Severe Thunderstorm Watch

Statement as of 2:30 PM EDT on May 22, 2013

Expires 10:00 PM EDT on May 22, 2013


The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
eastern Kentucky
western Maryland
eastern Ohio
western and central Pennsylvania
southwestern Virginia
West Virginia

* effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 230 PM
until 1000 PM EDT.

* Primary threats include...
several damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
several large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch area is approximately along and 70
statute miles east and west of a line from 20 miles northwest of
Bradford Pennsylvania to 60 miles east southeast of Jackson
Kentucky. For a complete depiction of the watch see the
associated watch outline update (wous64 kwns wou1).

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Remember... a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally
do produce tornadoes.


Other watch information... continue... ww 210...

Discussion... as sub-cloud lapse rates continue to steepen late this
afternoon... thermodynamic profiles will become increasingly
favorable for strengthening surface cold pools with thunderstorms
now developing along and west of the Appalachians. As these begin
to consolidate and support upscale convective growth... a belt of
30-40 kt south southwesterly lower/mid tropospheric flow nosing
through the upper Ohio Valley toward the lower Great Lakes may
enhance storm motion and the risk for potentially damaging wind
gusts.

Aviation... a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft
to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60
knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm
motion vector 24035.
