I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

SYNOPSIS. Periodic showers and scattered thunderstorms can be expected through tomorrow with the approach and passage of a cold front.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/.
Surface warm front currently just north of PGH will continue to drift north and serve as the main source of convective initiation the remainder of the afternoon. Substantial breaks in the clouds south of the boundary along with substantial WAA has resulted in around 1500j/kg MLCAPE and with substantial (50kts+) effective shear in place across the region there will be potential for severe weather through the afternoon. The biggest question is for areas south of PGH and whether or not storms will be triggered. There are some subtle waves in low-level wv imagery which could be enough so have issued a convective watch for the vast majority of the forecast area. The primary threat north of the warm front will be hail, and south of the boundary with more dry mid-level air and steep lapse rates there will be an increased wind threat (in addition to hail) with the strongest updrafts.
SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Activity will diminish later in the evening. The occluded surface front will approach western Ohio late tonight. More showers, and possibly a thunderstorm, will develop ahead of the boundary and push through the entire region Sunday morning. Atmosphere will dry out quickly behind the boundary, allowing for some sunshine to make a much needed return. The main concern for Sunday will be the threat for strong winds behind the front. An impressive wind field will develop on the southeastern flank of the 500 low. Mixing heights rise quickly and instability aloft increases. This will allow for the strong winds aloft to mix down to the surface. Current forecast soundings are hinting that a wind advisory may be needed on Sunday.
Temperatures remain well above normal Saturday night and Sunday.
Increasing clouds and the risk for a passing shower on Monday with the return of cold advection and northwest flow.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/. Building high pressure on Tuesday will promote drier conditions. The next chance for rain will be Wednesday as a disturbance passes to our south.
AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Restrictions will be possible into early evening associated with sct thunderstorm activity.
Outlook. Restrictions are likely to continue Sun mrng followed by gusty wind with a Sun cdfnt.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
