DISCUSSION...Despite relatively limited low-level moisture (with dewpoints in the mid 50s F), modest diurnal heating has resulted in some destabilization this afternoon across parts of western/central PA, to the south of a differential heating zone/effective warm front across northern PA. Some deepening cumulus has been noted from extreme eastern OH into western PA, in the vicinity of a weak surface trough/confluence zone. A few developing showers in this region may mature into thunderstorms, as they move eastward and downstream MLCAPE increases to near 500 J/kg.=20 Deep-layer flow is rather strong across the region, with 30-50 kt in the 850-700 mb layer, and effective shear of 40-50 kt. Despite the limited instability, this kinematic environment could support some storm organization if convection deepens, especially with any storms in the vicinity of the differential heating zone. Locally gusty/damaging winds and small hail could accompany any stronger cells/clusters within this regime. ...Dean/Hart.. 10/13/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5MzyTnBeRqcv2vuDc6M5HZq7eTFEjtA8ATyxHtQUTvJrS4UVLscLoS4_19cH4V-R-1SNERLJC= dA_PeCIRcddjv4US1Q$ for graphic product...
