    Mesoscale Discussion 1964

    1037 AM CDT Sat Aug 12 2023

    Areas affected...northern Indiana into much of northwest
    Ohio...western Pennsylvania...western New York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 121537Z - 121800Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are likely to develop along the cold front over the
    next several hours. Supercells will be capable of damaging hail, and
    a few tornadoes from northeast Ohio into Pennsylvania and southern
    New York. Damaging winds may also develop with time.

    DISCUSSION...A cold front is moving southward into northern IN and
    toward northwest OH, and visible satellite shows a zone of heating
    ahead of the front. Southwest winds will continue to aid moisture
    advection, beneath cool midlevel temperatures. The result should be
    storms increasing in coverage along the front by early to mid
    afternoon, rapidly becoming severe and producing large hail and
    damaging gusts. Wind profiles will favor supercell storm mode, but
    bowing segments may develop with time. Low-level shear will likely
    be sufficient for a few tornadoes across the region, as 0-1 km SRH
    remains around 100 m2/s2. Near Lake Erie, locally enhanced shear is
    possible which may aid storms moving roughly parallel to the lake
    shore, but also with a slight component to the right.

    Notably, an expansive CU field has developed over northeast OH,
    western PA and into western NY, with billowing clouds within the
    boundary layer. This is the zone of best supercell tornado potential
    with favorable low-level shear, good low-level CAPE, favorable
    hodographs for supercells and developing low-level vorticity along
    the boundaries.
