Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0502
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
1243 PM EDT Wed Jun 26 2024

Areas affected...Northeastern IN...Northern OH...Northwestern PA

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 261540Z - 262040Z

SUMMARY...Training storms are expected to continue to develop over
the region, with the threat for locally heavy amounts and possible
flash flooding increasing during the afternoon.

DISCUSSION...Mesoanalysis shows a shortwave trough associated with
overnight convection moving east from the mid Mississippi Valley
as a northern stream trough and its associated cold front move
across the upper Great Lakes.  Ahead of these features, low level
west-southwesterly flow is supporting an increase in moisture in
an area of enhanced ascent generated in part by right-entrance
region upper jet dynamics.  Radar shows convection beginning to
train from northeastern Indiana into northwestern Ohio, with rates
increasing along with an uptick in instability.  Guidance is
showing a good signal for sustained moisture advection (PWs
increasing to around 1.75 inches) and ascent across northern Ohio,
expanding into northwest Pennsylvania -- supporting training
storms and the threat for locally heavy amounts ahead of the
front.  HREF neighborhood probabilities indicate that localized
amounts of 2 inches or more are likely over the next few hours.
Localized rainfall amounts exceeding 3-hour flash flood guidance
values can be expected, especially over northeastern Ohio into
northwestern Pennsylvania.
