Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 
802 am EDT Friday Mar 19 2010 


Synopsis... 
high pressure will provide dry weather into Saturday...with warm 
days and cool nights. A slow moving storm system will bring 
showers later Saturday night into early next week. A few snow 
showers are possible Monday night as cooler air works into the 
region. 


&& 


Near term /through tonight/... 
high pressure will prevail through tonight with mainly clear skies and 
above normal temperatures. 


&& 


Short term /Saturday through Sunday night/... 
ridging will gradually nudge to the east. Middle level moisture will 
be slow to increase...with clouds increasing Saturday. As a cold 
front approaches Saturday night a low chance of showers will 
develop west to east. As a slow moving storm system moves across 
the southeast US showers will be widespread Sunday and Sunday 
night. 


&& 


Long term /Monday through Thursday/... 
low pressure will moves east to the middle Atlantic by Tuesday with 
showers Monday into early Tuesday. Enough cold air behind the 
system Fr a changeover to snow showers for a time Monday night and 
early morning Tuesday. Dry high pressure for Wednesday then the 
next front will bring a chance of showers Thursday. 


&& 


Aviation /12z Friday through Tuesday/... 
blend of recent sref model output maintain VFR conditions across 
the upper Ohio Valley into Saturday night. 


NAM model profiles show surface winds will be generally from the 
west and southwest today increasing to 10 kts with gusts to near 
20 kts this afternoon due to deep vertical mixing. Winds will be 
from the southwest 4-7 kts tonight. 


Incoming low pressure system from the mountain west will develop 
a warm front near the Great Lakes Saturday night. Increased 
surface layer moisture may help develop MVFR stratocumulus across 
the upper Ohio Valley late Saturday night into midday Sunday. By 
that time...MVFR showers associated with the low pressure system 
itself may begin to move across the upper Ohio Valley. These MVFR 
showers should continue into Tuesday. There is a chance the 
precipitation type could include snow showers Monday night. 


&& 


Pbz watches/warnings/advisories... 
Maryland...none. 
Ohio...none. 
PA...none. 
WV...none.
