    Areas affected...portions of eastern OH...western PA...and northern
    WV

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 122...123...

    Valid 172223Z - 180000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 122, 123 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe risk continues across WW122 and WW123. Damaging
    winds, hail and a couple of tornadoes are possible. A local
    extension has been coordinated on the eastern edge of WW123.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2215 UTC, regional radar analysis showed an
    ongoing cluster of severe storms over east-central OH. A mixed mode
    of line segments and supercellular elements has been noted with
    storms thus far owing to moderate buoyancy and 45-50 kt of effective
    shear. The environment downstream is less moist (low to mid 50s F
    dewpoints), but steep low-level lapse rates and ~500 J/kg of MLCAPE
    will continue to support storm organization into western PA and
    northern WV. With the mixed mode and drier surface conditions,
    damaging wind gusts appear the most likely. Though, long hodographs
    suggest hail and a a couple of tornadoes will also remain possible
    with the more persistent supercells.

    Recent radar and hi-res model trends suggest the southern portions
    of the ongoing cluster are most likely to maintain intensity over
    the next couple of hours. Additional discrete development has also
    been noted farther east ahead of these storms. Given the potential
    for the severe risk to extend into western PA this evening, a local
    extension of WW123 eastward has being coordinated.
