    Areas affected...Upper Ohio Valley Vicinity

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

    Valid 142152Z - 142315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado are
    possible into the next couple of hours in southwest Pennsylvania. A
    watch is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...A weak MCV continues to promote thunderstorm
    development in southwest Pennsylvania into northern West Virginia.
    The environment farther east is drier and should lead to a general
    downtrend in intensity with time. That being said, storms closely
    tied to the MCV could produce isolated damaging gusts. The low-level
    wind shear near the MCV core is slightly enhanced per the KPBZ VAD.
    A brief tornado, though unlikely, is possible in southwest
    Pennsylvania immediately ahead of the MCV.
