   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85...

   Valid 080552Z - 080715Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A line of strong to severe storms capable of producing
   mainly damaging winds will continue east-southeastward. Downstream
   watch issuance is possible.

   DISCUSSION...Storms have grown upscale across parts of southeastern
   OH into western PA, with mainly severe/damaging winds being
   reported, including a gust to 75 mph at the Pittsburgh International
   Airport. The airmass downstream of this ongoing convection is not
   particularly unstable given cooler low-level temperatures and less
   low-level moisture. With MUCAPE generally 500-1000 J/kg, storms may
   have a tendency to become slightly elevated with time, particularly
   with eastward extent. Still, given the well-organized nature of the
   line and strong outbound velocities noted on KPBZ radar, there
   appears to be a continued strong to damaging wind threat that may
   extend to the south/southeast of ongoing Severe Thunderstorm Watch
   85. Accordingly, another watch may be needed across parts of
   southwestern PA into western MD and the eastern WV Panhandle.
