Valid 250602Z - 250800Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 657 continues. SUMMARY...Risk for damaging wind gusts continues across the Upper Ohio Valley area and into the central Appalachians -- in and near WW 657. DISCUSSION...Latest composite radar loop shows widespread thunderstorms across central and northern Ohio, western and central Pennsylvania, and the West Virginia Panhandle. Aside from a cluster of slightly elevated/post-outflow storms over northwestern Ohio, the storms are largely organized into a few distinct bands. Two of these bands have been slower-moving, and are now crossing the higher terrain of the Appalachians in Pennsylvania. Weakening of these bands has been noted with time, as storms encounter more stable air along (and east of) the highest terrain. Meanwhile, a fast-moving, bowing band of storms continues moving rapidly southeastward across eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with the fastest-moving portion of the band over western Pennsylvania advancing at around 55 kt. Several reports of wind damage have been reported over the last 1 to 2 hours with this band. With that said, as this band impinges on the aforementioned, slower-moving lines of convection to the east, and encounters the more stable air downstream, a gradual weakening trend is expected to begin over the next couple of hours. With that said, in the short term, damaging wind gusts are expected to continue as storms advance southeastward. ...Goss.. 08/25/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7r6sYVXaUYrb5Xrc-Ar3FrcfDH1GKX9_bvhkV4Wt9F5YWcJGgukxQyE_OVlt-TzJWTRhP8TsB= 0CgIPrB-uFa6s-TrA4$ for graphic product...
