    Areas affected...northern Ohio into northwestern Pennsylvania

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 80...

    Valid 312022Z - 312215Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 80
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Potential for damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief
    tornado or two, is likely to increase as an evolving cluster of
    storms overspreads much of the Greater Cleveland area by 5-6 PM EDT.

    DISCUSSION...An evolving cluster of thunderstorms continues to
    slowly intensify and organize. Though not yet well-defined, an
    associated lower/mid-tropospheric cyclonic circulation appears to be
    evolving, near/east of Toledo, with further intensification still
    possible, as convection maintains east/southeasterly inflow of
    unstable air characterized by mixed-layer CAPE up to 1000 J/kg for
    at least another few hours. Embedded within 40+ kt westerly
    deep-layer mean flow it appears that the convective system will
    overspread much of the Greater Cleveland area by 21-22Z, accompanied
    by potentially damaging wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado or
    two.
