    Areas affected...Parts of western/central PA...eastern/central
    OH...and far northern WV

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

    Valid 041736Z - 042000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The risk of severe thunderstorms capable of producing
    widely scattered wind damage will increase over the next few hours.
    A watch is likely this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Boundary-layer cumulus is gradually deepening along a
    lake breeze boundary southeast of Lake Erie, and within a zone of
    broadly confluent low-level flow extending into central OH.
    Continued diurnal heating amid lower 70s dewpoints will support
    widely scattered thunderstorm development in these zones of
    mesoscale ascent over the next few hours, given an uncapped air
    mass. While around 20 kt of effective shear will limit thunderstorm organization, steep low/mid-level lapse rates (sampled by earlier
    12Z soundings) and increasing deep-layer moisture will promote
    scattered damaging wind gusts with loosely organized clusters and
    cells. A watch is likely for parts of the area this afternoon.
