILL EXIST ACROSS THAT REGION AT
THAT TIME...ALTHOUGH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LOW LVL DIRECTIONAL
COMPONENT WILL BE REDUCED RELATIVE TO WHAT IT HAS BEEN INVOF FAY IN
RECENT DAYS. NEVERTHELESS...GIVEN RICH MOISTURE
AVAILABILITY...PARTS OF THE CNTRL GULF CST REGION COULD REQUIRE
UPGRADE TO CATEGORICAL SVR RISK LATER TODAY IF IT BECOMES APPARENT
THAT SUSTAINED DISCRETE STORMS WILL INDEED OCCUR THIS EVE/OVERNIGHT.

...NE OH/NW PA INTO WRN/CNTRL NY...
GLANCING INFLUENCE OF UPR IMPULSE REINFORCING ONTARIO TROUGH WILL
ENHANCE UVV ACROSS THE LWR GRT LKS REGION LATER TODAY. A NARROW
AXIS OF MODEST INSTABILITY LIKELY WILL DEVELOP ALONG ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT...BUT WEAK MID LVL LAPSE RATES WILL LIMIT SBCAPE TO
GENERALLY AROUND 1000 J/KG. SCTD STORMS SHOULD FORM ALONG THE FRONT
AND LK BREEZE BOUNDARIES OVER PARTS OF OH...PA AND NY. WEAK
DEEP SHEAR WILL FAVOR PULSE/MULTICELL STRUCTURES. RELATIVELY STEEP
LOW LVL LAPSE RATES MAY SUPPORT A THREAT OF ISOLD STRONG WIND GUSTS
THROUGH EARLY EVENING.
