Valid 171812Z - 171945Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 122 continues. SUMMARY...Storms moving into northwest OH may intensify the next 1-2 hours. All severe hazards remain possible across Tornado Watch 122. A downstream watch will likely be needed in the next couple of hours across eastern OH into western PA. DISCUSSION...Convection has slowly intensified into early afternoon as storms move into a somewhat more unstable airmass. Stronger heating has allowed low-level lapse rates to steepen ahead of the line of convection. This will support potential for increasing gusts. Furthermore, low-level instability remains quite large, with 0-3 km MLCAPE greater than 125 J/kg. Regional VWP data shows enlarged, and favorably curved low-level hodographs, and low-level rotation has been noted in velocity signatures via region radars. Further intensification of these cells is expected over the next couple hours across northwest into central Ohio.=20 As convection continues eastward, a similar environment is expected to extend across parts of eastern OH into western PA. A downstream watch will likely be needed by 20z/4pm EDT. ...Leitman.. 04/17/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8lyZ2PdLFyByWBNUwwC7yJm8rEKj_Y1WKgp5oJfBfqI-SYYCMPlSo5Su7ky_6tuS7m0aZ13fn= oxorwf7grQDleLi-3w$ for graphic product...
