A watch is possible for parts of the area. DISCUSSION...Latest Day Cloud Phase satellite imagery indicates a corridor of deepening convective towers and isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development across southeastern OH, western WV, and southwestern PA this afternoon. Weakly confluent boundary-layer winds and continued diurnal heating of a moist air mass (upper 60s surface dewpoints) should favor additional thunderstorm development through the afternoon. While modest midlevel lapse rates may limit initial updraft intensity to an extent, 30-40 kt southwesterly midlevel winds (per regional VWP) could favor several loosely organized clusters capable of wind damage (and isolated hail) -- aided by steepening low-level lapse rates and water-loading. Coverage and intensity of severe storms is somewhat unclear, though convective trends will be monitored for a possible watch across parts of the area this afternoon. ...Weinman/Bunting.. 07/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6O35dxqE4bJ-Kky8GdwOplHPsmS_lBxHqfhAVuOl41evQl_NQuEtCIeuNkvj47YWjRv6niWQ5= KIrSe-sOxkStxw6dFQ$ for graphic product...
