A watch issuance is likely for parts of the area in the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...Recent radar data from KDTX depicts a well-organized bowing MCS tracking eastward at around 40 kt in Ontario -- where a recent 63-kt gust was measured. Ahead of the MCS, antecedent diurnal heating of a relatively moist air mass (generally lower/middle 60s dewpoints) has contributed to weak/moderate surface-based instability -- with the greater instability confined to western PA and eastern OH (see 20Z observed PIT and 19Z BUF soundings). 40-50 kt midlevel winds should support continued convective organization as it crosses Lake Erie and approaches western NY, eastern OH, and western PA -- with a risk of severe winds during the next few hours. While there is some uncertainty on how intense the northern portion of the line will be given less instability farther north, the well-established cold pool and favorable deep-layer shear will still pose a risk of severe outflow winds. A watch will likely be issued in the next hour or so. ...Weinman/Hart.. 07/20/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7aOCzHgWJ8qcxuIGiN_PrlZ340PwiZxPv_1bQU1cULoXJNZgLjgV32hlUZvvqtBgqQvQj7wAO= pdDnUvIZJ_YoFzVm4M$ for graphic product...
