    Areas affected...portions of northern Ohio into extreme northwestern Pennsylvania and extreme southwestern New York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 272211Z - 272315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat should increase over the next few hours
    as an organized line of strong to severe thunderstorms approaches.
    Damaging gusts are the primary concern. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    may be needed soon.

    DISCUSSION...A persistent elongated convective system, with a
    history of strong to severe wind gusts, continues to rapidly
    propagate southeastward due to a surging cold pool, delineated by
    -20 F observed surface temperature changes. Surface
    temperatures/dewpoints preceding the convective system have been in
    the lower 90s/lower 70s F, contributing to 2000-3500 J/kg MLCAPE
    (when considering 7+ C/km mid-level lapse rates). However, surface temperatures/dewpoints and mid-level lapse rates decrease with east-southeastward extent, so questions remain how profound the
    severe threat will become after the convective system crosses Lake
    Erie. Nonetheless, considerable momentum associated with the cold
    pool suggests that at least some organized damaging wind threat
    should persist as storms move ashore. Furthermore, the lack of
    friction over the water surface may allow for the generation of
    considerable kinematic momentum, with particularly strong/damaging
    gusts likely along the Lake Erie shoreline.=20

    With an appreciable threat of strong/damaging gusts evident, a
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed soon.
