Areas affected...Southeast Ohio...western West Virginia...far
southwestern Pennsylvania
Concerning...Tornado Watch 67...
Valid 232035Z - 232230Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 67 continues.
SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging winds remain possible with
supercell thunderstorms in West Virginia and southeast Ohio. The
tornado threat will be greatest along the West Virginia/Ohio border
with more limited potential to the south and east.
DISCUSSION...Supercell thunderstorms continue to move northeastward
into West Virginia from Kentucky. These storms will remain capable
of large hail and damaging wind gusts. KPBZ and KRLX VAD winds
continue to show 200-300 m2/s2 SRH which will continue to support
some threat for tornadoes. At present, the greatest potential for a
tornado over the next 1-2 hours will be along the West Virginia and
Ohio border. The storm near Point Pleasant will continue northeast
where temperatures are in the mid 70s F and dewpoints in the mid 50s
F. Another severe storm south of Charleston will also progress into
a similar environment in the short term. However, temperatures
farther downstream are cooler and stable boundary-layer clouds are
evident on visible satellite. The tornado threat with this southern
storm will likely be shorter in duration.
