DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms were ongoing this morning along a pre-frontal trough/confluence zone from northeast KY through southeast OH and into western PA. This convection has slowly increased in intensity late this morning as a very moist boundary layer continues to destabilize and capping erodes. Latest mesoanalysis indicates up to 1500 J/kg MLCAPE across the region and this should increase some through the afternoon. However, widespread cloudiness will inhibit destabilization somewhat, and certainly will limit steepening of low level lapse rates, which currently are rather poor. Nevertheless, sporadic strong wind gusts will be possible as convection has sufficient instability to work with in the presence of 25-35 kt of effective shear. Additionally, PW values greater than 1.75 inches will aid in downburst potential. Overall, the threat over the next few hours is expected to remain limited across the MCD area with only sporadic strong gusts possible in the most intense cells. As such, a watch in not currently expected. ..Leitman/Grams.. 07/11/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...CTP...LWX...RNK...PBZ...RLX...CLE...JKL...ILN... LMK...
