MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1509
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1224 PM CDT SUN JUL 05 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST OHIO...INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 051724Z - 052030Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...STORMS MAY INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON, WITH
ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS OR EVEN A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO.
DISCUSSION...AN MCV/CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE
EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN OH AND INTO NORTHWEST PA/WESTERN NY, WHICH
IS ALSO ALONG THE INSTABILITY GRADIENT. WIND FIELDS ARE GENERALLY
WEAK, BUT MAY BE LOCALLY ENHANCED NEAR THIS FEATURE. THE 12Z BUF
SOUNDING SHOWS A BIT STRONGER DEEP-LAYER SHEAR OVER 30 KT, WHICH MAY
HELP SUSTAIN A FEW CELLS.
AS HEATING OCCURS AHEAD OF THE MCV, A FEW OF THE CELLS MAY ACQUIRE
AT LEAST WEAK ROTATION AND LONGEVITY, WHICH WILL MAXIMIZE DAMAGING
WIND, SMALL/MARGINAL HAIL, AND BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO POTENTIAL. GIVEN
THE WEAKNESS IN THE SHEAR OVERALL, A WATCH IS NOT CURRENTLY
ANTICIPATED.
