Areas affected...Northeast OH...northwest PA...western NY...northern
WV Panhandle

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 271647Z - 271845Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Locally damaging winds are possible this afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A small storm cluster has recently intensified
near/north of Cleveland. With some heating/destabilization ongoing
downstream of this cluster, maintenance or some intensification of
these storms cannot be ruled out this afternoon, with additional
development possible farther south with time across eastern OH into
western PA. 

Deep-layer shear is rather weak, but MLCAPE increasing above 1500
J/kg, 20-30 kt of southwesterly flow in the 1-3 km AGL layer, and
gradually steepening low-level lapse rates could support localized
strong/damaging gusts through the afternoon. The greatest short-term
threat is expected near Lake Erie, but trends will be monitored for
a potential increase in storm coverage with time.
