    Areas affected...portions of eastern Indiana...northern and central
    Ohio...into far western New York/Pennsylvania

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 171728Z - 171930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storm coverage may gradually increase through the
    afternoon with one or more convective clusters possible. Storm
    organization should remain fairly limited, but damaging gusts and
    isolated hail will be possible with the stronger cores. A WW is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...As of 1720 UTC, regional radar and satellite data
    showed isolated thunderstorms had evolved out of a destabilizing air
    mass over parts of the mid and upper OH Valley. Located near the
    periphery of a large mid-level anticyclone and near a weak remnant
    MCV, forcing for ascent is rather nebulous and is likely primarily
    being driven by ongoing strong diurnal heating. As surface
    temperatures approach and breach convective temperatures, storm
    coverage should increase supported by 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE from
    SPC mesoanalysis. Vertical shear is rather weak, generally less than
    20 kt, which should favor a multicellular storm mode. Some
    clustering of stronger cells is also expected given relatively high
    LCL heights (> 1500m) and steep low-level lapse rates supporting
    efficient downdrafts. This will likely favor damaging gusts with the
    stronger storms. Isolated hail may also be possible with the deeper
    and more persistent updrafts given the large magnitude of buoyancy.
    While a few stronger clusters of storms may evolve, the limited
    vertical shear and forcing for ascent suggest storm organization
    will be limited. Given the limited storm organization, a WW is not
    expected.
