Multiple rounds of storms are possible, with damaging gusts as the main threat, though a couple of tornadoes are also possible. A WW issuance will eventually be needed. DISCUSSION...Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are percolating in intensity as they traverse a pronounced west-to-east oriented baroclinic boundary positioned from eastern OH into central PA. With continued surface heating and the approach of a 500 mb vort max over the Great Lakes, storms should continue to increase in coverage and intensity into early afternoon. 40+ kts of effective bulk shear, driven by strengthening 700-500 mb flow approaching from the west, will support organized updrafts amid 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. More discrete storms could become supercellular, posing the threat for damaging gusts and perhaps a couple of tornadoes or instances of large hail. It is also possible that an MCS (perhaps even a bow echo) could develop over central PA later today, which could support a corridor of narrow but focused damaging gusts along the baroclinic boundary.=20 A WW issuance will likely be needed in the next couple of hours to address the increasing severe threat. ...Squitieri/Hart.. 08/06/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6Z1Y24UPV1TiF1unse5DZgNW2dZTjd2j5grSUvUWHpfJNbzxSel8G2BmPPqTnxJppfqmbulHZ= Dtd9SuME340bK0D3Fk$ for graphic product...
