Areas affected...Ohio...Far Southwest Pennsylvania...Northwest West
Virginia

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 280925Z - 281030Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat will continue for several hours
across parts of the Ohio Valley this morning. Wind damage, hail and
perhaps a brief tornado or two will be possible. A new weather watch
will need to be issued soon across the region.

DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar imagery from
Wilmington, Ohio shows a line of organizing storms located from
southwest Ohio into southwest Indiana. This line is being supported
by lift associated with a cold front, and shortwave trough evident
on water vapor imagery. The line will continue to progress
east-southeastward over the next several hours, with convection
moving eastward across the remainder of southern Ohio. Weak
instability, along with about 80 kts of 0-6 km shear, evident on the
Wilmington, Ohio WSR-88D VWP, will support an isolated severe
threat. A potential for wind damage and hail will exist with the
stronger cells embedded in the line. A brief tornado or two will be
possible, mainly with rotating cells within or ahead of the stronger
parts of the line.
