Areas affected...eastern Ohio...southwest Pennsylvania...and western
West Virginia

Concerning...Tornado Watch 81...

Valid 030042Z - 030215Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 81 continues.

SUMMARY...There is a continued threat for tornadoes through the
evening within tornado watch 81.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms with embedded supercells extends
from east-central Ohio into southern Ohio. Shear ahead of these
storms is very favorable with nearly 100% streamwise vorticity in
the lowest 1 km at the RLX and PBZ VWP. Instability is the primary
limiting factor with dewpoints only in the upper 50s to low 60s and
temperatures in the low to mid-60s. However, despite the limited
buoyancy, brief tornadoes have been present with several of these
storms and a similar threat will continue into the late evening.
Shear will increase further as the low-level jet intensifies which
will likely maintain the threat into the early overnight hours.
