Mesoscale Discussion 0492 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0546 PM CDT Wed Apr 05 2023 Areas affected...Eastern OH...WV Panhandle...Western PA Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 128... Valid 052246Z - 060015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 128 continues. SUMMARY...Gusty winds will continue to be observed with convection this evening. DISCUSSION...Seasonally warm surface temperatures (low-mid 80s) have contributed to very steep low-level lapse rates across the upper OH Valley. Thermodynamic profiles continue to favor gusty downdrafts given the 30F surface temp/dew point spreads. While SBCAPE is somewhat marginal, strong shear and PWs in excess of 1 inch suggest locally strong downbursts may continue into the early evening hours before temperatures begin to cool. Some of this activity may spread into western PA before weakening. ..Darrow.. 04/05/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PBZ...CLE...
