Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeStrong low pressure emerged from the Lower Mississippi Valley and rode up the Ohio Valley on April 14th. Destablization was able to occur as a dry slot formed behind morning rain, with CAPE building up to around 1500 J/kg. Also, 70-80 knots of effective bulk shear was able to organize convective updrafts and allow for some storm rotation. Convection quickly organized into a linear structure ahead of a cold front as it crossed southeast Ohio during the late afternoon, reaching the PA/OH border around 7:00 PM and the Laurel Highlands by 10:00 PM.||For this event, the tornado risk was perceived to be relatively high, with the Storm Prediction Center forecasting numeric probabilities in the vicinity of the Ohio River that were of an unusually high level. Two brief EF0 tornadoes were confirmed in Venango County, PA. Otherwise, straight-line wind damage was the primary impact, with a few reports of large hail as well.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA public observer noted two distinct funnel clouds during the passage of a thunderstorm. The second funnel was larger and likely corresponds to the confirmed tornado in the Baker Road area. A second observer along Wilbea Lane also noted this second funnel cloud.
